Flush TX - wireless summit topic

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

 



Another thing we spoke about at the wireless summit was flushing TX
prior to changing channel / scan. Bob, remember the issue with ath5k
on the band not coinciding on received skbs since we don't do a DMA RX
flush prior to channel change? Well one theory discussed was that we
would see that issue disappear if we actually did a proper TX flush
prior to channel change since we expect we would not see further
incoming frames from our AP if we told it we were going to PS (sending
a null func frame). If we implement a proper TX flush then the theory
goes that we wouldn't need to do any sort of DMA flush as we would not
have any frames pending.

So a plan here would be to give that a shot.
