2022-04-20ath9k: Fix usage of driver-private space in tx_infoToke Høiland-Jørgensen1-10/+20
commit 5a6b06f5927c940fa44026695779c30b7536474c upstream. The ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status() helper also clears the rate counts and the driver-private part of struct ieee80211_tx_info, so using it breaks quite a few other things. So back out of using it, and instead define a ath-internal helper that only clears the area between the status_driver_data and the rates info. Combined with moving the ath_frame_info struct to status_driver_data, this avoids clearing anything we shouldn't be, and so we can keep the existing code for handling the rate information. While fixing this I also noticed that the setting of tx_info->status.rates[tx_rateindex].count on hardware underrun errors was always immediately overridden by the normal setting of the same fields, so rearrange the code so that the underrun detection actually takes effect. The new helper could be generalised to a 'memset_between()' helper, but leave it as a driver-internal helper for now since this needs to go to stable.

2022-04-20ath9k: Properly clear TX status area before reporting to mac80211Toke Høiland-Jørgensen1-3/+2
commit 037250f0a45cf9ecf5b52d4b9ff8eadeb609c800 upstream. The ath9k driver was not properly clearing the status area in the ieee80211_tx_info struct before reporting TX status to mac80211. Instead, it was manually filling in fields, which meant that fields introduced later were left as-is. Conveniently, mac80211 actually provides a helper to zero out the status area, so use that to make sure we zero everything. The last commit touching the driver function writing the status information seems to have actually been fixing an issue that was also caused by the area being uninitialised; but it only added clearing of a single field instead of the whole struct. That is now redundant, though, so revert that commit and use it as a convenient Fixes tag.

2021-02-18ath9k: fix transmitting to stations in dynamic SMPS modeFelix Fietkau1-0/+6
When transmitting to a receiver in dynamic SMPS mode, all transmissions that use multiple spatial streams need to be sent using CTS-to-self or RTS/CTS to give the receiver's extra chains some time to wake up. This fixes the tx rate getting stuck at <= MCS7 for some clients, especially Intel ones, which make aggressive use of SMPS.

2020-02-14mac80211: Fix setting txpower to zeroBen Greear1-2/+5
With multiple VIFS ath10k, and probably others, tries to find the minimum txpower for all vifs and uses that when setting txpower in the firmware. If a second vif is added and starts to scan, it's txpower is not initialized yet and it set to zero. ath10k had a patch to ignore zero values, but then it is impossible to actually set txpower to zero. So, instead initialize the txpower to INT_MIN in mac80211, and let drivers know that means the power has not been set and so should be ignored.

2019-04-29ath9k: Don't trust TX status TID number when reporting airtimeToke Høiland-Jørgensen1-3/+4
As already noted a comment in ath_tx_complete_aggr(), the hardware will occasionally send a TX status with the wrong tid number. If we trust the value, airtime usage will be reported to the wrong AC, which can cause the deficit on that AC to become very low, blocking subsequent attempts to transmit. To fix this, account airtime usage to the TID number from the original skb, instead of the one in the hardware TX status report.

2019-04-08mac80211: make ieee80211_schedule_txq schedule empty TXQsFelix Fietkau1-1/+4
Currently there is no way for the driver to signal to mac80211 that it should schedule a TXQ even if there are no packets on the mac80211 part of that queue. This is problematic if the driver has an internal retry queue to deal with software A-MPDU retry. This patch changes the behavior of ieee80211_schedule_txq to always schedule the queue, as its only user (ath9k) seems to expect such behavior already: it calls this function on tx status and on powersave wakeup whenever its internal retry queue is not empty. Also add an extra argument to ieee80211_return_txq to get the same behavior. This fixes an issue on ath9k where tx queues with packets to retry (and no new packets in mac80211) would not get serviced.

2018-10-02ath9k: add back support for using active monitor interfaces for tx99Felix Fietkau1-1/+1

My previous patch "ath9k: fix tx99 with monitor mode interface" made it possible to set it up this way again. However, it was removing support for using an active monitor interface, which is required for controlling the bitrate as well, since the bitrate is not passed down with a regular monitor interface.

2018-03-14ath9k: Protect queue draining by rcu_read_lock()Toke Høiland-Jørgensen1-0/+4
When ath9k was switched over to use the mac80211 intermediate queues, node cleanup now drains the mac80211 queues. However, this call path is not protected by rcu_read_lock() as it was previously entirely internal to the driver which uses its own locking. This leads to a possible rcu_dereference() without holding rcu_read_lock(); but only if a station is cleaned up while having packets queued on the TXQ. Fix this by adding the rcu_read_lock() to the caller in ath9k. Fixes: 50f08edf9809 ("ath9k: Switch to using mac80211 intermediate software queues.")

