Subject: [PATCH 1/3 v2] mac80211: RX BA support for sta max_rx_aggregation_subframes
Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2016 14:24:23 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160821112425.11302-1-maxim.altshul@ti.com> (raw)
The ability to change the max_rx_aggregation frames is useful
in cases of IOP.
There exist some devices (latest mobile phones and some AP's)
that tend to not respect a BA sessions maximum size (in Kbps).
These devices won't respect the AMPDU size that was negotiated during
associasion (even though they do respect the maximal number of packets).
This violation is characterized by a valid number of packets in
a single AMPDU. Even so, the total size will exceed the size negotiated
during association.
Eventually, this will cause some undefined behavior, which in turn
causes the hw to drop packets, causing the throughput to plummet.
This patch will:
a. Make the subframe limitation to be held by each station,
instead of being held only by hw.
b. Create an api for the driver to call which will remove violating
BA sessions with a specific peer. When the session is reopened, it
will use the new size, limiting the aggregation.
