[PATCH 1/2] wifi: mac80211: introduce ieee80211_refresh_tx_agg_session_timer()

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

 



This allows low level drivers to refresh the tx agg session timer, based on
querying stats from the firmware usually. Especially for some mt76 devices
support .net_fill_forward_path would bypass mac80211, which leads to tx BA
session timeout for certain clients.
