[RFTv2 0/5] ath10k: ath10k: fix flushing and tx stalls

[Michal Kazior]

Hi,

After digging around I've found what seems to be
the problem with WMI Tx credit starvation and
inability to properly flush Tx in ath10k_flush().

Long story short: if a client that was asleep (as
per what firmware thinks) goes out of range (or
just stops responding) then Tx rots in FW/HW
queues for a few seconds before it's discarded.
For WMI Tx credits this means management frames
eat up Tx credits for a few seconds (causing other
WMI commands to timeout and return -EAGAIN/-11).
For HTT Tx this means NullFunc frames would get
stuck for a few seconds before completion was
received.

v2:
 * added tx replenishment patch
 * added conf_mutex locking
 * change condition for flushing mgmt tx


Michal Kazior (5):
  ath10k: always request htc tx replenishment
  ath10k: fix wmi-htc tx credit starvation
  ath10k: rework peer accounting
  ath10k: wait for mgmt tx when flushing too
  ath10k: improve tx flushing
