+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix forwarded mesh frames AC & queue selection
+
+There are two problems with the current code that have been highlighted
+with the AQL feature that is now enbaled by default.
+
+First problem is in ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding(),
+ieee80211_select_queue_80211() is used on received packets to choose
+the sending AC queue of the forwarding packet although this function
+should only be called on TX packet (it uses ieee80211_tx_info).
+This ends with forwarded mesh packets been sent on unrelated random AC
+queue. To fix that, AC queue can directly be infered from skb->priority
+which has been extracted from QOS info (see ieee80211_parse_qos()).
+
+Second problem is the value of queue_mapping set on forwarded mesh
+frames via skb_set_queue_mapping() is not the AC of the packet but a
+hardware queue index. This may or may not work depending on AC to HW
+queue mapping which is driver specific.
+
+Both of these issues lead to improper AC selection while forwarding
+mesh packets but more importantly due to improper airtime accounting
+(which is done on a per STA, per AC basis) caused traffic stall with
+the introduction of AQL.
+
+Fixes: cf44012810cc ("mac80211: fix unnecessary frame drops in mesh fwding")
+Fixes: d3c1597b8d1b ("mac80211: fix forwarded mesh frame queue mapping")
