-Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: don't apply flow control on management frames
-
-In some cases (depending on the driver, but it's true e.g. for
-iwlwifi) we're using an internal TXQ for management packets,
-mostly to simplify the code and to have a place to queue them.
-However, it appears that in certain cases we can confuse the
-code and management frames are dropped, which is certainly not
-what we want.
-
-Short-circuit the processing of management frames. To keep the
-impact minimal, only put them on the frags queue and check the
-tid == management only for doing that and to skip the airtime
-fairness checks, if applicable.
