    iwlwifi: mvm: add reorder timeout per frame · 0690405f
    Sara Sharon authored
    Add a timer in order to release expired frames from the
    reorder buffer.
    This is needed since some APs do not retransmit frames
    to fill in the reorder holes and in TCP it results with
    a complete stall of traffic.
    
    This has a few side effects on the general design:
    
    The nssn may not reflect the the head of the reorder buffer.
    This situation is valid, and packets with SN lower than the
    reorder buffer head will be dropped.
    
    Another side effect is that since the reorder timer might expire
    we need to lock the reorder buffer.
    This however is fine since the locking is only inside a
    single reorder buffer between RX path and reorder timeout and
    there is no outside contention.
