mac80211: Fix TX status reporting for injected data frames
An earlier optimization on removing unnecessary traffic on cooked monitor interfaces ("mac80211: reduce the amount of unnecessary traffic on cooked monitor interfaces ") ended up removing quite a bit more than just unnecessary traffic. It was not supposed to remove TX status reporting for injected frames, but ended up doing it by checking the injected flag in skb->cb only after that field had been cleared with memset.. Fix this by taking a local copy of the injected flag before skb->cb is cleared. This broke user space applications that depend on getting TX status notifications for injected data frames. For example, STA inactivity poll from hostapd did not work and ended up kicking out stations even if they were still present. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.
