# ieee80211\_sta\_eosp(9)

notify mac80211 about end of SP

## NAME

ieee80211\_sta\_eosp - notify mac80211 about end of SP

## SYNOPSIS

**void ieee80211\_sta\_eosp(struct ieee80211\_sta \*** *pubsta***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*pubsta*

the station

## DESCRIPTION

When a device transmits frames in a way that it can't tell mac80211 in the TX status about the EOSP, it must clear the **IEEE80211\_TX\_STATUS\_EOSP** bit and call this function instead. This applies for PS-Poll as well as uAPSD.

Note that just like with **\_tx\_status** and **\_rx** drivers must not mix calls to irqsafe/non-irqsafe versions, this function must not be mixed with those either. Use the all irqsafe, or all non-irqsafe, don't mix!

## NB

the \_irqsafe version of this function doesn't exist, no driver needs it right now. Don't call this function if you'd need the \_irqsafe version, look at the git history and restore the \_irqsafe version!
