Usage

pubsta

the station

Overview

When a device transmits frames in a way that it can't tell mac80211 in the TX status about the EOSP, it must clear the IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP bit and call this function instead. This applies for PS-Poll as well as uAPSD.

Note that just like with _tx_status and _rx drivers must not mix calls to irqsafe/non-irqsafe versions, this function must not be mixed with those either. Use the all irqsafe, or all non-irqsafe, don't mix!

NB

the _irqsafe version of this function doesn't exist, no driver needs it right now. Don't call this function if you'd need the _irqsafe version, look at the git history and restore the _irqsafe version!
