Recently it is root caused that setting promisc filter for Mesh interface is causing performance and stability issues. To fix this issue, firmware will configure appropriate rxfilters by default for mesh vdev during vdev creation. This change fixes monitor vdev creation based on firmware IE Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo --- diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.c index 7005e2a98726..b796be1d6318 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.c @@ -326,6 +326,7 @@ static const char *const ath10k_core_fw_feature_str[] = { [ATH10K_FW_FEATURE_PEER_FLOW_CONTROL] = "peer-flow-ctrl", [ATH10K_FW_FEATURE_BTCOEX_PARAM] = "btcoex-param", [ATH10K_FW_FEATURE_SKIP_NULL_FUNC_WAR] = "skip-null-func-war", + [ATH10K_FW_FEATURE_ALLOWS_MESH_BCAST] = "allows-mesh-bcast", }; static unsigned int ath10k_core_get_fw_feature_str(char *buf, diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.h b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.h index 6f2608a501e2..6d06ec5cd087 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.h +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.h @@ -562,6 +562,13 @@ enum ath10k_fw_features { */ ATH10K_FW_FEATURE_SKIP_NULL_FUNC_WAR = 15, + /* Firmware allow other BSS mesh broadcast/multicast frames without + * creating monitor interface.
