iwlwifi: Monitor and recover the aggregation TX flow failure
This change monitors the tx statistics to detect the drop in throughput.
When the throughput drops, the ratio of the actual_ack_count and the expected_
ack_count also drops. At the same time, the aggregated ba_timeout (the number
of ba timeout retries) also rises. If the actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count
ratio is 0 and the number of ba timeout retries rises to 16, no tx packets
(tcp, udp, or ping - icmp) can be delivered. The driver recovers from this
situation by reseting the uCode firmware. If the actual_ack_count/expected_
ack_count ratio drops below 50% (but not 0) and the aggregated ba_timeout
retries just exceed 5 (but not 16), then the driver can reset the radio to
bring the throughput up.
