Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Add missing case to PERR processing
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2015 11:02:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <55787BA1.9030807@cococorp.com> (raw)

When the nexthop is unable to resolve its own nexthop it will send back a
PERR with a zero target_sn. According to section 13.10.11.4.3 step b in the
2012 standard that perr should be forwarded and the associated mpath->sn
should be incremented. Neither one of those was happening whichis rather
bad because the originator was not told that packets are black holing.
