Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2017 01:13:35 +0000 From: "Levin, Alexander (Sasha Levin)" <alexander.levin@...izon.com> To: "linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, "stable@...r.kernel.org" <stable@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@...el.com>, Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>, "Levin, Alexander (Sasha Levin)" <alexander.levin@...izon.com> Subject: [PATCH review for 4.4 05/26] mac80211: fix power saving clients handling in iwlwifi From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@...el.com> [ Upstream commit d98937f4ea713d21e0fcc345919f86c877dd8d6f ] iwlwifi now supports RSS and can't let mac80211 track the PS state based on the Rx frames since they can come out of order. iwlwifi is now advertising AP_LINK_PS, and uses explicit notifications to teach mac80211 about the PS state of the stations and the PS poll / uAPSD trigger frames coming our way from the peers. Because of that, the TIM stopped being maintained in mac80211. I tried to fix this in commit c68df2e7be0c ("mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE") but that was later reverted by Felix in commit 6c18a6b4e799 ("Revert "mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE") since it broke drivers that do not implement set_tim. Since none of the drivers that set AP_LINK_PS have the set_tim() handler set besides iwlwifi, I can bail out in __sta_info_recalc_tim if AP_LINK_PS AND .set_tim is not implemented.
