Queueing a per-sta work item from the tx free path can become very expensive under load. This work is only supposed to pull rate control stats every second and deal with rate control changes. Additionally, the rate control update code was wrong, because it was confusing bit masks and bit numbers in test_bit. Fix this by introducing a dedicated device work item for rate control updates, and by polling station stats from the phy mac work. Stations requiring polling or rate control updates are added to lists protected by dev->sta_poll_lock. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name>
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.
