    mac80211: optimize aggregation session timeout handling · 12d3952f
    Felix Fietkau 提交于
    Calling mod_timer from the rx/tx hotpath is somewhat expensive, and the
    timeout doesn't need to be so precise.
    
    Switch to a different strategy: Schedule the timer initially, store jiffies
    of all last rx/tx activity which would previously modify the timer, and
    let the timer re-arm itself after checking the last rx/tx timestamp.
    Make the session timers deferrable to avoid causing extra wakeups on systems
    running on battery.
    This visibly reduces CPU load under high network load on small embedded
    systems.
