    mac80211: allow driver to disconnect after resume · 95acac61
    Johannes Berg authored
    In WoWLAN, devices may use crypto keys for TX/RX
    and could also implement GTK rekeying. If the
    driver isn't able to retrieve replay counters and
    similar information from the device upon resume,
    or if the device isn't responsive due to platform
    issues, it isn't safe to keep the connection up
    as GTK rekey messages from during the sleep time
    could be replayed against it.
    
    The only protection against that is disconnecting
    from the AP. Modifying mac80211 to do that while
    it is resuming would be very complex and invasive
    in the case that the driver requires a reconfig,
    so do it after it has resumed completely. In that
    case, however, packets might be replayed since it
    can then only happen after TX/RX are up again, so
    mark keys for interfaces that need to disconnect
    as "tainted" and drop all packets that are sent
    or received with those keys.
