From f09603a259ffef69ad4516a04eb06cd65ac522fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 13:55:21 +0100 Subject: mac80211: add sta_state callback (based on Eliad's patch) Add a callback to notify the low-level driver whenever the state of a station changes. The driver is only notified when the station is actually in the mac80211 hash table, not for pre-insert state transitions. To allow the driver to replace sta_add/remove calls with this, call extra transitions with the NOTEXIST state. This callback can fail, so we need to be careful in handling it when a station is inserted, particularly in the IBSS case where we still keep the station entry around for mac80211 purposes.
