From 2ae70efcea7a695a62bb47170d3fb16674b8dbea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Nishikawa, Kenzoh" Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2014 01:41:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: keep sending peer candidate events while in listen state Instead of sending peer candidate events just once, send them as long as the peer remains in the LISTEN state in the peering state machine, when userspace is implementing the peering manager. Userspace may silence the events from a peer by progressing the state machine or by setting the link state to BLOCKED. Fixes the problem that a mesh peering process won't be fired again after the previous first peering trial fails due to like air propagation error if the peering is managed by user space such as wpa_supplicant. This patch works with another patch for wpa_supplicant described here which fires a peering process again triggered by the notice from kernel. http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2014-November/031235.html Signed-off-by: Kenzoh Nishikawa Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg --- net/mac80211/mesh_plink.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/net/mac80211/mesh_plink.c b/net/mac80211/mesh_plink.c index b488e1859b18..fa94ca15ba95 100644 --- a/net/mac80211/mesh_plink.c +++ b/net/mac80211/mesh_plink.c @@ -523,6 +523,13 @@ void mesh_neighbour_update(struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *sdata, sdata->u.mesh.mshcfg.auto_open_plinks && rssi_threshold_check(sdata, sta)) changed = mesh_plink_open(sta); + else if (sta->plink_state == NL80211_PLINK_LISTEN && + (sdata->u.mesh.user_mpm || + sdata->u.mesh.security & IEEE80211_MESH_SEC_AUTHED)) + cfg80211_notify_new_peer_candidate(sdata->dev, hw_addr, + elems->ie_start, + elems->total_len, + GFP_ATOMIC); ieee80211_mps_frame_release(sta, elems); out: -- 2.34.1
