From: Felix Fietkau Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2016 11:11:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix purging multicast PS buffer queue The code currently assumes that buffered multicast PS frames don't have a pending ACK frame for tx status reporting. However, hostapd sends a broadcast deauth frame on teardown for which tx status is requested. This can lead to the "Have pending ack frames" warning on module reload. Fix this by using ieee80211_free_txskb/ieee80211_purge_tx_queue.
