From 3ff23cd5654b9c8f4d567caa73439b4c39fbeaae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Toke=20H=C3=B8iland-J=C3=B8rgensen?= Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2016 21:59:11 +0200 Subject: mac80211: Set lower memory limit for non-VHT devices MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Small devices can run out of memory from queueing too many packets. If VHT is not supported by the PHY, having more than 4 MBytes of total queue in the TXQ intermediate queues is not needed, and so we can safely limit the memory usage in these cases and avoid OOM.
