Compat-wireless-3.2-rc6-3 is broken for rt2860 device

Hello,

I tested compat-wireless-3.2-rc6-3 with kernel 3.1 and a rt2860 device
running in AP mode (80211.n - 40 MHz). During

netperf -t TCP_STREAM -H ap

the data stream mostly stalls (-> the device receives data) after a few
seconds and never comes up any more. The connection is completely death.
I have to restart wpa_supplicant to get it working again.



I tried to isolate the problem the following way:

1. Running compat-wireless-3.2-rc6-3 with the rt2x00 level from
compat-wireless-3.1.1-1. The problem didn't gone.

2. Running compat-wireless-3.1.1-1 with the rt2x00 based changes in
compat-wireless-3.2-rc6-3. I can't see the problem any more.


That's why I think, that the problem must be outside the rt2x00 changes.
But there are many changes outside :-).


So far, I removed the following patches from compat-wireless-3.2-rc6-3:

mac80211: fix race between the AGG SM and the Tx data path
mac80211: don't stop a single aggregation session twice
mac80211: uAPSD - fix IEEE80211_FCTL_MOREDATA bit setting
mac80211: fix race condition caused by late addBA response

But they seem not to be the culprit.


I tried to remove these patches, too, but this wasn't possible:

mac80211: don't stop a single aggregation session twice
mac80211: fix another race in aggregation start



Does anybody has an idea, which patch could have raised this problem?



Kind regards,
Andreas Hartmann
