Sven Eckelmann cbca994bbd mac80211: reduce memory consumption of ath10k
ath10k uses a rather high number of buffers to communicate with the QCA
firmware. Especially the HTC (host-target-communication) and HTT
(host-target-transport) can take up a lot of memory when data is
transferred over a ath10k wifi link.

Even a 256MB device with three radios can go OOM (while sending to three
devices using UDP unicast/multicast packets) with the default buffer
limits. Unfortunately, this also reduced the maximum 5GHz throughput on an
IPQ40xx device from 494/432 Mbit/s for TCP transfers (download/upload) to
438/343 Mbit/s. These throughput values should still be good enough for a
Freifunk installation.

Issues & Feature requests

Before opening an issue, make sure to check whether any existing issues (open or closed) match. If you're suggesting a new feature, drop by on IRC or our mailinglist to discuss it first.

We maintain a Roadmap for the future development of Gluon.

Use a release!

Please refrain from using the master branch for anything else but development purposes! Use the most recent release instead. You can list all releases by running git tag and switch to one by running git checkout v2017.1.8 && make update.

If you're using the autoupdater, do not autoupdate nodes with anything but releases. If you upgrade using random master commits the nodes will break eventually.
