[PATCH v3 0/7] mesh_fixes

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

 



A series of fixes and cleanups to the mesh stack.

Changes from v2:

Dropped "mac80211: Don't take the mesh path resize lock when deleting an mpath" (Johannes)
Fixed concurrency between node removal and table growth (Johannes)

Changes from v1:

There were two contentious patches in the first version:

1. mac80211: Fix RCU pointer dereference in mesh_path_discard_frame()

 This has been fixed (see version patch description).

2.  mac80211: Limit amount of HWMP frames and forwarded data packets in
  queues on mesh interfaces

This has been removed from the set until we figure out a more elegant way to
solve the problem it tried to fix.

Cheers,

Javier Cardona (7):
