wifi: mac80211: RCU-ify link/link_conf pointers

2022-07-15T09:43:14+00:00

Since links can be added and removed dynamically, we need to somehow protect the sdata->link[] and vif->link_conf[] array pointers from disappearing when accessing them without locks. RCU-ify the pointers to achieve this, which requires quite a bit of rework. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: switch airtime fairness back to deficit round-robin scheduling

2022-07-01T08:51:41+00:00

This reverts commits 6a789ba679d652587532cec2a0e0274fda172f3b and 2433647bc8d983a543e7d31b41ca2de1c7e2c198. The virtual time scheduler code has a number of issues: - queues slowed down by hardware/firmware powersave handling were not properly handled. - on ath10k in push-pull mode, tx queues that the driver tries to pull from were starved, causing excessive latency - delay between tx enqueue and reported airtime use were causing excessively bursty tx behavior The bursty behavior may also be present on the round-robin scheduler, but there it is much easier to fix without introducing additional regressions Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Acked-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220625212411.36675-1-nbd@nbd.name Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: make some SMPS code MLD-aware

2022-06-20T10:55:30+00:00

Start making some SMPS related code MLD-aware. This isn't really done yet, but again cuts down our 'deflink' reliance. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: reorg some iface data structs for MLD

2022-06-20T10:55:06+00:00

Start reorganizing interface related data structures toward MLD. The most complex part here is for the keys, since we have to split the various kinds of GTKs off to the link but still need to use (for WEP) the other keys as a fallback even for multicast frames. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: move interface config to new struct

2022-06-20T10:55:03+00:00

We'll use bss_conf for per-link configuration later, so move out all the non-link-specific data out into a new struct ieee80211_vif_cfg used in the vif. Some adjustments were done with the following spatch: @@ expression sdata; struct ieee80211_vif *vifp; identifier var = { assoc, ibss_joined, aid, arp_addr_list, arp_addr_cnt, ssid, ssid_len, s1g, ibss_creator }; @@ ( -sdata->vif.bss_conf.var +sdata->vif.cfg.var | -vifp->bss_conf.var +vifp->cfg.var ) @bss_conf@ struct ieee80211_bss_conf *bss_conf; identifier var = { assoc, ibss_joined, aid, arp_addr_list, arp_addr_cnt, ssid, ssid_len, s1g, ibss_creator }; @@ -bss_conf->var +vif_cfg->var (though more manual fixups were needed, e.g. replacing "vif_cfg->" by "vif->cfg." in many files.)

mac80211: use ifmgd->bssid instead of ifmgd->associated->bssid

2022-05-16T07:13:22+00:00

Since we always track the BSSID there when we get associated, these are equivalent, but ifmgd->bssid saves a dereference and thus makes the code a bit smaller, and more readable. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: remove unused macros

2022-02-04T15:26:27+00:00

Various macros in mac80211 aren't used, remove them. In one case it's used under ifdef, so ifdef it for the W=2 warning.

mac80211: Switch to a virtual time-based airtime scheduler

2021-06-23T16:12:00+00:00

This switches the airtime scheduler in mac80211 to use a virtual time-based scheduler instead of the round-robin scheduler used before. This has a couple of advantages: - No need to sync up the round-robin scheduler in firmware/hardware with the round-robin airtime scheduler. - If several stations are eligible for transmission we can schedule both of them; no need to hard-block the scheduling rotation until the head of the queue has used up its quantum. - The check of whether a station is eligible for transmission becomes simpler (in ieee80211_txq_may_transmit()). The drawback is that scheduling becomes slightly more expensive, as we need to maintain an rbtree of TXQs sorted by virtual time. This means that ieee80211_register_airtime() becomes O(logN) in the number of currently scheduled TXQs because it can change the order of the scheduled stations. We mitigate this overhead by only resorting when a station changes position in the tree, and hopefully N rarely grows too big (it's only TXQs currently backlogged, not all associated stations), so it shouldn't be too big of an issue. To prevent divisions in the fast path, we maintain both station sums and pre-computed reciprocals of the sums. This turns the fast-path operation into a multiplication, with divisions only happening as the number of active stations change (to re-compute the current sum of all active station weights). To prevent this re-computation of the reciprocal from happening too frequently, we use a time-based notion of station activity, instead of updating the weight every time a station gets scheduled or de-scheduled. As queues can oscillate between empty and occupied quite frequently, this can significantly cut down on the number of re-computations. It also has the added benefit of making the station airtime calculation independent on whether the queue happened to have drained at the time an airtime value was accounted.

mac80211: Remove redundant assignment to ret

2021-06-23T08:57:55+00:00

Variable 'ret' is set to -ENODEV but this value is never read as it is overwritten with a new value later on, hence it is a redundant assignment and can be removed.
