Subject: [PATCH] wifi: rtw88: fix DTIM period handling when conf->dtim_period is zero
Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2025 23:09:37 +0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251125180937.22977-1-roman.peshkichev@gmail.com> (raw)
The function rtw_set_dtim_period() accepted an 'int' dtim_period parameter,
while mac80211 provides dtim_period as 'u8' in struct ieee80211_bss_conf.
In IBSS (ad-hoc) mode mac80211 may set dtim_period to 0.
The driver unconditionally wrote (dtim_period - 1) to REG_DTIM_COUNTER_ROOT,
which resulted in 0xFF when dtim_period was 0. This caused delays in
broadcast/multicast traffic processing and issues with ad-hoc operation.
Convert the function parameter to u8 to match ieee80211_bss_conf and avoid
the underflow by writing 0 when dtim_period is 0.
