[added to the 4.1 stable tree] mac80211: fix purging multicast PS buffer queue

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

 



From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 6b07d9ca9b5363dda959b9582a3fc9c0b89ef3b5 ]

The code currently assumes that buffered multicast PS frames don't have
a pending ACK frame for tx status reporting.
However, hostapd sends a broadcast deauth frame on teardown for which tx
status is requested. This can lead to the "Have pending ack frames"
warning on module reload.
Fix this by using ieee80211_free_txskb/ieee80211_purge_tx_queue.
