From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> In some cases (depending on the driver, but it's true e.g. for iwlwifi) we're using an internal TXQ for management packets, mostly to simplify the code and to have a place to queue them. However, it appears that in certain cases we can confuse the code and management frames are dropped, which is certainly not what we want. Short-circuit the processing of management frames. To keep the impact minimal, only put them on the frags queue and check the tid == management only for doing that and to skip the airtime fairness checks, if applicable.
