Subject: mac80211: reduce packet loss notifications under load
X-Git-Tag: next-20140530~73^2~41^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=abd43a6a68b2f69821eef3daf789242b262ba2c0;p=karo-tx-linux.git

mac80211: reduce packet loss notifications under load

During strong signal fluctuations under high throughput, few consecutive
failed A-MPDU transmissions can easily trigger packet loss notification,
and thus (in AP mode) client disconnection.

Reduce the number of false positives by checking the A-MPDU status flag
and treating a failed A-MPDU as a single packet.
