From 5b714c6a3753dad0798a70a049e15c7f6bc9446b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:45:28 +0200 Subject: mac80211: fix offchannel queue stop Somebody noticed this problem, and I outlined to them how to fix it, but haven't heard back from them. So while I was adding the state field I figured I could use it to fix it. The problem, as I understand it, is that when we go offchannel while the driver has a queue stopped, the driver will likely start draining the queue and then enable it while offchannel. This in turn will enable the interface queue, and that leads to transmitting data frames on the wrong channel. Fix this by keeping track of offchannel status per interface, and not enabling the interface queues on interfaces that are offchannel when the driver enables a queue.
