    mac80211: AMPDU rx reorder timeout timer · 2bff8ebf
    Christian Lamparter 提交于
    This patch introduces a new timer, which will release
    queued-up MPDUs from the reorder buffer, whenever
    they've waited for more than HT_RX_REORDER_BUF_TIMEOUT
    (which is at around 100 ms).
    
    The advantage of having a dedicated timer, instead of
    relying on a constant stream of freshly arriving aMPDUs
    to release the old ones, is particularly observable when
    even a small fraction of MPDUs are forever lost at
    low network speeds.
    
    Previously under these circumstances frames would become
    stuck in the reorder buffer and the network stack of both
    HT peers throttled back, instead of revving up and
    gunning the pipes.
