The protection of the management frames is mainly done by mac80211. However, frames for the management of the BlockAck sessions are directly sent by the device. These frames have to be protected if MFP is in use. So the driver has to pass the MFP configuration to the device. Until now, the driver directly read the RSN IE of the BSS. However, it didn't work when the BSS was MFP capable (ieee80211w=1) and the local device has disabled MFP (ieee80211w=0). This patch read the MFP information directly from the struct ieee80211_sta. This information take into account the MFP negotiated during the association. In addition, the code is far simpler.

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.
