+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: increase quantum for airtime scheduler
+
+Given the typical AQL budget and queue length, a quantum of 256 with the
+default station weight often requires iterating over all queues frequently,
+until one of them becomes eligible.
+Improve performance by using 8 times station weight as scheduler quantum
