+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel_ht: fix sample time check
+
+We need to skip sampling if the next sample time is after jiffies, not before.
+This patch fixes an issue where in some cases only very little sampling (or none
+at all) is performed, leading to really bad data rates
+
+Fixes: 80d55154b2f8 ("mac80211: minstrel_ht: significantly redesign the rate probing strategy")
