    mac80211: send {ADD,DEL}BA on AC_VO like other mgmt frames, as per spec · c6e13327
    Karl Beldan 提交于
    ATM, {ADD,DEL}BA and BAR frames are sent on the AC matching the TID of
    the BA parameters. In the discussion [1] about this patch, Johannes
    recalled that it fixed some races with the DELBA and indeed this
    behavior was introduced in [2].
    While [2] is right for the BARs, the part queueing the {ADD,DEL}BAs on
    their BA params TID AC violates the spec and is more a workaround for
    some drivers. Helmut expressed some concerns wrt such drivers, in
    particular DELBAs in rt2x00.
    
    ATM, DELBAs are sent after a driver has called (hence "purposely")
    ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe and Johannes and Emmanuel gave some
    details wrt intentions behind the split of the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_*
    given to the driver ampdu_action supposed to call this function, which
    could prove handy to people trying to do the right thing in faulty
    drivers (if their fw/hw don't get in their way).
