ath10k kernel requirements (coherent_pool etc)

Good afternoon. We have been testing 3 x ath10k devices on a 4.14 based Linux kernel with a Cavium processor. Up to this point we have been seeing some unexplained crashes from the ath10k devices (firmware crashes due to corrupt HTC messages is the most common). We have tried various module and

[PATCH v2 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 v2 0/2] Change sk_pacing_shift in ieee80211_hw for best tx throughput

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 sk_pacing_shift

[PATCH v2 1/2] mac80211: Change sk_pacing_shift saved to ieee80211_hw

Add the skb_pacing_shift adjustment, 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 --- V2: -add the description for tx_sk_pacing_shift include/net/mac80211.h | 5 + net/mac80211/main.c| 2 ++
