This allows faster adaptation when the link changes + significantly +- MINSTREL_SAMPLE_TYPE_SLOW - test a rate between max_prob, max_tp2 and + max_tp in order to reduce the gap between them + +In order to prioritize sampling, every 6 attempts are split into 3x INC, +2x JUMP, 1x SLOW. + +Available rates are checked and refilled on every stats window update. + +With this approach, we finally get a very small delta in throughput when +comparing setting the optimal data rate as a fixed rate vs normal rate +control operation. + +Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau +--- + +--- a/net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel_ht.c ++++ b/net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel_ht.c +@@ -266,6 +266,14 @@ const struct mcs_group minstrel_mcs_grou + const s16 minstrel_cck_bitrates[4] = { 10, 20, 55, 110 };
