From 9cbbffe2ded494429b0d005a51a88242bd9b3095 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Copeland Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2013 12:34:55 -0500 Subject: mac80211: set NEED_TXPROCESSING for PERR frames A user reported warnings in ath5k due to transmitting frames with no rates set up. The frames were Mesh PERR frames, and some debugging showed an empty control block with just the vif pointer: > [ 562.522682] XXX txinfo: 00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > 00 00 00 00 00 ................ > [ 562.522688] XXX txinfo: 00000010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 54 b8 f2 > db 00 00 00 00 ........T....... > [ 562.522693] XXX txinfo: 00000020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > 00 00 00 00 00 ................ Set the IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING flag to ensure that rate control gets run before the frame is sent.
