From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name>

Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: switch airtime fairness back to deficit round-robin
 scheduling

This reverts commits 6a789ba679d652587532cec2a0e0274fda172f3b and
2433647bc8d983a543e7d31b41ca2de1c7e2c198.

The virtual time scheduler code has a number of issues:
- queues slowed down by hardware/firmware powersave handling were not properly
  handled.
- on ath10k in push-pull mode, tx queues that the driver tries to pull from
  were starved, causing excessive latency
- delay between tx enqueue and reported airtime use were causing excessively
  bursty tx behavior

The bursty behavior may also be present on the round-robin scheduler, but there
it is much easier to fix without introducing additional regressions

-/* A problem when trying to enforce airtime fairness is that we want to divide
- * the airtime between the currently *active* stations. However, basing this on
- * the instantaneous queue state of stations doesn't work, as queues tend to
- * oscillate very quickly between empty and occupied, leading to the scheduler
- * thinking only a single station is active when deciding whether to allow
- * transmission (and thus not throttling correctly).
- *
- * To fix this we use a timer-based notion of activity: a station is considered
- * active if it has been scheduled within the last 100 ms; we keep a separate
- * list of all the stations considered active in this manner, and lazily update
- * the total weight of active stations from this list (filtering the stations in
- * the list by their 'last active' time).
- *
- * We add one additional safeguard to guard against stations that manage to get
- * scheduled every 100 ms but don't transmit a lot of data, and thus don't use
- * up any airtime. Such stations would be able to get priority for an extended
- * period of time if they do start transmitting at full capacity again, and so
- * we add an explicit maximum for how far behind a station is allowed to fall in
- * the virtual airtime domain. This limit is set to a relatively high value of
