This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs and changes the interface between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling as follows: - The wake_tx_queue callback interface no longer includes the TXQ. Instead, the driver is expected to retrieve that from ieee80211_next_txq() - Two new mac80211 functions are added: ieee80211_next_txq() and ieee80211_schedule_txq(). The former returns the next TXQ that should be scheduled, and is how the driver gets a queue to pull packets from. The latter is called internally by mac80211 to start scheduling a queue, and the driver is supposed to call it to re-schedule the TXQ after it is finished pulling packets from it (unless the queue emptied). The ath9k and ath10k drivers are changed to use the new API. Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
