[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] ath9k: fix ps-poll responses under a-mpdu sessions

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

 



From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 558ff225de80ac95b132d3a115ddadcd64498b4f upstream.

When passing tx frames to the U-APSD queue for powersave poll responses,
the ath_atx_tid pointer needs to be passed to ath_tx_setup_buffer for
proper sequence number accounting.

This fixes high latency and connection stability issues with ath9k
running as AP and a few kinds of mobile phones as client, when PS-Poll
is heavily used
