Subject: mac80211: use coarse boottime for airtime fairness code
X-Git-Tag: v5.17-rc1~170^2~150^2~16
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6a789ba679d652587532cec2a0e0274fda172f3b;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

mac80211: use coarse boottime for airtime fairness code

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
