These patches propose a way to adjust the dynamic ps timeout in the mac80211
based on the pm-qos network latency value. This allows user space to influence
the level of power saving performed by the mac80211.
v4 of these patches change the way pm qos network latency ranges converted to
dynamic ps timeout values a little bit saner. Unlike the previous set of
patches, now the latancy values make sense in a wider scope than this
ps timeout thing only. I hope this makes them somewhat more future-proof.
As wext still has an interface to adjust the dynamic ps timeout from userspace,
the wext configuration will override the above, to remain backwards
compatible.
Comments are appreciated.
