Linville" Cc: Javier Cardona , Thomas Pedersen , devel@lists.open80211s.org, Johannes Berg , linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org, jlopex@gmail.com Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Stop forwarding mesh traffic when tx queues are full Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2011 13:05:33 -0700 Message-Id: <1314907533-27486-1-git-send-email-javier@cozybit.com> (sfid-20110901_220545_671217_B0445E6E) Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Tx flow control for non-mesh modes of operation only needs to act on the net device queues: when the hardware queues are full we stop accepting traffic from the net device. In mesh, however, we also need to stop forwarding traffic. This patch checks the hardware queues before attempting to forward a mesh frame.
