[Make-wifi-fast] [PATCHv3 0/5] mac80211: implement fq_codel

[Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com>]

Hi,

This patchset disables qdiscs for drivers
using software queuing and performs fq_codel-like
dequeuing on txqs.

I've reworked it as per Avery's suggestion (and
more).

I've (re)tested it against ath10k with and without
DQL (my ath10k RFC which is limited but sufficient
for some proofing scenarios) and got quite nice
looking results:

All DQL cases show incremental improvement and are
within expectations. The "dql-fq" case loses TCP
fairness/convergence (compared to "dql-taildrop")
because it removes per-txq 64 packet limit and
"dql-fqcodel" gets it back.


v3:
 * split taildrop, fq and codel functionalities
   into separate patches [Avery]

v2:
 * fix invalid ptr deref
 * fix compilation for backports
