Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mac80211: Fix incorrect num_sta_ps decrement in ap_sta_ps_end
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:02:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1327658573-477-2-git-send-email-helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1327658573-477-1-git-send-email-helmut.schaa@googlemail.com>
If the driver blocked this specific STA with the help of
ieee80211_sta_block_awake we won't clear WLAN_STA_PS_STA later but
still decrement num_sta_ps. Hence, the next data frame from this
STA will trigger ap_sta_ps_end again and also decrement num_sta_ps
again leading to an incorrect num_sta_ps counter.
This can result in problems with powersaving clients not waking up
from PS because the TIM calculation might be skipped due to the
incorrect num_sta_ps counter.
