From 4b3ba66a47311770b21e7aba481f4f2a90ba3084 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2010 00:57:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: fix queue depth check for forming new aggregates To improve aggregation length, there should not be more than two fully formed A-MPDU frames in the hardware queue. To ensure this, the code checks the tx queue length before forming new A-MPDUs. This can reduce the throughput (or maybe even starve out A-MPDU traffic) when too many non-aggregated frames are in the queue. Fix this by keeping track of pending A-MPDU frames (even when they're sent out as single frames), but exclude rate control probing frames to improve performance.
