[PATCH 0/6] Move TXQ scheduling and airtime fairness into mac80211

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

 



Toke,

It is been a while since mac80211 TXQ discussion started. Here is the consolidated
series of mac80211, ath9k and ath10k changes to move TXQ scheduling and airtime
fairness into mac80211. The major changes w.r.t 5th RFC version are in may_transmit()
API. Whenever the driver checks deficit for given TXQ, the list will be
reordered so that driver/firmware RR quickly becomes in sync with mac80211
list. Also airtime tasklet approach cumbersome and causing regression
in multi client performance.

- Removed airtime kickout tasklet

- Reworked on ieee80211_txq_may_transmit() API

- Provided option to configure driver specific default airtime. 

- Bundled ath10k changes along with this series.
