Subject: [PATCH 3/6] mac80211: fix power saving clients handling in iwlwifi
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2017 14:24:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170220132439.16064-3-johannes@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170220132439.16064-1-johannes@sipsolutions.net>
From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>
iwlwifi now supports RSS and can't let mac80211 track the
PS state based on the Rx frames since they can come out of
order. iwlwifi is now advertising AP_LINK_PS, and uses
explicit notifications to teach mac80211 about the PS state
of the stations and the PS poll / uAPSD trigger frames
coming our way from the peers.
Because of that, the TIM stopped being maintained in
mac80211. I tried to fix this in commit c68df2e7be0c
("mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE")
but that was later reverted by Felix in commit 6c18a6b4e799
("Revert "mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE")
since it broke drivers that do not implement set_tim.
Since none of the drivers that set AP_LINK_PS have the
set_tim() handler set besides iwlwifi, I can bail out in
__sta_info_recalc_tim if AP_LINK_PS AND .set_tim is not
implemented.
