Subject: [Make-wifi-fast] [PATCH RFC/RFT 0/4] Add Airtime Queue Limits (AQL) to mac80211
Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2019 14:22:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <156889576422.191202.5906619710809654631.stgit@alrua-x1> (raw)

This series is a first attempt at porting the Airtime Queue Limits concept from
the out-of-tree ath10k implementation[0] to mac80211. I limited the scope of
this RFC to ath10k, but it should be straight forward to enable other drivers
(they just need to provide a last TX bitrate).

Unfortunately I don't currently have access to hardware to test this, so I'm
posting it here in the hope that someone else will take it for a spin. Do note
that this means that the series is completely untested (although it should
compile :)).

Also note that the series does make a couple of assumptions, as explained in the
individual patches. In particular, it relies on fields surviving in
ieee80211_tx_info; Johannes, care to comment on whether this is a valid
assumption (and whether you're OK with what I'm doing to that struct in the
first patch)?

The series is also available in my git repo here:
