From 5cc942a80eff3b41df164d5e875befa4fc12b183 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Koen Vandeputte Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2019 12:12:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: backport dynack improvements Close cooperation with Lorenzo Bianconi resulted in these patches which fix all remaining seen issues when using dynack. Fix link losses when: - Late Ack's are not seen or not present - switching from too low static coverage class to dynack on a live link These are fixed by setting the Ack Timeout/Slottime to the max possible value for the currently used channel width when a new station has been discovered. When traffic flows, dynack is able to adjust to optimal values within a few packets received (typically < 1 second) These changes have been thoroughly tested on ~60 offshore devices all interconnected using mesh over IBSS and dynack enabled on all. Distances between devices varied from <100m up to ~35km Signed-off-by: Koen Vandeputte Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Bianconi --- ...roduce-ath_dynack_set_timeout-routin.patch | 94 ++++++++++++++++++ ...perly-set-last-timeout-timestamp-in-.patch | 32 +++++++ ...-max-timeout-according-to-channel-wi.patch | 96 +++++++++++++++++++ ...-ackto-to-max-timeout-in-ath_dynack_.patch | 78 +++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 300 insertions(+) create mode 100644 package/kernel/mac80211/patches/ath/558-ath9k-dynack-introduce-ath_dynack_set_timeout-routin.patch create mode 100644 package/kernel/mac80211/patches/ath/559-ath9k-dynack-properly-set-last-timeout-timestamp-in-.patch create mode 100644 package/kernel/mac80211/patches/ath/560-ath9k-dynack-set-max-timeout-according-to-channel-wi.patch create mode 100644 package/kernel/mac80211/patches/ath/561-ath9k-dynack-set-ackto-to-max-timeout-in-ath_dynack_.patch diff --git a/package/kernel/mac80211/patches/ath/558-ath9k-dynack-introduce-ath_dynack_set_timeout-routin.patch b/package/kernel/mac80211/patches/ath/558-ath9k-dynack-introduce-ath_dynack_set_timeout-routin.patch new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e13a15026e --- /dev/null +++ b/package/kernel/mac80211/patches/ath/558-ath9k-dynack-introduce-ath_dynack_set_timeout-routin.patch @@ -0,0 +1,94 @@ +From 4420866ef1b602682b009e0186fbb8aefd2125be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 +From: Lorenzo Bianconi +Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2019 18:20:19 +0200 +Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ath9k: dynack: introduce ath_dynack_set_timeout routine + +Introduce ath_dynack_set_timeout routine to configure slottime/ack/cts +timeouts and remove duplicated code + +Tested-by: Koen Vandeputte +Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Bianconi +--- + drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/dynack.c | 37 ++++++++++++++----------- + 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) + +diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/dynack.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/dynack.c +index f112fa5b2eac..38dbe25919f7 100644 +--- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/dynack.c ++++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/dynack.c +@@ -78,6 +78,24 @@ static inline bool ath_dynack_bssidmask(struct ath_hw *ah, const u8 *mac) + return true;
