Subject: mac80211: set NEED_TXPROCESSING for PERR frames
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9cbbffe2ded494429b0d005a51a88242bd9b3095;p=linux.git

mac80211: set NEED_TXPROCESSING for PERR frames

A user reported warnings in ath5k due to transmitting frames with no
rates set up.  The frames were Mesh PERR frames, and some debugging
showed an empty control block with just the vif pointer:

>  [  562.522682] XXX txinfo: 00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
>  00 00 00 00 00  ................
>  [  562.522688] XXX txinfo: 00000010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 54 b8 f2
>  db 00 00 00 00  ........T.......
>  [  562.522693] XXX txinfo: 00000020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
>  00 00 00 00 00  ................

Set the IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING flag to ensure that
rate control gets run before the frame is sent.
