The loss is communicated to the host-os, but ath10k does not +trigger a low-ack events by itself. + +The mac80211 framework for loss detection however detects this +circumstance well in case of ath10k. So use it regardless of ath10k's +own loss detection mechanism. + +Patching this in mac80211 does allow this hack to be used with any +flavor of ath10k/ath11k. + +Signed-off-by: David Bauer <mail@david-bauer.net> +--- + net/mac80211/status.c | 6 ------ + 1 file changed, 6 deletions(-) + +--- a/net/mac80211/status.c ++++ b/net/mac80211/status.c +@@ -794,12 +794,6 @@ static void ieee80211_lost_packet(struct + unsigned long pkt_time = STA_LOST_PKT_TIME; + unsigned int pkt_thr = STA_LOST_PKT_THRESHOLD; + +- /* If driver relies on its own algorithm for station kickout, skip +- * mac80211 packet loss mechanism. +- */ +- if (ieee80211_hw_check(&sta->local->hw, REPORTS_LOW_ACK)) +- return; +- + /* This packet was aggregated but doesn't carry status info */ + if ((info->flags & IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU) && + !(info->flags & IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU)) |
