From 8682250b3c1b75a45feb7452bc413d004cfe3778 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrei Otcheretianski Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2018 08:06:13 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Always report TX status If a frame is dropped for any reason, mac80211 wouldn't report the TX status back to user space. As the user space may rely on the TX_STATUS to kick its state machines, resends etc, it's better to just report this frame as not acked instead.
