Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mac80211: allow to support AP_LINK_PS when the set_tim is still needed
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2016 16:30:02 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160915133003.24214-1-luca@coelho.fi> (raw)
From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>
In 46fa38e84b656f80edf83d21144221b0cad18d61, Johannes
allowed to use mac80211's code for handling stations
that go to PS or send PS-Poll / uAPSD trigger frames
for devices that enable RSS.
This means that mac80211 doesn't look at frames anymore
but rather relies on a notification that will come from
the device when a PS transition occurs or when a
PS-Poll / trigger frame is detected by the firmware.
iwlwifi will need this capability but still needs mac80211
to take care of the TIM IE. Today, if a driver sets
AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will not update the TIM IE.
Change mac80211 to look at the set_tim driver callback
rather than AP_LINK_PS to decide if the driver handles
the TIM IE internally or not.
