Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: Fix sequence number assignment for non-data frames
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 10:37:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1394617075-24664-1-git-send-email-helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> (raw)
Since commit 558ff225de80ac95b132d3a115ddadcd64498b4f (ath9k: fix
ps-poll responses under a-mpdu sessions) non-data frames would have
gotten a sequence number from a TIDs sequence counter instead of
using the global sequence counter.
This can lead to instable connections.
To fix this only select the correct TID if we are processing a
data frame. Furthermore, prevent non-data frames to get a sequence
number from a TID sequence counter by adding a check to
ath_tx_setup_buffer.
