[PATCH] ath10k: request firmware flush in ath10k_flush.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

CT firmware now supports flushing all tids for all
peers for all vdevs.  This appears to help the ath10k_flush
logic work faster and not cause timeouts.

This requires the previously-sent patch that enables the
ATH10K_FW_FEATURE_WMI_10X_CT feature bit.  This patch provide
a nice improvement in stability and flush performance in my
testing scenarios.
