Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix WARN_ON in the new work code
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:44:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B5CA323.90401@openwrt.org> (raw)

ieee80211_work_rx_mgmt currently enqueues various management frames,
including deauth and disassoc frames, however the function
ieee80211_work_rx_queued_mgmt does not handle these, as they should
only occur if the AP is buggy. It does emit a WARN_ON when this happens
though, and several users have reported such instances.
Fix the WARN_ON by not queueing such frames in the first place.
