Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: use coarse boottime for airtime fairness code
Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2021 12:42:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211217114258.14619-1-nbd@nbd.name> (raw)

The time values used by the airtime fairness code only need to be accurate
enough to cover station activity detection.
Using ktime_get_coarse_boottime_ns instead of ktime_get_boottime_ns will
drop the accuracy down to jiffies intervals, but at the same time saves
a lot of CPU cycles in a hot path
