[RFC] mac80211: reestablish mis-configured existing Rx BA sessions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When forming a Rx BA session, sometimes the ADDBA response gets lost.
This leads to a situation where the session is configured locally, but
doesn't exist on the remote side. Subsequent ADDBA requests are declined
by mac80211.

Fix this by assuming the session state of the initiator is the correct
one. When receiving an unexpected ADDBA request on a TID with an active
Rx BA session, delete the existing one and establish a new session.
