[PATCH v4 2/4] mac80211: QoS multicast frames have No Ack policy

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

 



Previously QoS multicast frames had the Normal Acknowledgment QoS
control bits set. This would cause broadcast frames to be discarded by
peers with which we have a BA session, since their sequence number would
fall outside the allowed range. Set No Ack QoS control bits on multicast
QoS frames and filter these in de-aggregation code.

Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxx>

v2: Use proper QoS Ack Policy ctl field mask (Christian)

v3: Clean up conditional (Johannes)
