3Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: don't apply flow control on management frames
4
5In some cases (depending on the driver, but it's true e.g. for
6iwlwifi) we're using an internal TXQ for management packets,
7mostly to simplify the code and to have a place to queue them.
8However, it appears that in certain cases we can confuse the
9code and management frames are dropped, which is certainly not
10what we want.
11
12Short-circuit the processing of management frames. To keep the
13impact minimal, only put them on the frags queue and check the
14tid == management only for doing that and to skip the airtime
15fairness checks, if applicable.
