[RFCv2 09/13] mac80211: enable frame buffering for PS STA

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

 



In case of a neighbor changing its power mode or peering status, call
ieee80211_mesh_sta_ps_update to set or clear the WLAN_STA_PS flag. This
triggers the frame buffering routines for individually-addressed frames in the
tx path used for client mode, which are re-used here.
Also the num_sta_ps counter is updated, which will trigger the buffering
and release of group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons.

Until drivers are adapted for mesh power save, do not inform the driver about
the neighbor STA being in PS mode towards us (as sta_ps_start would do).
