Is codel running only for latest backports? Are there any openwrt changes to configure codel? Can you plz try to reset master branch to older commit and validate? -Rajkumar ________________________________________ From: Roman Yeryomin [leroi.lists@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, April 8, 2016 9:30 PM To: Manoharan, Rajkumar Cc: ath10k@lists.infradead.org; Rajkumar Manoharan Subject: Re: ath10k performance, master branch from 20160407 Rajkumar, I took backports from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/backports/backports.git, took latest ath tree from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath.git, generated backports-output based on ath master branch, refreshed openwrt patches. And saw big performance degradation. Am I doing something wrong? Regards, Roman On 8 April 2016 at 18:34, Manoharan, Rajkumar wrote: > Roman, > > Which backports version are you using?
