[RFC 3/3] mac80211: add ieee80211_reorder_txq

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This allows the driver to refill airtime fairness deficit
where the driver will not access txqs by ieee80211_next_txq.
In tx push mode data path, high priority txqs will be scheduled
for data transmission by ieee80211_next_txq and driver will not
prioritize txqs whereas in push-pull mode, the drivers can
prioritize txqs and access them directly. In such mode, airtime
deficit can not filled by ieee80211_next_txq.
