Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: exclude multicast packets from AQL pending airtime
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In AP mode, multicast traffic is handled very differently from normal traffic,
|
||||||
|
especially if at least one client is in powersave mode.
|
||||||
|
This means that multicast packets can be buffered a lot longer than normal
|
||||||
|
unicast packets, and can eat up the AQL budget very quickly because of the low
|
||||||
|
data rate.
|
||||||
|
Along with the recent change to maintain a global PHY AQL limit, this can lead
|
||||||
|
to significant latency spikes for unicast traffic.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since queueing multicast to hardware is currently not constrained by AQL limits
|
||||||
|
anyway, let's just exclude it from the AQL pending airtime calculation entirely.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
