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 association (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 make the subframe limitation to be held by each station, instead of being held only by hw.

commit 480dd46b9d6812e5fb7172c305ee0f1154c26eed upstream.

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
association (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 make the subframe limitation to be held by each station,
instead of being held only by hw.

mac80211: pass block ack session timeout to to driver 2017-05-20T12:27:03+00:00 Sara Sharon sarasharon1@gmail.com 2015-12-30T14:06:04+00:00 d13333edbcc7e931e63bd94feb7f81d7d990986a commit 50ea05efaf3bed7dd34bcc2635a8b3f53bd0ccc1 upstream. Currently mac80211 does not inform the driver of the session block ack timeout when starting a rx aggregation session. Drivers that manage the reorder buffer need to know this parameter.

mac80211: Copy tx'ed beacons to monitor mode 2015-09-29T13:56:33+00:00 Helmut Schaa helmut.schaa@googlemail.com 2015-09-09T07:46:32+00:00 35afa588624c4f9e19a0edfbb51769b59c90bb0d When debugging wireless powersave issues on the AP side it's quite helpful to see our own beacons that are transmitted by the hardware/driver. However, this is not that easy since beacons don't pass through the regular TX queues. Preferably drivers would call ieee80211_tx_status also for tx'ed beacons but that's not always possible. Hence, just send a copy of each beacon generated by ieee80211_beacon_get_tim to monitor devices when they are getting fetched by the driver. Also add a HW flag IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_TX_STATUS that can be used by drivers to indicate that they report TX status for beacons.
