In AP mode with multiple clients, driver stops net queue (netif_tx_stop_queue) upon first ring (serving specific client) becoming full. This can have negative effect on transmission to other clients which may still have room in their corresponding rings. Implement new policy in which stop/wake net queue are not used. In case there is no room in the ring for a transmitted packet, drop the packet. New policy can be helpful to debug performance issues, to guarantee maximum utilization of net queues. New policy is disabled by default and can be enabled by debugfs: echo 1 > drop_if_ring_full Signed-off-by: Dedy Lansky <dlansky@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Maya Erez <merez@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
