From a3ce17d1495b65d62fceb2c7a704bb97133c5de9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chaitanya Tata Date: Wed, 1 May 2019 18:25:24 +0530 Subject: cfg80211: Handle bss expiry during connection If the BSS is expired during connection, the connect result will trigger a kernel warning. Ideally cfg80211 should hold the BSS before the connection is attempted, but as the BSSID is not known in case of auth/assoc MLME offload (connect op) it doesn't. For those drivers without the connect op cfg80211 holds down the reference so it wil not be removed from list. Fix this by removing the warning and silently adding the BSS back to the bss list which is return by the driver (with proper BSSID set) or in case the BSS is already added use that. The requirements for drivers are documented in the API's.
