[PATCH 2/2] ath10k: Set sk_pacing_shift to 6 for 11AC WiFi chips

Upstream kernel has an interface to help adjust sk_pacing_shift to help improve TCP UL throughput. The sk_pacing_shift is 8 in mac80211, this is based on test with 11N WiFi chips with ath9k. For QCA6174/QCA9377 PCI 11AC chips, the 11AC VHT80 TCP UL throughput testing result shows 6 is the optimal.

[PATCH 1/2] mac80211: Save sk_pacing_shift to ieee80211_hw

Add the skb_pacing_shirt adjustment, but this change make it configurable for other driver. If no other driver set it, then mac8011 will use the default value. Signed-off-by: Wen Gong --- include/net/mac80211.h | 1 + net/mac80211/main.c| 2 ++ net/mac80211/tx.c | 2 +- 3 files

[PATCH 0/2] Change sk_pacing_shift in ieee80211_hw for best tx throughput

From: Wen Gong Add a field for ath10k to adjust the sk_pacing_shift, mac80211 set the default value to 8, and ath10k will change it to 6. Then mac80211 will use the changed value 6 as sk_pacing_shift since 6 is the best value for tx throughput by test result. Wen Gong (2): mac80211: Change

[PATCH v3 2/3] ath10k: Don't try un-supported idle_ps_config command.

From: Ben Greear The warning the the logs does not give user a clue as to what command is failing, so it is worth it to check for un-supported command before trying the call. And add return-code to survey error message. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear --- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/mac.c | 14

[PATCH v3 3/3] ath10k: Support survey dump for ath10k-ct 10.1 firmware.

From: Ben Greear Recent ath10k-ct 10.1 firmware supports survey results, and advertises the appropriate service flags. This confuses the ath10k driver because the 10.1 wmi commands are not set up for survey information. So, this patch adds support for handling survey information. Example

[PATCH v3 1/3] ath10k: Add ath10k-ct firmware feature flags and descriptions.

From: Ben Greear These feature flags are used by ath10k-ct firmware. Add these so we can use them in future patches and so there are no warnings about feature flags on loading ath10k-ct firmware. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear --- No significant changes since v2 (though I rebased against latest

ath10k: 160MHz/80+80 radar detect with Wave2 cards

Hi, as we know, some wave2 cards support 160MHz (with some limitations). This also requires support for radar detection with 160MHz/80+80 or otherwise cfg80211 will reject this setting. I would like to propose following change but I am unsure whether it actually works correctly on this
