This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ath5k: fix regression in tx status processing to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 39b24125fc364ee636e0105071e6d048408981cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2013 21:18:48 +0200 Subject: ath5k: fix regression in tx status processing commit 7ede612fd615abcda0cc30e5bef2a70f4cf4f75c upstream. The regression was introduced in the following commit: 0967e01e8e713ed2982fb4eba8ba13794e9a6e89 "ath5k: make use of the new rate control API" ath5k_tx_frame_completed saves the intended per-rate retry counts before they are cleared by ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status, however at this point the information in info->status.rates is incomplete. This causes significant throughput degradation and excessive packet loss on links where high bit rates don't work properly. Move the copy from bf->rates a few lines up to ensure that the saved retry counts are updated, and that they are really cleared in info->status.rates after the call to ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status.
