From 6bc8312f95f982c0a6f26e87d0a6c299a697ed53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karl Beldan Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 17:09:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: VHT off-by-one NSS The number of VHT spatial streams (NSS) is found in: - s8 ieee80211_tx_rate.rate.idx[6:4] (tx - filled by rate control) - u8 ieee80211_rx_status.vht_nss (rx - filled by driver) Tx discriminates valid rates indexes with the sign bit and encodes NSS starting from 0 to 7 (note this matches some hw encodings e.g IWLMVM). Rx does not have the same constraints, and encodes NSS starting from 1 to 8 (note this matches what wireshark expects in the radiotap header). To handle ieee80211_tx_rate.rate.idx[6:4] ieee80211_rate_set_vht() and ieee80211_rate_get_vht_nss() assume their nss parameter and return value respectively runs from 0 to 7. ATM, there are only 2 users of these: cfg.c:sta_set_rate_info_t() and iwlwifi/mvm/tx.c:iwl_mvm_hwrate_to_tx_control(), but both assume nss runs from 1 to 8. This patch fixes this inconsistency by making ieee80211_rate_set_vht() and ieee80211_rate_get_vht_nss() handle an nss running from 1 to 8.
