+Subject: rt2800usb: slow down TX status polling
+
+From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>
+
+commit 36165fd5b00bf8163f89c21bb16a3e9834555b10 upstream.
+
+Polling TX statuses too frequently has two negative effects. First is
+randomly peek CPU usage, causing overall system functioning delays.
+Second bad effect is that device is not able to fill TX statuses in
+H/W register on some workloads and we get lot of timeouts like below:
+
+ieee80211 phy4: rt2800usb_entry_txstatus_timeout: Warning - TX status timeout for entry 7 in queue 2
+ieee80211 phy4: rt2800usb_entry_txstatus_timeout: Warning - TX status timeout for entry 7 in queue 2
+ieee80211 phy4: rt2800usb_txdone: Warning - Got TX status for an empty queue 2, dropping
+
+This not only cause flood of messages in dmesg, but also bad throughput,
+since rate scaling algorithm can not work optimally.
+
+In the future, we should probably make polling interval be adjusted
+automatically, but for now just increase values, this make mentioned
+problems gone.
