+Subject: [PATCH 15/17] iwlwifi: Recover TX flow failure
+
+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 BA_TIMEOUT_MAX, no tx packets can be delivered.
+Reloading the uCode and bring the system back to normal operational
+state.
