[RFC 2/3] mac80211: disable powersave if pm_qos asks for low latency

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

 



When an application asks for a latency lower than the beacon interval
there's nothing we can do -- we need to stay awake and not have the
AP buffer frames for us. Add code to automatically calculate this
constraint in mac80211 so drivers need not concern themselves with it.
