iwlwifi: mvm: fix frame drop from the reordering buffer
An earlier patch made sure that the queues are not lagging too far behind. This means that iwl_mvm_release_frames should not be called with a head_sn too far behind NSSN. Don't take the risk to change completely the entry condition to iwl_mvm_release_frames, but don't update the head_sn is the NSSN is more than 2048 packets ahead of us. Since this just cannot be right. This means that the scenario described here happened. We are queue 0. Q:0 Q:1 head_sn: 0 -> 2047 head_sn: 2048 Lots of packets arrive: head_sn: 2047 -> 2150 send NSSN_SYNC notification Handle notification from the firmware and do NOT move the head_sn back to 2048 Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
