[PATCH 4.9 037/103] iwlwifi: mvm: Use aux queue for offchannel frames in dqa

Show all headers | View raw

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Beni Lev <beni.lev@intel.com>

commit 6574dc943fc32a2fce69fab14891abca7eecb67c upstream.

Since offchannel activity doesn't always require a BSS, e.g. ANQP
sessions, offchannel frames should not use the BSS queue, because it
might not be initialized.
Use the auxilary queue instead
