From 2b4a66980217332d91ab1785e1750857d6d52bc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2019 12:00:58 +0100 Subject: mac80211: make ieee80211_schedule_txq schedule empty TXQs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Currently there is no way for the driver to signal to mac80211 that it should schedule a TXQ even if there are no packets on the mac80211 part of that queue. This is problematic if the driver has an internal retry queue to deal with software A-MPDU retry. This patch changes the behavior of ieee80211_schedule_txq to always schedule the queue, as its only user (ath9k) seems to expect such behavior already: it calls this function on tx status and on powersave wakeup whenever its internal retry queue is not empty. Also add an extra argument to ieee80211_return_txq to get the same behavior. This fixes an issue on ath9k where tx queues with packets to retry (and no new packets in mac80211) would not get serviced.
