From 82bf60b712ed9d3d14038168a424d170ca0431fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: nbd Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 23:35:27 +0000 Subject: madwifi: put an upper limit on the amount of sampling that minstrel should do when the link changes its status from very good to slightly bad. the previous version of the patch could have resulted in erratic rate control behavior when there was a lot of sampling backlog. git-svn-id: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk@10921 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73 --- .../madwifi/patches/345-minstrel_sampling.patch | 36 ++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) (limited to 'package/madwifi') diff --git a/package/madwifi/patches/345-minstrel_sampling.patch b/package/madwifi/patches/345-minstrel_sampling.patch index ea4c25f3a..3be5a8fee 100644 --- a/package/madwifi/patches/345-minstrel_sampling.patch +++ b/package/madwifi/patches/345-minstrel_sampling.patch @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ Index: madwifi-trunk-r3314/ath/if_ath.c =================================================================== ---- madwifi-trunk-r3314.orig/ath/if_ath.c 2008-04-21 02:44:23.000000000 +0200 -+++ madwifi-trunk-r3314/ath/if_ath.c 2008-04-21 03:33:02.000000000 +0200 +--- madwifi-trunk-r3314.orig/ath/if_ath.c 2008-04-21 09:13:19.000000000 +0200 ++++ madwifi-trunk-r3314/ath/if_ath.c 2008-04-23 01:15:49.000000000 +0200 @@ -8095,6 +8095,7 @@ ath_hal_setupxtxdesc(sc->sc_ah, ds, mrr.rate1, mrr.retries1, mrr.rate2, mrr.retries2, @@ -12,8 +12,8 @@ Index: madwifi-trunk-r3314/ath/if_ath.c #ifndef ATH_SUPERG_FF Index: madwifi-trunk-r3314/ath/if_athvar.h =================================================================== ---- madwifi-trunk-r3314.orig/ath/if_athvar.h 2008-04-21 00:50:13.000000000 +0200 -+++ madwifi-trunk-r3314/ath/if_athvar.h 2008-04-21 03:31:48.000000000 +0200 +--- madwifi-trunk-r3314.orig/ath/if_athvar.h 2008-04-21 09:13:19.000000000 +0200 ++++ madwifi-trunk-r3314/ath/if_athvar.h 2008-04-23 01:15:49.000000000 +0200 @@ -446,6 +446,7 @@ u_int16_t bf_flags; /* tx descriptor flags */ u_int64_t bf_tsf; @@ -24,18 +24,30 @@ Index: madwifi-trunk-r3314/ath/if_athvar.h * multiple segments.
