From c1d3ad84eae35414b6b334790048406bd6301b12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denis Kenzior Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2019 16:11:10 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: Purge frame registrations on iftype change Currently frame registrations are not purged, even when changing the interface type. This can lead to potentially weird situations where frames possibly not allowed on a given interface type remain registered due to the type switching happening after registration. The kernel currently relies on userspace apps to actually purge the registrations themselves, this is not something that the kernel should rely on. Add a call to cfg80211_mlme_purge_registrations() to forcefully remove any registrations left over prior to switching the iftype.
