This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled mac80211: fix on-channel remain-on-channel to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11.4. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From aebe709acfb3faef20e6813eca8ec02effc48a8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Wed, 14 May 2014 15:34:41 +0200 Subject: mac80211: fix on-channel remain-on-channel commit b4b177a5556a686909e643f1e9b6434c10de079f upstream. Jouni reported that if a remain-on-channel was active on the same channel as the current operating channel, then the ROC would start, but any frames transmitted using mgmt-tx on the same channel would get delayed until after the ROC. The reason for this is that the ROC starts, but doesn't have any handling for "remain on the same channel", so it stops the interface queues. The later mgmt-tx then puts the frame on the interface queues (since it's on the current operating channel) and thus they get delayed until after the ROC. To fix this, add some logic to handle remaining on the same channel specially and not stop the queues etc. in this case. This not only fixes the bug but also improves behaviour in this case as data frames etc. can continue to flow.
