[PATCH v3] mac80211: mesh: set tx_info->hw_queue to the correct queue upon packet forwarding

From: Yaniv Machani
Date: Mon Aug 08 2016 - 03:00:10 EST


From: Meirav Kama <meiravk@xxxxxx>

MP received data frames from another MP. Frames are forwarded
from Rx to Tx to be transmitted to a third MP.
Upon cloning the skb, the tx_info was zeroed, and the
hw_queue wasn't set correctly, causing frames to be
inserted to queue 0 (VOICE). If re-queue occurred for some
reason, frame will be inserted to correct queue 2 (BE).
In this case frames are now dequeued from 2 different queues and
sent out of order.
