Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: allow station search on AP/VLANs
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2018 11:50:20 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1532931620-3161-1-git-send-email-mpubbise@codeaurora.org> (raw)

When mac80211 receives a packet, we interate over the list of
active interfaces to find the station(which transmitted the packet).
Currently, station search is not allowed on AP/VLAN interface; since
stations can also get mapped to AP/VLAN interfaces, they are worth
considering for station search.

Found this during code review; just a theoritical fix.
