[Make-wifi-fast] [PATCH v5 6/6] ath10k: reporting estimated tx airtime for fairness

Rajkumar Manoharan rmanohar at codeaurora.org
Tue Dec 18 20:02:11 EST 2018


From: Kan Yan <kyan at google.com>

Transmit airtime will be estimated from last tx rate used.
Firmware report tx rate by peer stats. Airtime is computed
on tx path and the same will be reported to mac80211 upon
tx completion.

This change is based on Kan's orginal commit in Chromium tree
("CHROMIUM: ath10k: Implementing airtime fairness based TX scheduler")
ref: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/588190
