Sometimes, userspace is able to detect that a peer silently lost its state (like, if the peer reboots). wpa_supplicant does this for IBSS-RSN by registering for auth/deauth frames, but when it detects this, it is only able to remove the encryption keys of the peer and close its port. However, the kernel also hold other state about the station, such as BA sessions, probe response parameters and the like. They also need to be resetted correctly. This patch adds the NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_DEL_IBSS_STA feature flag indicating the driver accepts deleting stations in IBSS mode, which should send a deauth and reset the state of the station, just like in mesh point mode.

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.
