Because ieee80211_tx_status in status.c checks if outgoing BlockAck requests have been acked, it is necessary to tell the driver that tx feedback for this sort of frame is important. Otherwise, the stack will continue to send the same BlockAck request over and over, which can cause the receiver to flush or clean its reorder buffer over and over. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- AFAICT no driver will be really affected by this patch since either the TX status is always reported anyway or not at all. BTW: ieee80211_tx_skb_tid is used by a few other agg functions (mostly addba/delba), so maybe it would make sense to do the same there. --- net/mac80211/agg-tx.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/mac80211/agg-tx.c b/net/mac80211/agg-tx.c index 5cc1bf7..0eaf245 100644 --- a/net/mac80211/agg-tx.c +++ b/net/mac80211/agg-tx.c @@ -135,7 +135,8 @@ void ieee80211_send_bar(struct ieee80211_vif *vif, u8 *ra, u16 tid, u16 ssn) bar->control = cpu_to_le16(bar_control); bar->start_seq_num = cpu_to_le16(ssn); - IEEE80211_SKB_CB(skb)->flags |= IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT; + IEEE80211_SKB_CB(skb)->flags |= IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT | + IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS; ieee80211_tx_skb_tid(sdata, skb, tid); } EXPORT_SYMBOL(ieee80211_send_bar); -- 1.7.10 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
