Linux kernel source tree
7a6cfe28ae
When entering suspend as a client station with wowlan enabled, the Wi-Fi link is supposed to be maintained. In that state, no more data is generated from client side, and the link stays idle as long the station is suspended and as long the AP as no data to transmit. However, most of the APs kick-off such 'inactive' stations after few minutes, causing unexpected disconnect (reconnect, etc...). The usual way to prevent this is to submit a Null function frame periodically as a keep-alive. This is something that can be host /software generated (e.g. wpa_supplicant), but that needs to be offloaded to the Wi-Fi controller in case of suspended host. This change enables firmware generated keep-alive frames when entering wowlan suspend, using the 'mkeep_alive' IOVAR.

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.
