No wake_tx_queue? :(
Yes, packet queueing is handled in firmware. This makes sense
especially when we enable 802.11 encap offload support where most of
the data path processing in mac80211 will be skipped and packet is
given to driver/firmware in 802.3 format itself. Then firmware would
take care of all the classification, queueing and encapsulation
operations.
Well, so does ath10k, and yet we still saw a significant improvement by
moving queueing back into the host where it can be handled by the
FQ-CoDel-enabled queueing structure.
Sure, we could probably try that with ath11k as well at some point when
we have a baseline with HE support.
