[PATCH 14/17] iwlwifi: drop RX frames during hardware restart

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

 



From: Shahar S Matityahu <shahar.s.matityahu@xxxxxxxxx>

In case of a hardware restart the BA session data in HW is lost
so the reorder buffer simply passes the frames to mac80211 as is
as there is no NSSN set. Instead, we will drop these frames
before they reach the reorder buffer. mac80211 drops such frames anyway,
but we shouldn't rely on that. In addition it saves some
processing time
