Upon reception, a packet must be categorized, either it's destination is the host, or it is another host. A packet with no destination addressing fields may be valid in two situations: - the packet has no source field: only ACKs are built like that, we consider the host as the destination. - the packet has a valid source field: it is directed to the PAN coordinator, as for know we don't have this information we consider we are not the PAN coordinator.
There was likely a copy/paste error made during a previous cleanup because the if clause is now containing exactly the same condition as in the switch case, which can never be true. In the past the destination address was used in the switch and the source address was used in the if, which matches what the spec says.

This patch looks okay but it should not be addressed to stable. Leave of course the fixes tag.
Wpan sends pull requests to net and they have their own way to get into the stable tree when they are in net.
Thanks.

Why do that? Do you not want this in the stable tree?

No, the normal method has been used for quite a while now.
Please read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for how to do this properly.
Hello Greg.

We want and we will leave the cc to stable in place, see below.
Wpan sends pull requests to net and they have their own way to get into the stable tree when they are in net.
No, the normal method has been used for quite a while now.
I think Alex was refering to the times where netdev core changes have been brought to stable via a different route by DaveM.
This was never the case for ieee802154 though. We are such a small subsystem with little traffic that we followed the normal stable process and our patches ahve always been picked up by Sasha and the bots.
I will take this through my tree with stable cc and fixes tag preserved and it will go to Linux via net and follow the normal process.

Great, thanks!
We should expect it not to apply until the tag mentioned in Fixes because in 2015 or so there was some cleaned done by Alexander which move things around a little bit, but I think we are fine skipping those older releases anyway.
Thanks, Miquèl

The machinery behind stable handles this already. It checks for the fixes tag and also sees if patches apply.
