mac80211: allow non-standard VHT MCS-10/11
Some AP can possibly try non-standard VHT rate and mac80211 warns and drops packets, and leads low TCP throughput. Rate marked as a VHT rate but data is invalid: MCS: 10, NSS: 2 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 7817 at net/mac80211/rx.c:4856 ieee80211_rx_list+0x223/0x2f0 [mac8021 Since commit c27aa56a72b8 ("cfg80211: add VHT rate entries for MCS-10 and MCS-11") has added, mac80211 adds this support as well. After this patch, throughput is good and iw can get the bitrate: rx bitrate: 975.1 MBit/s VHT-MCS 10 80MHz short GI VHT-NSS 2 or rx bitrate: 1083.3 MBit/s VHT-MCS 11 80MHz short GI VHT-NSS 2 Buglink: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192891 Reported-by: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Ping-Ke Shih <pkshih@realtek.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220103013623.17052-1-pkshih@realtek.com Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
