WCNSS RX DMA transfer support is limited to 3872 bytes, which is enough for simple MPDUs (single MSDU), but not enough for cases with A-MSDU (depending on max AMSDU size or max MPDU size). In that case the MPDU is spread ove multiple transfers, with the first transfer containing the MPDU header and (at least) the first A-MSDU subframe and additional transfer(s) containing the following A-MSDUs. This can be handled with a series of flags to tagging the first and last A-MSDU transfers. In that case we have to bufferize and re-linearize the A-MSDU buffers into a proper MPDU skb before forwarding to mac80211 (in the same way as it is done in ath10k). This change also includes sanity check of the buffer descriptor to prevent skb overflow.
I like this patch and I think it plugs a gap we have but, my question is, have we seen this code be triggered at least once ?
I'm a bit reticent about apply it upstream unless/until we have. --- bod
