Series [1/7] mac80211: switch airtime fairness back to deficit round-robin scheduling | expand

Commit Message

Felix Fietkau June 25, 2022, 9:24 p.m. UTC 
When a client does not generate any local tx activity, accumulating airtime
deficit for the round-robin scheduler can be harmful. If this goes on for too
long, the deficit could grow quite large, which might cause unreasonable
initial latency once the client becomes active
