As far as I know the make-wifi-fast work was done in stages. Something like: Phase 1: Reducing buffering all over the stack/drivers. Pretty sure atk10k got some of this Phase 2: Replace most/all txqueue stuff with fq_codel inside the driver. I know Toke made patches for ath10k, I don't know if upstream accepted them Phase 3: Air time fairness stuff. Only for ath9k, and I don't know if ath10k can ever get this since the chip firmware is basically a full operating system and it does whatever it wants too. NB: I'm just a user, not a dev. But I like WiFi things and try to keep informed. _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
