Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mac80211: Fix incorrect num_sta_ps decrement in __sta_info_destroy
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:02:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1327658573-477-1-git-send-email-helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> (raw)

When WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER is set by ieee80211_sta_block_awake the
num_sta_ps counter is not incremented. Hence, we shouldn't decrement
it in __sta_info_destroy if only WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER is set. This
could result in an incorrect num_sta_ps counter leading to strange side
effects with associated powersaving clients.

Fix this by only decrementing num_sta_ps when WLAN_STA_PS_STA was set
before.
