3 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: fix mesh airtime link metric estimating
5 ieee80211s_update_metric function uses sta_set_rate_info_tx
6 function to get struct rate_info data from ieee80211_tx_rate
7 struct, present in ieee80211_sta->deflink.tx_stats. However,
8 drivers can skip tx rate calculation by setting rate idx as
9 -1. Such drivers provides rate_info directly and hence
10 ieee80211s metric is updated incorrectly since ieee80211_tx_rate
11 has inconsistent data.
13 Add fix to use rate_info directly if present instead of
14 sta_set_rate_info_tx for updating ieee80211s metric.
