For example, during +the hardware restart, during off channel operations, +when initiating CSA(upon detecting a radar on the DFS channel), etc. + +The TX queue stop/start logic in mac80211 works well in stopping the TX +when drivers make use of netdev queues, i.e, when Qdiscs in network layer +take care of traffic scheduling. Since the devices implementing +wake_tx_queue can run without Qdiscs, packets will be handed to mac80211 +directly without queueing them in the netdev queues. + +Also, mac80211 does not invoke any of the +netif_stop_*/netif_wake_* APIs if wake_tx_queue is implemented. +Since the queues are not stopped in this case, transmissions can continue +and this will impact negatively on the operation of the wireless device. + +For example, +During hardware restart, we stop the netdev queues so that packets are +not sent to the driver. Since ath10k implements wake_tx_queue, +TX queues will not be stopped and packets might reach the hardware while +it is restarting; this can make hardware unresponsive and the only +possible option for recovery is to reboot the entire system. + +There is another problem to this, it is observed that the packets +were sent on the DFS channel for a prolonged duration after radar +detection impacting the channel closing time. + +We can still invoke netif stop/wake APIs when wake_tx_queue is implemented +but this could lead to packet drops in network layer; adding stop/start +logic for software TXQs in mac80211 instead makes more sense; the change +proposed adds the same in mac80211. + +Signed-off-by: Manikanta Pubbisetty <mpubbise@codeaurora.org> +Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> +--- + +--- a/include/net/mac80211.h ++++ b/include/net/mac80211.h +@@ -1504,6 +1504,8 @@ enum ieee80211_vif_flags { + * @drv_priv: data area for driver use, will always be aligned to + * sizeof(void \*). + * @txq: the multicast data TX queue (if driver uses the TXQ abstraction) ++ * @txqs_stopped: per AC flag to indicate that intermediate TXQs are stopped, ++ * protected by fq->lock. + */ + struct ieee80211_vif { + enum nl80211_iftype type;
