[PATCH 2/2] iwlwifi: mvm: send delba upon rx ba session timeout

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

 



From: Naftali Goldstein <naftali.goldstein@xxxxxxxxx>

When an RX block-ack session times out, the firmware, which offloads
RX reordering but not the BA session negotiation, stops the session
but doesn't send a DELBA.  This causes the the session to remain
active in the remote device, so no more BA sessions will be
established, causing a severe throughput degradation due to the lack
of aggregation.

Use the new ieee80211_rx_ba_timer_expired API when the ba session timer
expires, since this will tear down the ba session and also send a delba.

The previous API used is intended for drivers that offload the
addba/delba negotiation, but not the rx reordering, while our driver
does the opposite.

This patch depends on "mac80211: add api to start ba session timer
expired flow".
