> So this counter is per wiphy, not per vdev. Is that ok? Well, I think this should be okay. The counter depends on the point of view. Counting per wiphy and looking on the physical transmission it counts every incoming ampdu that was received by the physical wireless card. On the other hand, looking „down the network stack“ from the application layer, you may want a consistent ampdu reference number. I think doing the counting per wiphy should be okay, because it is still a virtual counter on the receivers site. Doing the counting per wiphy still allows to identify aggregated mpdu’s on the application layer, as you just search for mpdus with the same reference number. Additionally, counting per whipy enables you to get a feeling on the application layer, how much incoming load the wiphy has to handle at the moment. Considering this counter is only used for debugging and research, this additional information can be useful or if not, it does not change anything. > What about locking? How is this protected or doesn't it need anything? I don’t think locking is needed here since the counter is per wiphy and it is only incremented on the last mpdu of a ampdu. Additionally, locking is also not used in ath9k. Thanks!
