From 60c87f1453e8d53e14941c2d99861a21282942a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Naveen Singh Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2011 20:02:20 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] staging: ath6kl: cfg80211_roam issue; driver wedge If a heavy traffic is undergoing and a link is lost (bcn miss), wlan driver does a reconnection on its own and after connection is re-established, reports it as ROAM_EVENT to cfg. Now this event is handled as work queue. It could very well happen that by the time this event gets handled, cfg would have aged out the bss and we get the following WARN_ON in __cfg80211_roamed function in file net/wireless/sme.c. /* internal error -- how did we get to CONNECTED w/o BSS? */ if (WARN_ON(!wdev->current_bss)) { return; } To resolve the issue we report the BSS whenever we send a connect or roam event to the cfg. kvalo: fix style issues Signed-off-by: Naveen Singh Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/staging/ath6kl/os/linux/cfg80211.c | 96 ++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 52 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/ath6kl/os/linux/cfg80211.c b/drivers/staging/ath6kl/os/linux/cfg80211.c index e87d3aa8526d..f6e3817bd10a 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/ath6kl/os/linux/cfg80211.c +++ b/drivers/staging/ath6kl/os/linux/cfg80211.c @@ -487,74 +487,82 @@ ar6k_cfg80211_connect_event(struct ar6_softc *ar, u16 channel, ((ADHOC_NETWORK & networkType) ?
