Subject: [PATCH 3.12] ath9k: fix powersave response handling for BA session packets
Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2013 13:06:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1380452791-1261-1-git-send-email-nbd@openwrt.org> (raw)

When a packet is passed from mac80211 to the driver with the
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_PS_RESPONSE flag set, it bypasses the normal driver
internal queueing and goes directly to the UAPSD queue.

When that happens, packets that are part of a BlockAck session still
need to be tracked as such inside the driver, otherwise it will create
discrepancies in the receiver BA reorder window, causing traffic stalls.
This only happens in AP mode with powersave-enabled clients.

This patch fixes the regression introduced in the commit
"ath9k: use software queues for un-aggregated data packets"
