On some devices that only support static rate fallback tables sending rate control probing packets can be really expensive. Probing lower rates can already hurt throughput quite a bit. What hurts even more is the fact that on mt76x0/mt76x2, single probing packets can only be forced by directing packets at a different internal hardware queue, which causes some heavy reordering and extra latency. The reordering issue is mainly problematic while pushing lots of packets to a particular station. If there is little activity, the overhead of probing is neglegible. The static fallback behavior is designed to pretty much only handle rate control algorithms that use only a very limited set of rates on which the algorithm switches up/down based on packet error rate. In order to better support that kind of hardware, this patch implements a different approach to rate probing where it switches to a slightly higher rate, waits for tx status feedback, then updates the stats and switches back to the new max throughput rate. This only triggers above a packet rate of 100 per stats interval (~50ms). For that kind of probing, the code has to reduce the set of probing rates a lot more compared to single packet probing, so it uses only one packet per MCS group which is either slightly faster, or as close as possible to the max throughput rate. This allows switching between similar rates with different numbers of streams. The algorithm assumes that the hardware will work its way lower within an MCS group in case of retransmissions, so that lower rates don't have to be probed by the high packets per second rate probing code. To further reduce the search space, it also does not probe rates with lower channel bandwidth than the max throughput rate. At the moment, these changes will only affect mt76x0/mt76x2.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
