From 3eb0928fc3e4b4702462164b399acddb7f0f09fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Manoharan, Rajkumar" Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2017 12:27:16 -0800 Subject: mac80211: use DECLARE_EWMA for mesh_fail_avg As moving average is not considering fractional part, it will get stuck at the same level after certain state. For example, with current values, it can get stuck at 96. Fortunately the current threshold 95%, but if it were increased to 96 or more mesh paths would never be deactivated. Fix failure average movement by using EWMA helpers, which does take into account fractional parts.
