From ef9456a85dabe2222a4cb80fe8eef6361170c55d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emmanuel Grumbach Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2012 10:23:36 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: fix BSS comparison Since the BSS table is organized in a RB tree, the BSSs need to be comparable. This means that we must define a < and > operator to the BSS object. compare_ethr_addr isn't enough since it returns only a binary value. Since Felix's cfg80211: use compare_ether_addr on MAC addresses instead of memcmp Because of the constant size and guaranteed 16 bit alignment, the inline compare_ether_addr function is much cheaper than calling memcmp. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: John W. Linville The BSS table is corrupted: rb_find_bss can't find the bss. As a result BSSes are duplicated in the BSS table, and we get stuck while probing an AP before associating (in STA mode).
