If one of the nodes tries to establish a link +again before it is unblocked on the other side, it will block the link to +that other side. The same happens on the other side when it unblocks the +link. In that scenario, the link never recovers on its own. + +To fix this, allow restarting authentication even if the link is in blocked +state, but don't initiate the attempt until the blocked period is over. + +Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name> +--- + +--- a/src/ap/ieee802_11.c ++++ b/src/ap/ieee802_11.c +@@ -2527,15 +2527,6 @@ static void handle_auth(struct hostapd_d + seq_ctrl); + return; + } +-#ifdef CONFIG_MESH +- if ((hapd->conf->mesh & MESH_ENABLED) && +- sta->plink_state == PLINK_BLOCKED) { +- wpa_printf(MSG_DEBUG, "Mesh peer " MACSTR +- " is blocked - drop Authentication frame", +- MAC2STR(mgmt->sa)); +- return; +- } +-#endif /* CONFIG_MESH */ + } else { + #ifdef CONFIG_MESH + if (hapd->conf->mesh & MESH_ENABLED) { |
