Subject: [PATCH 02/55] staging: wfx: fix case of lack of tx_retry_policies
Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2019 17:03:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191216170302.29543-3-Jerome.Pouiller@silabs.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191216170302.29543-1-Jerome.Pouiller@silabs.com>

From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@silabs.com>

In some rare cases, driver may not have any available tx_retry_policies.
In this case, the driver asks to mac80211 to stop sending data. However,
it seems that a race is possible and a few frames can be sent to the
driver. In this case, driver can't wait for free tx_retry_policies since
wfx_tx() must be atomic. So, this patch fix this case by sending these
frames with the special policy number 15.

The firmware normally use policy 15 to send internal frames (PS-poll,
beacons, etc...). So, it is not a so bad fallback.
