[Cerowrt-devel] openwrt freeze jan 1

[Dave Taht]

If you have any spare time this upcoming holiday to play with openwrt head....

I note that this is apparently not in there as yet:
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/aql-and-the-ath10k-is-lovely/59002

(and after much testing I settled on a 10ms target and found that
retries were really the next
big problem messing things up. Felix also found and fixed a few other
bugs related to aql). I am
hoping to clear some time myself to see where things stand.

Wait, the AQL changes for ath10k aren't in 19.07?  I'm seeing the
aqm/airtime fairness controls/stats, but don't know what to look for in
/sys/kernel to see if AQL is present (if it's visible there at all), or if
I'm going to have to run side-by-side tests...

Relatedly, the current 80211 queue setup is still using the 4 traffic-class
queues per station, correct?  Is there any way to turn that off without
building your own kernel?

(I recently upgraded my "main" AP to an Archer A7 v5 (ath10k), and moved
the WRT1900AC out to a place where it will see fewer simultaneous clients
(and inserted a dedicated router for WAN, but that's a separate thread).

Look for aql* files in debugfs :)

Running HEAD as of 2-3 days ago on a WRT1200AC.  Seems to mostly behave.  My
current interest is getting the LED's and triggers sorted out - I'm pretty sure
that the ones that aren't working are simply a screw-up in the .dts pointing
them at the wrong places - we know the hardware is there and works with 
Linksys firmware, so it's just a matter of configuration.

(Is anybody else working on this? I'd hate to be re-inventing the wheel.. :)
