From 3633ebebab2bbe88124388b7620442315c968e8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Copeland Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2015 10:16:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: enable assoc check for mesh interfaces We already set a station to be associated when peering completes, both in user space and in the kernel. Thus we should always have an associated sta before sending data frames to that station. Failure to check assoc state can cause crashes in the lower-level driver due to transmitting unicast data frames before driver sta structures (e.g. ampdu state in ath9k) are initialized. This occurred when forwarding in the presence of fixed mesh paths: frames were transmitted to stations with whom we hadn't yet completed peering.
