This would be +OK if we had a perfect guarantee that we always do a proper +deauth/re-auth handshake, but in IBSS mode this doesn't always +happen properly. + +To make problems with block ack (aggregation) sessions getting +stuck less likely, randomize the dialog token so if we start a +new session but the peer still has old state for us, it can +better detect this. + +This is really just a workaround to make things a bit more +robust than they are now - a better fix would be to do a full +authentication handshake in IBSS mode upon having discovered a +new station, and on the receiver resetting the state (removing +and re-adding the station) on receiving the authentication +packet. + +Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> +--- + net/mac80211/sta_info.c | 1 + + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) + +--- a/net/mac80211/sta_info.c ++++ b/net/mac80211/sta_info.c +@@ -324,6 +324,7 @@ struct sta_info *sta_info_alloc(struct i + INIT_WORK(&sta->drv_deliver_wk, sta_deliver_ps_frames); + INIT_WORK(&sta->ampdu_mlme.work, ieee80211_ba_session_work); + mutex_init(&sta->ampdu_mlme.mtx); ++ sta->ampdu_mlme.dialog_token_allocator = prandom_u32_max(U8_MAX); + #ifdef CPTCFG_MAC80211_MESH + if (ieee80211_vif_is_mesh(&sdata->vif)) { + sta->mesh = kzalloc(sizeof(*sta->mesh), gfp); |
