[PATCH iwlwifi-next 05/14] wifi: iwlwifi: mld: avoid outdated reorder buffer head_sn

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Avraham Stern <avraham.stern@xxxxxxxxx>

If no frames are received on a queue for a while, the reorder buffer
head_sn may be an old one. When the next frame that is received on
that queue and buffered is a subframe of an AMSDU but not the last
subframe, it will not update the buffer's head_sn. When the frame
release notification arrives, it will not release the buffered frame
because it will look like the notification's NSSN is lower than the
buffer's head_sn (because of a wraparound).
Fix it by updating the head_sn when the first frame is buffered.
