The variable ret is being assigned a value but it isn't being
read afterwards. The assignment is redundant and so ret can be
removed.

make htmldocs warns:
Documentation/driver-api/80211/mac80211:109: ./include/net/mac80211.h:5170: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at mac80211:1117.
Declaration is '.. c:function:: void ieee80211_tx_status (struct ieee80211_hw *hw, struct sk_buff *skb)'.
This is because there's a function named ieee80211_tx_status() and a struct named
ieee80211_tx_status. This has been discussed previously but no solution found:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220521114629.6ee9fc06@coco.lan/
There's also a bug open for three years with no solution in sight:
https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/pull/8313
So I guess we have no other solution than to a workaround this in the code,
for example to rename the function to ieee80211_tx_status_skb() to avoid the
name conflict. I got the idea for the name from ieee80211_tx_status_noskb() in
which the skb is not provided as an argument, instead with
ieee80211_tx_status_skb() the skb is provided.

When compiling with gcc 13.1 and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y,

In both cases, the compiler complains on:
memcpy(ba, &ts->ba_low, WME_BA_BMP_SIZE >> 3);
which is the legal way to copy both 'ba_low' and following 'ba_high'
members of 'struct ath_tx_status' at once (that is, issue one 8-byte
'memcpy()' for two 4-byte fields). Since the fortification logic seems
interprets this trick as an attempt to overread 4-byte 'ba_low', silence
relevant warnings by using the convenient 'struct_group()' quirk.

Fix incorrect usage of plain rate_idx as index into the max (power) per
rate lookup table.
For transmit power control (TPC), the ath9k driver maintains internal
tables (in struct ath_hw) to store the max allowed power level per rate.
They are used to limit a given TX-power according to regulatory and user
limits in the TX-path per packet. The tables are filled in a predefined
order, starting with values for CCK + OFDM rates and followed by the
values for MCS rates. Thus, the maximum power levels for MCS do not
start at index 0 in the table but are shifted by a fixed value.
The TX-power limiting in ath_get_rate_txpower currently does not apply
this shift, thus retrieves the incorrect maximum power level for a given
rate. In particular for MCS rates, the maximum power levels for CCK/OFDM
rates were used, e.g. maximum power for OFDM 0 was used for MCS 0. If
STBC is used, the power is mostly limited to 0 because the STBC table
is zeroed for legacy CCK/OFDM rates. Encountered this during testing of
our work-in-progress TPC per packet for ath9k.
This only has an effect when TPC is enabled in ath9k (tpc_enabled in
struct ath_hw) which defaults to false. In this case it has a
significant impact on the used TX-power, throughput + RSSI. Otherwise
the affected code is just skipped and TX-power is limited with the
hardware registers only. This patch fixes this table lookup.
Tested on OpenWrt (kernel 5.15.98, but backported ath9k driver) with
small desk setup using ath9k chips AR9280 and AR9580. Cap of TX-power is
working properly for all rates now, throughput and RSSI as expected,
equal to as if TPC was disabled.
Compile-tested with latest 6.3 kernel + allyesconfig.

Stop reading (and copying) from ieee80211_tx_rate to ath_tx_info.rates
after list end tag (count == 0, idx < 0), prevents copying of garbage
to card registers.
Note: no need to write to the remaining ath_tx_info.rates entries
as the complete ath_tx_info struct is already initialized to zero from

Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented
using sta_info datastructure with the associated
STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta
part of it.
With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added
in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically
with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level
communication can happen via different advertised
links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class,
BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link
STA parameters within a composite sta_info object
called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of
MLD STA are identified using the link address which can
be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique
link id based on the link vif.
To support extension of such a model, the sta_info
datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA
objects with link specific params currently within
sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is
done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed
within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial
driver changes are expected to support this.
For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA
is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink'
member.
For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to
get the correct link ID and access the correct part of
the station info.
Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly
via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers
indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id
being 0 for non MLO supported cases.
Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes
care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the
link STA info via deflink.

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.

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.

This patch changes mac80211 rate control for the ath9k driver. The rate lookup
per packet is changed from legacy usage of ieee80211_get_tx_rates() to the new
rate table based lookup in struct ieee80211_sta->rates.
The most recent rate control API, introduced with commit 0d528d85c519
("mac80211: improve the rate control API"), allows drivers to directly get
rates from ieee80211_sta->rates. This is not used by every driver yet, the
translation/merge is currently performed in ieee80211_get_tx_rates. This patch
changes the behaviour and avoids the call to ieee80211_get_tx_rates and
subsequent calls. ath9k now directly reads rates from sta->rates into its rate
table. Cause ath9k does not expect rate selection in SKB->CB, the table merge
does not consider rate array in SKB->CB except for the first entry (used for
probing).
Tested with a 8devices Rambutan with QCA9558 SoC by performing two runs, one
without the patch and one with. Generated traffic between AP and multiple STAs
in each run, measured throughput and captured rc_stats. Comparison of both
runs resulted in same rate selection and no performance loss or other negative
effects.

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.

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.
This should fix regression in:

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.

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.

Various documented examples on how to set up tx99 with ath9k rely
on setting up a regular monitor interface for setting the channel.
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.
This patch partially reverts the previous one, but keeps support for using
a regular monitor interface to keep documented steps working in cases
where the bitrate does not matter

Tx99 is typically configured via a monitor mode interface, which does
not get added to the driver as a vif. Since the code currently expects
a configured virtual interface for tx99, enabling tx99 via debugfs fails.
Since the vif is not needed anyway, remove all checks for it.

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.

ath_tx_count_airtime is doing a lot of unnecessary work:
- Redundant station lookup
- Redundant rcu_read_lock/unlock
- Useless memcpy of bf->rates
- Useless NULL check of bf->bf_mpdu
- Redundant lookup of the skb tid
Additionally, it tries to look up the mac80211 queue index from the txq,
which fails if the frame was delivered via the power save queue.
This patch fixes all of these issues by passing down the right set of
pointers instead of doing extra work

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.

The AR5416_VER_MASK macro does the same as get_eeprom_rev, except that
one has to know the actual EEPROM type (and providing a reference to
that in a variable named "eep"). Additionally the eeprom_*.c
implementations used the same shifting logic multiple times to get the
eeprom revision which was also unnecessary duplication of
get_eeprom_rev.
Also use the AR5416_EEP_VER_MINOR_MASK macro where needed and introduce
a similar macro (AR5416_EEP_VER_MAJOR_MASK) for the major version.
Finally drop AR9287_EEP_VER_MINOR_MASK since it simply duplicates the
already defined AR5416_EEP_VER_MINOR_MASK.

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

For non-aggregated frames, ath9k was leaving handling of powersave
filtered packets to mac80211. This can be too slow if the intermediate
queue is already filled with packets and mac80211 does not immediately
send a new packet via drv_tx().
Improve response time with filtered frames by triggering clearing the
powersave filter internally.

It removes the need for undoing the padding changes to skb->data and it
improves performance by eliminating one tx status lookup per MPDU in the
status path. It is also useful for preparing a follow-up fix to better
handle powersave filtering.
A side effect is that these counters, available via debugfs, become now invalid:
* dot11TransmittedFragmentCount
* dot11FrameDuplicateCount,
* dot11ReceivedFragmentCount
