[PATCH 4.9 20/59] mac80211: Fix station bandwidth setting after channel switch

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Oct 08 2018 - 14:39:59 EST


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

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

From: Ilan Peer <ilan.peer@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 0007e94355fdb71a1cf5dba0754155cba08f0666 ]

When performing a channel switch flow for a managed interface, the
flow did not update the bandwidth of the AP station and the rate
scale algorithm. In case of a channel width downgrade, this would
result with the rate scale algorithm using a bandwidth that does not
match the interface channel configuration.

Fix this by updating the AP station bandwidth and rate scaling algorithm
before the actual channel change in case of a bandwidth downgrade, or
after the actual channel change in case of a bandwidth upgrade.
