-    ath9k: add a recv budget
-    
-    Implement a recv budget so that in cases of high traffic we still allow other
-    taskets to get processed.
-    
-    Without this, we can encounter a host of issues during high wireless traffic
-    reception depending on system load including rcu stall's detected (ARM),
-    soft lockups, failure to service critical tasks such as watchdog resets,
-    and triggering of the tx stuck tasklet.
-    
-    The same thing was proposed previously by Ben:
-     http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg112891.html
-    
-    The only difference here is that I make sure only processed packets are counted
-    in the budget by checking at the end of the rx loop.

-    ath9k: fix possible hang on flush
-    
-    If a flush is requested, make sure to clear the descriptor once we've
-    processed it.
-    
-    This resolves a hang that will occur if all RX descriptors are full when a
-    flush is requested.

-    ath9k: remove tid->paused flag
-    
-    There are some corner cases where the driver could get stuck with a full
-    tid queue that is paused, leading to a software tx queue hang.
-    
-    Since the tx queueing rework, pausing per-tid queues on aggregation
-    session setup is no longer necessary. The driver will assign sequence
-    numbers to buffered frames when a new session is established, in order
-    to get the correct starting sequence number.
-    
-    mac80211 prevents new frames from entering the queue during setup.

-    ath9k_hw: do not lower ANI setting below default on AR913x
+    mac80211: reduce packet loss notifications under load
     
-    When the amount of noise fluctuates strongly, low immunity settings
-    can sometimes disrupt signal detection on AR913x chips. When that
-    happens, no OFDM/CCK errors are reported anymore, and ANI tunes the
-    radio to the lowest immunity settings.
-    Usually rx/tx fails as well in that case.
+    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.
     
-    To fix this, keep noise immunity settings at or above ANI default level,
-    which will keep radio parameters at or above INI values.
+    Reduce the number of false positives by checking the A-MPDU status flag
+    and treating a failed A-MPDU as a single packet.

-    ath9k: fix a scheduling while atomic bug in CSA handling
+    ath9k: avoid passing buffers to the hardware during flush
     
-    Commit "ath9k: prepare for multi-interface CSA support" added a call to
-    ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces in atomic context (beacon tasklet),
-    which is crashing.
-    Use ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic instead.
+    The commit "ath9k: fix possible hang on flush" changed the receive code
+    to always link rx descriptors of processed frames, even when flushing.
+    In some cases, this leads to flushed rx buffers being passed to the
+    hardware while rx is already stopped.
