From a80f7c0b088187c8471b441d461e937991870661 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2009 13:15:32 +0100 Subject: mac80211: introduce flush operation We've long lacked a good confirmation that frames have really gone out, e.g. before going off-channel for a scan. Add a flush() operation that drivers can implement to provide that confirmation, and use it in a few places: * before scanning sends the nullfunc frames * after scanning sends the nullfunc frames, if any * when going idle, to send any pending frames Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
