Linux kernel source tree
d2b0ca38d3
Currently for CCMP256, GCMP128 and GCMP256 ciphers, in ath11k_install_key()
IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV_MGMT is not set. And in ath11k_mac_mgmt_tx_wmi()
a length of IEEE80211_CCMP_MIC_LEN is reserved for all ciphers.
This results in unexpected management frame drop in case either of above 3 ciphers
is used. The reason is, without IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV_MGMT set, mac80211
will not generate CCMP/GCMP headers in frame for ath11k. Also MIC length reserved
is wrong. Such frame is dropped later by hardware:
ath11k_pci 0000:5a:00.0: mac tx mgmt frame, buf id 0
ath11k_pci 0000:5a:00.0: mgmt tx compl ev pdev_id 1, desc_id 0, status 1
From user point of view, we have observed very low throughput due to this issue:
action frames are all dropped so ADDBA response from DUT never reaches AP. AP
can not use aggregation thus throughput is low.
Fix this by setting IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV_MGMT flag and by reserving proper
MIC length for those ciphers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
