From eff8c76aa02275a7b325e0fa93cc349380299fde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Sat, 8 Aug 2020 19:28:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix spurious disconnect issues with disassoc_low_ack=1 (default) mac80211 reports a packet loss event to user space when 50 consecutive packets were not acked. On a high throughput link with long aggregates and sudden link changes, this can trigger way too easily. Mitigate false positives by only triggering the event on a packet loss if no ACK was received for at least a second Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau --- ...ce-packet-loss-event-false-positives.patch | 116 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 116 insertions(+) create mode 100644 package/kernel/mac80211/patches/subsys/310-mac80211-reduce-packet-loss-event-false-positives.patch diff --git a/package/kernel/mac80211/patches/subsys/310-mac80211-reduce-packet-loss-event-false-positives.patch b/package/kernel/mac80211/patches/subsys/310-mac80211-reduce-packet-loss-event-false-positives.patch new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..85094389a828 --- /dev/null +++ b/package/kernel/mac80211/patches/subsys/310-mac80211-reduce-packet-loss-event-false-positives.patch @@ -0,0 +1,116 @@ +From: Felix Fietkau +Date: Sat, 8 Aug 2020 19:20:02 +0200 +Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: reduce packet loss event false positives + +When running a large number of packets per second with a high data rate +and long A-MPDUs, the packet loss threshold can be reached very quickly +when the link conditions change.
