Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: make ieee80211_schedule_txq schedule empty TXQs
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Currently there is no way for the driver to signal to mac80211 that it should
 | 
						|
schedule a TXQ even if there are no packets on the mac80211 part of that queue.
 | 
						|
This is problematic if the driver has an internal retry queue to deal with
 | 
						|
software A-MPDU retry.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This patch changes the behavior of ieee80211_schedule_txq to always schedule
 | 
						|
the queue, as its only user (ath9k) seems to expect such behavior already:
 | 
						|
it calls this function on tx status and on powersave wakeup whenever its
 | 
						|
internal retry queue is not empty.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Also add an extra argument to ieee80211_return_txq to get the same behavior.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This fixes an issue on ath9k where tx queues with packets to retry (and no
 | 
						|
new packets in mac80211) would not get serviced.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Fixes: 89cea7493a346 ("ath9k: Switch to mac80211 TXQ scheduling and airtime APIs")
