mac80211: ignore NullFunc frames in the duplicate detection
commit 990d71846a0b7281bd933c34d734e6afc7408e7e upstream. NullFunc packets should never be duplicate just like QoS-NullFunc packets. We saw a client that enters / exits power save with NullFunc frames (and not with QoS-NullFunc) despite the fact that the association supports HT. This specific client also re-uses a non-zero sequence number for different NullFunc frames. At some point, the client had to send a retransmission of the NullFunc frame and we dropped it, leading to a misalignment in the power save state. Fix this by never consider a NullFunc frame as duplicate, just like we do for QoS NullFunc frames. This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201449 Change-Id: I524be05ea82cf34826ed826ac26e264968198a2c Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> [bwh: Backported to 3.16: The condition for "should we check for duplication" is in ieee80211_rx_h_check() and is not inverted] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
