The current/old tx path design was that host, at
its own leisure, pushed tx frames to the device.
For HTT there was ~1000-1400 msdu queue depth.
After reaching that limit the driver would request
mac80211 to stop queues. There was little control
over what packets got in there as far as
DA/RA was considered so it was rather easy to
starve per-station traffic flows.
With MU-MIMO this became a significant problem
because the queue depth was insufficient to buffer
frames from multiple clients (which could have
different signal quality and capabilities) in an
efficient fashion.
Hence the new tx path in 10.4 was introduced: a
pull-push mode.
Firmware and host can share tx queue state via
DMA. The state is logically a 2 dimensional array
addressed via peer_id+tid pair. Each entry is a
counter (either number of bytes or packets. Host
keeps it updated and firmware uses it for
scheduling Tx pull requests to host.
This allows MU-MIMO to become a lot more effective
with 10+ clients.
