Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2021 16:07:49 -0700 Message-Id: <20210330230749.14097-1-greearb@candelatech.com> X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.20.1 MIME-Version: 1.0 Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org From: Ben Greear This fixes commit: mac80211: optimize station connection monitor which came in in the 5.10 kernel. This incorrect timeout check caused probing to happen when it did not need to happen. This in turn caused tx performance drop for around 5 seconds in ath10k-ct driver. Possibly that tx drop is due to a secondary issue, but fixing the probe to not happen when traffic is running fixes the symptom.
