From ef7c67257c9a0765bd1a53f83fd63d55a0f7b224 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2015 09:10:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: don't do driver suspend with auth/assoc in progress Drivers can't really be expected to suspend properly while auth or assoc is in progress since then they don't have any state they could keep with WoWLAN, nor can they actually finish the authentication or association. In fact, keeping this can cause subtle issues with drivers like iwlwifi that refuse WoWLAN if not associated, but have trouble figuring out what's going on in the middle of association. In any case, regardless of possible driver issues in this area, it doesn't make sense for mac80211 to try to WoWLAN-suspend in the middle of such operations, so stop them before.
