From a2c40249a36d0b4d76d1caf6bf806e4ae5b06e8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shanyu Zhao Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2010 11:15:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix rts threshold check Currently whenever rts thresold is set, every packet will use RTS protection no matter its size exceeds the threshold or not. This is due to a bug in the rts threshold check. if (len > tx->local->hw.wiphy->rts_threshold) { txrc.rts = rts = true; } Basically it is comparing an int (len) and a u32 (rts_threshold), and the variable len is assigned as: len = min_t(int, tx->skb->len + FCS_LEN, tx->local->hw.wiphy->frag_threshold); However, when frag_threshold is "-1", len is always "-1", which is 0xffffffff therefore rts is always set to true.
