The recent changes of ath_tx_rc_status makes it to be called only for the first frame of aggregation or if there is a single subframe and for all normal frames. And also for all aggregated frames IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU will be set. This patch removes the unnecessary checks and make the ampdu_[ack]_len to be filled on both aggregation and normal frames.This patch looks wrong to me. Only one subframe per A-MPDU is supposed to carry the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag, so the check you removed from rc.c is actually necessary, otherwise it'll process the tx status of an A-MPDU multiple times (once per completed subframe).
I dont understand. Right now ath_tx_rc_status is called only for the first frame of aggregation or there is only one subframe in the aggregation. It never be called for all subframes. Am i right? -- Rajkumar
