[PATCH] mac80211: fix mesh airtime link metric estimating

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

 



ieee80211s_update_metric function uses sta_set_rate_info_tx
function to get struct rate_info data from ieee80211_tx_rate
struct, present in ieee80211_sta->tx_stats. However, drivers
can skip tx rate calculation by setting rate idx as -1. Such
drivers provides rate_info directly and hence ieee80211s
metric is updated incorrectly since ieee80211_tx_rate has
inconsistent data.

Add fix to use rate_info directly if present instead of
sta_set_rate_info_tx for updating ieee80211s metric.
