This switches ath9k over to using the mac80211 intermediate software
queueing mechanism for data packets. It removes the queueing inside the
driver, except for the retry queue, and instead pulls from mac80211 when
a packet is needed. The retry queue is used to store a packet that was
pulled but can't be sent immediately.
The old code path in ath_tx_start that would queue packets has been
removed completely, as has the qlen limit tunables (since there's no
longer a queue in the driver to limit).
Based on Tim's original patch set, but reworked quite thoroughly.

Nice work.
Thanks :)
Because this is such a significant change, and to maximise testing
time, I'm planning to queue this for 4.9 (so I would apply this to
ath-next in 3-4 weeks after the merge window closes). But anyone who
wants to test this can use master-pending branch from my ath.git tree
(uses wireless-testing as the baseline). Sounds good?
Sounds good to me. I'm planning on backporting this and Michael's
mac80211 FQ-CoDel patches to 4.4 and post them for inclusion in LEDE.
Hopefully that will get it some more testing as well.
I've pushed a backport of this into my LEDE staging tree:
https://git.lede-project.org/?p=lede/nbd/staging.git;a=summary
Awesome! What about the FQ-CoDel mac80211 patches themselves? I have a
tree where I've separated out the needed patches and rebased them on
mainline 4.4.9. Can I post that somewhere (or just email you the series)
and get you to include those as well? Or do I just dump the patch files
into the LEDE patches dir and send that as a patch to LEDE? (I see your
patch also refreshed subsequent patches; is there a script to do that
automatically?)
You don't need to do anything here. LEDE does not use mac80211 and
drivers from the kernel tree, it's built using backports.
It's currently using a backports snapshot that I built myself from
wireless-testing 2016-06-20, which already includes FQ-Codel.
