Subject: [PATCH] amth10k: fix promisc handling
Date: Tue, 12 May 2015 12:45:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1431434736-7077-1-git-send-email-michal.kazior@tieto.com> (raw)

Patch df1404650ccb ("mac80211: remove support for
IFF_PROMISC") removed promiscuous flag propagation
to drivers.

However the patch was designed against ath10k
without 548462133d98 ("ath10k: fix interrupt
storm").

After merge the code drifted into being no longer
correct and due to monitor vdev being
overzealously started caused IBSS to crash on
999.999.0.636 for QCA988X (this firmware revision
is known to have issues with monitor vdev).

This patch keeps expectations of commit
548462133d98 (i.e. reduce irq storm by not
enabling monitor vdev for AP) and doesn't break
existing (known) setups that imply promiscuous
mode on network interfaces.

Contrary to what it looks like 548462133d98
functionality is not reverted since the intention
was a subset of what df1404650ccb did.

Fixes: c17c997d5613 ("Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next")
