Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath9k_htc: bound TX aggregation to MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 20:39:31 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831173931.1672-1-gck.kara@gmail.com> (raw)

__hif_usb_tx() dequeues up to MAX_TX_AGGR_NUM (20) frames into a single tx_buf of MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE (32768) bytes, limiting the batch by record count but never by cumulative byte length.

With large frames (MTU 2304), 20 aggregated frames of 2292 bytes each exceed the allocation (20 * 2296 = 45920 bytes), so the memcpy() in the loop writes up to 13152 bytes past tx_buf->buf before usb_submit_urb().

Peek the queue head and stop before copying any record that would cross MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE, then dispatch the current batch. Leftover skbs remain queued and are drained on the next URB completion.
