    mac80211: enhance readability of Minstrels rc_stats output · e161f7f6
    Thomas Huehn authored
    This patch restructures the rc_stats debugfs table of Minstrel in
    order to achieve better human readability. A new layout of the
    statistics and a new header is added. In addition to the old layout
    there are two new columns of information added:
    idx	- representing the rate index of each rate in mac80211 which
    	  can be used to set specific rates as fixed rate via debugfs
    airtime - the tx-time in micro seconds that a 1200 Byte packet
    	  takes to be transmitted over the air at the given rate
    
    The old layout of rc_stats:
    
        rate      tpt  eprob *prob ret  *ok(*cum)        ok(      cum)
     DP 1          0.9  93.5 100.0   1    0(   0)         2(        2)
        2          0.4  40.0 100.0   0    0(   0)         4(        10)
        5.5        0.0   0.0   0.0   0    0(   0)         0(        0)
    ...
    
    is changed into this new layout:
    
    best   _______rate_____    __statistics__    ________last_______    ______sum-of________
    rate  [name idx tx-time]  [ ø(tp) ø(prob)]  [prob.|retry|suc|att]  [#success | #attempts]
     DP   1     0     9738      0.9    93.5     100.0   1     1 1             2   2
          2     1     4922      0.4    40.0     100.0   1     0 0             4   10
          5.5   2     1858      0.0     0.0       0.0   2     0 0             0   0
