[PATCH v2] mac80211: expose txq queue depth and size to drivers

From: Michal Kazior <hidden>
Date: 2016-01-27 14:25:10
Subsystem: mac80211, the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

This will allow drivers to make more educated
decisions whether to defer transmission or not.

Relying on wake_tx_queue() call count implicitly
was not possible because it could be called
without queued frame count actually changing on
software tx aggregation start/stop code paths.

It was also not possible to know how long
byte-wise queue was without dequeueing.

Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior <redacted>

Notes:
    v2:
     * export a dedicated API call to get both
       frame/byte counts to reduce redundancy and
       offer possible synchronized reads in the future [Felix]