2016-12-15ath9k: Introduce airtime fairness scheduling between stationsToke Høiland-Jørgensen1-48/+129
This reworks the ath9k driver to schedule transmissions to connected stations in a way that enforces airtime fairness between them. It accomplishes this by measuring the time spent transmitting to or receiving from a station at TX and RX completion, and accounting this to a per-station, per-QoS level airtime deficit. Then, an FQ-CoDel based deficit scheduler is employed at packet dequeue time, to control which station gets the next transmission opportunity. Airtime fairness can significantly improve the efficiency of the network when station rates vary. The following throughput values are from a simple three-station test scenario, where two stations operate at the highest HT20 rate, and one station at the lowest, and the scheduler is employed at the access point: Before / After Fast station 1: 19.17 / 25.09 Mbps Fast station 2: 19.83 / 25.21 Mbps Slow station: 2.58 / 1.77 Mbps Total: 41.58 / 52.07 Mbps The benefit of airtime fairness goes up the more stations are present. In a 30-station test with one station artificially limited to 1 Mbps, we have seen aggregate throughput go from 2.14 to 17.76 Mbps.

2016-11-15ath9k: Switch to using mac80211 intermediate software queues.Toke Høiland-Jørgensen1-204/+134
This switches ath9k over to using the mac80211 intermediate software queueing mechanism for data packets. It removes the queueing inside the driver, except for the retry queue, and instead pulls from mac80211 when a packet is needed. The retry queue is used to store a packet that was pulled but can't be sent immediately. The old code path in ath_tx_start that would queue packets has been removed completely, as has the qlen limit tunables (since there's no longer a queue in the driver to limit). The mac80211 intermediate software queues offer significant latency reductions, and this patch allows ath9k to realise them. The exact gains from this varies with the test scenario, but in an access point scenario we have seen latency reductions ranging from 1/3 to as much as an order of magnitude. We also achieve slightly better aggregation. Median latency (ping) figures with this patch applied at the access point, with two high-rate stations and one low-rate station (HT20 5Ghz), running a Flent rtt_fair_var_up test with one TCP flow and one ping flow going to each station: Fast station Slow station Default pfifo_fast qdisc: 430.4 ms 638.7 ms fq_codel qdisc on iface: 35.5 ms 211.8 ms This patch set: 22.4 ms 38.2 ms Median aggregation sizes over the same test: Default pfifo_fast qdisc: 9.5 pkts 1.9 pkts fq_codel qdisc on iface: 11.2 pkts 1.9 pkts This patch set: 13.9 pkts 1.9 pkts This patch is based on Tim's original patch set, but reworked quite thoroughly.

A side effect is that these counters, available via debugfs, become now invalid: * dot11TransmittedFragmentCount * dot11FrameDuplicateCount, * dot11ReceivedFragmentCount * dot11MulticastReceivedFrameCount Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name> [kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com: add a note about counters, thanks to Zefir Kurtisi] Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>
2016-04-12cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_bandJohannes Berg1-2/+2
This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

While mac80211 using null frames when connection polling, we should queue this frames while NOA could be there, and AP, P2P_GO could be not present.

While compiling ath9k with some extra flags I've found that: ath9k/xmit.c +2473 ## 16: warning: restricted __le16 degrades to integer ath9k/xmit.c +2474 ## 36: warning: invalid assignment: &= ath9k/xmit.c +2474 ## 36: left side has type restricted __le16 ath9k/xmit.c +2474 ## 36: right side has type int There's no way for frame ftype/stype to be mistreated as the offending 'moredata' flag when considering cab queue.

2015-07-21ath9k: make DMA stop related messages debug-onlyFelix Fietkau1-2/+5
A long time ago, ath9k had issues during reset where the DMA engine would stay active and could potentially corrupt memory. To debug those issues, the driver would print warnings whenever they occur. Nowadays, these issues are gone and the primary cause of these messages is if the MAC is stuck during reset or busy processing a long transmission. This is fairly harmless, yet these messages continue to worry users. To reduce the number of bogus bug reports, turn these messages into debug messages and count their occurence in the "reset" debugfs file.

2014-10-08ath9k: Fix sequence number assignmentSujith Manoharan1-11/+23
Currently, ath9k uses a global counter for all frames that need to be assigned a sequence number. QoS-data frames are handled properly since they have a per-tid counter. But, beacons and other management frames use the same counter even if multiple interfaces or contexts are present.
