To fix that, AC queue can directly be infered from skb->priority +which has been extracted from QOS info (see ieee80211_parse_qos()). + +Second problem is the value of queue_mapping set on forwarded mesh +frames via skb_set_queue_mapping() is not the AC of the packet but a +hardware queue index. This may or may not work depending on AC to HW +queue mapping which is driver specific. + +Both of these issues lead to improper AC selection while forwarding +mesh packets but more importantly due to improper airtime accounting +(which is done on a per STA, per AC basis) caused traffic stall with +the introduction of AQL. + +Fixes: cf44012810cc ("mac80211: fix unnecessary frame drops in mesh fwding") +Fixes: d3c1597b8d1b ("mac80211: fix forwarded mesh frame queue mapping") +Co-developed-by: Remi Pommarel <repk@triplefau.lt> +Signed-off-by: Remi Pommarel <repk@triplefau.lt> +Signed-off-by: Nicolas Escande <nico.escande@gmail.com> +--- + +--- a/net/mac80211/rx.c ++++ b/net/mac80211/rx.c +@@ -2921,13 +2921,13 @@ ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding(struct ieee80 + ether_addr_equal(sdata->vif.addr, hdr->addr3)) + return RX_CONTINUE; + +- ac = ieee80211_select_queue_80211(sdata, skb, hdr); ++ ac = ieee802_1d_to_ac[skb->priority]; + q = sdata->vif.hw_queue[ac]; + if (ieee80211_queue_stopped(&local->hw, q)) { + IEEE80211_IFSTA_MESH_CTR_INC(ifmsh, dropped_frames_congestion); + return RX_DROP_MONITOR; + } +- skb_set_queue_mapping(skb, q); ++ skb_set_queue_mapping(skb, ac); + + if (!--mesh_hdr->ttl) { + if (!is_multicast_ether_addr(hdr->addr1)) |
