From f59374eb427fb1377fdb7b8b3691c48e0c77a3c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sara Sharon Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2016 23:46:14 +0200 Subject: mac80211: synchronize driver rx queues before removing a station Some devices, like iwlwifi, have RSS queues. This may cause a situation where a disassociation is handled in control path and results in station removal while there are prior RX frames that were still not processed in other queues. When they will be processed the station will be gone, and the frames will be dropped. Add a synchronization interface to avoid that. When driver returns from the synchronization mac80211 may remove the station.
