* When the insertion fails (sta_info_insert()) returns non-zero), the
|
||||
* structure will have been freed by sta_info_insert()!
|
||||
*
|
||||
* sta entries are added by mac80211 when you establish a link with a
|
||||
* peer. This means different things for the different type of interfaces
|
||||
* we support. For a regular station this mean we add the AP sta when we
|
||||
* receive an assocation response from the AP. For IBSS this occurs when
|
||||
* we receive a probe response or a beacon from target IBSS network. For
|
||||
* WDS we add the sta for the peer imediately upon device open. When using
|
||||
* AP mode we add stations for each respective station upon request from
|
||||
* userspace through nl80211.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Because there are debugfs entries for each station, and adding those
|
||||
* must be able to sleep, it is also possible to "pin" a station entry,
|
||||
* that means it can be removed from the hash table but not be freed.
