Currently, the driver tracks power save state of the stations with the variable sta_asleep_mask. Then, it takes care to not sent data to asleep stations. However, this work is already done by mac80211. Normally, there are no frames for asleep stations in our queues. So, driver do not have to filter frames in its queues (apart the frames marked "AFTER_DTIM"). Notice that there is a risk of race between state of the station and data send to the firmware. However, this risk is limited since the number of frame in queues are small. In add, this race also exists with the current code. Anyway, the firmware is able to detect the problem and driver will receive a 'REQUEUE' status (translated in TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED for mac80211).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
