[RFC PACTH v2 wireless-next 1/3] wifi: mac80211: Get link_id from freq for received management frame

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A non-MLD sta could want to send offchannel management frame (e.g. to
do a offchannel scan). Because ieee80211_rx_for_interface() fills the
link_id information with the link the sta is currently using; hostapd
would send back management frame responses through wrong link causing
the sta to miss them.

To fix that, use link_id that matches the received frame frequency if
any or do not fill link_id indication for management frames, relying
on hostapd instead to infer the proper link from the received frame
frequency.
