[PATCH] mac80211: fix offchannel TX cookie matching

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

When I introduced in-kernel off-channel TX I
introduced a bug -- the work can't be canceled
again because the code clear the skb pointer.
Fix this by keeping track separately of whether
TX status has already been reported.
