It's supposed to be an estimation of the probability of a frame
transmission failure. The magic numbers just express the formula

fail_avg = (8 * old_fail_avg + 1 * fail_avg) / 9

a simple smoothing, there is nothing special to the exact numbers.

If you think err_avg is a good candidate (is it also 0-100?) I'd be
happy to use that instead.

That seems... misplaced.

Why no scanning on mesh interfaces?

I already commented on the raciness of this.

In short: no, it's not 0-100. And probably it's not what you expect it to
be. But you may consider to use it.

Boring explanation: in the algorithm, we define the error(T), which is a
function of time T (jiffies in the code), as the difference between the
failed frames rate f (pf) and a given value we use to call "target", t
(target_pf), at some time T.

Currently, t can be set through debugfs only, but it's meant to be tunable
by iw (the mac80211-ish replacement for wireless-tools) in a near future.
Other parameters will be tunable, such as s (>> smoothing_shift), which
stands for "smoothing".

Hence, err_avg is an exponential moving average of error(T), such that:
err_avg = error(T - 1) / s + ... + error(T - n) / (s * n).

Now, I'm not sure about what you need for mesh networks, but from this
algorithm you can quickly and cheaply get a proportional, integral or
derivative error ("error" as in difference between the failed frame rate and
the allowance for packet loss) or even get them all. The first one is just
linearly based upon the current behaviour, the second is about weighed
behaviour in the past, and the third emphasizes the current trend. We
actually use them all to adjust rates we use in "regular" 802.11 networks,
so I think they may suit your needs as well. If they don't, I'm fine with
this fail_avg thing you introduced.

? That's actually allowing mesh interfaces to scan.

Why? pf and tx_num_xmit (which is checked in an if leading to this
lines) are modified between this point and where you want to move the
code. If it is necessary I can add a 'broken link' flag to execute
mesh_plink_broken later.

I think by now I will keep using fail_avg, but if you figure out a
better way to compute a meaningful value please feel free to modify it.
What we need is the probability (value between 0 and 1, now using
integers from 0 to 100 to represent it) that a frame sent in the near
future to this station will fail and will have to be retransmitted.

D'oh. Yeah I'm confused here, sorry, was probably reading too quickly.

I'd like to have this moved, maybe right before this:

What do you need fail_avg for? Please note that we have better estimates of
the frame failure trends (e.g., err_avg). What these magic values are?
