+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix TXQ AC confusion
+
+Normally, TXQs have
+
+ txq->tid = tid;
+ txq->ac = ieee80211_ac_from_tid(tid);
+
+However, the special management TXQ actually has
+
+ txq->tid = IEEE80211_NUM_TIDS; // 16
+ txq->ac = IEEE80211_AC_VO;
+
+This makes sense, but ieee80211_ac_from_tid(16) is the same
+as ieee80211_ac_from_tid(0) which is just IEEE80211_AC_BE.
+
+Now, normally this is fine. However, if the netdev queues
+were stopped, then the code in ieee80211_tx_dequeue() will
+propagate the stop from the interface (vif->txqs_stopped[])
+if the AC 2 (ieee80211_ac_from_tid(txq->tid)) is marked as
+stopped. On wake, however, __ieee80211_wake_txqs() will wake
+the TXQ if AC 0 (txq->ac) is woken up.
+
+If a driver stops all queues with ieee80211_stop_tx_queues()
+and then wakes them again with ieee80211_wake_tx_queues(),
+the ieee80211_wake_txqs() tasklet will run to resync queue
+and TXQ state. If all queues were woken, then what'll happen
+is that _ieee80211_wake_txqs() will run in order of HW queues
+0-3, typically (and certainly for iwlwifi) corresponding to
+ACs 0-3, so it'll call __ieee80211_wake_txqs() for each AC in
+order 0-3.
+
+When __ieee80211_wake_txqs() is called for AC 0 (VO) that'll
+wake up the management TXQ (remember its tid is 16), and the
+driver's wake_tx_queue() will be called. That tries to get a
+frame, which will immediately *stop* the TXQ again, because
+now we check against AC 2, and AC 2 hasn't yet been marked as
+woken up again in sdata->vif.txqs_stopped[] since we're only
+in the __ieee80211_wake_txqs() call for AC 0.
+
+Thus, the management TXQ will never be started again.
+
+Fix this by checking txq->ac directly instead of calculating
+the AC as ieee80211_ac_from_tid(txq->tid).

+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: don't apply flow control on management frames
+
+In some cases (depending on the driver, but it's true e.g. for
+iwlwifi) we're using an internal TXQ for management packets,
+mostly to simplify the code and to have a place to queue them.
+However, it appears that in certain cases we can confuse the
+code and management frames are dropped, which is certainly not
+what we want.
+
+Short-circuit the processing of management frames. To keep the
+impact minimal, only put them on the frags queue and check the
+tid == management only for doing that and to skip the airtime
+fairness checks, if applicable.
