-Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel_ht: improve sample rate skip logic
-
-There were a few issues that were slowing down the process of finding
-the optimal rate, especially on devices with multi-rate retry
-limitations:
-
-When max_tp_rate[0] was slower than max_tp_rate[1], the code did not
-sample max_tp_rate[1], which would often allow it to switch places with
-max_tp_rate[0] (e.g. if only the first sampling attempts were bad, but the
-rate is otherwise good).
-
-Also, sample attempts of rates between max_tp_rate[0] and [1] were being
-ignored in this case, because the code only checked if the rate was
-slower than [1].
-
-Fix this by checking against the fastest / second fastest max_tp_rate
-instead of assuming a specific order between the two.
-
-In my tests this patch significantly reduces the time until minstrel_ht
-finds the optimal rate right after assoc
