+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: don't handle filtered frames within a BA session
+
+When running a BA session, the driver (or the hardware) already takes
+care of retransmitting failed frames, since it has to keep the receiver
+reorder window in sync.
+
+Adding another layer of retransmit around that does not improve
+anything. In fact, it can only lead to some strong reordering with huge
+latency.
