[PATCH 1/4] New netlink command for TID specific configuration

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

 



From: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vthiagar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a new NL command, NL80211_CMD_SET_TID_CONFIG, for TID specific
configurations such as retry count and AMPDU aggregation
control(disable/enable). These per-TID configurations are passed in
NL80211_ATTR_TID_CONFIG which is a nested attribute of TID configuration.
TID for which the retry configuration is to be applied is passed in
NL80211_ATTR_TID attribute. When the user-space wants this configuration
peer specific rather than being applied for all the connected stations,
MAC address of the peer can be passed in NL80211_ATTR_MAC attribute.
The retry count is passed in NL80211_ATTR_TID_RETRY_SHORT and/or
NL80211_ATTR_TID_RETRY_LONG attribute.
Driver should advertise WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_MAX_DATA_RETRY_COUNT and
max_data_retry_count value to notify user space to avoid of passing
greater than the allowed limit.
Driver supporting TID specific configuration should advertise
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_PER_TID_* and supporting per-STA data
retry count configuration should advertise NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_PER_STA_*.
