[058/289] mac80211: Fix ibss station got expired immediately

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Dec 07 2010 - 20:51:21 EST


2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanoharan@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c8716d9dc13c7f6ee92f2bfc6cc3b723b417bff8 upstream.

Station addition in ieee80211_ibss_rx_queued_mgmt is not updating
sta->last_rx which is causing station expiry in ieee80211_ibss_work
path. So sta addition and deletion happens repeatedly.
