Hi,
I'm confused about our IBSS merge code.
ieee80211_rx_bss_info:
...
/* same BSSID */
if (memcmp(cbss->bssid, sdata->u.ibss.bssid, ETH_ALEN) == 0)
goto put_bss;
...
/* give slow hardware some time to do the TSF sync */
if (rx_timestamp < IEEE80211_IBSS_MERGE_DELAY)
goto put_bss;
...
Both of this was added by Alina, but why did the patch adding the first
part not remove the second part again? If we suddenly need to adopt a
new BSSID due to higher TSF why wait for the HW to sync first?
It seems the latter was a workaround for syncing over and over again
when the HW hadn't caught up yet, but that doesn't seem worthwhile any
more since we no longer re-sync with the same BSSID?
