wifi: mac80211: remove sta_mtx

2023-09-11T09:27:22Z

We now hold the wiphy mutex everywhere that we use or needed the sta_mtx, so we don't need this mutex any more. Remove it. Most of this change was done automatically with spatch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: debugfs: lock wiphy instead of RTNL

2023-09-11T09:27:18Z

Since we no longer really use the RTNL, there's no point in locking it here. Most drivers don't really need to have any locks here anyway, and the rest are probably completely broken, but it's a debugfs-only callback so it really doesn't matter much. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: remove return value check of debugfs_create_dir()

2023-04-20T09:46:07Z

Smatch complains that: debugfs_hw_add() warn: 'statsd' is an error pointer or valid Debugfs checks are generally not supposed to be checked for errors and it is not necessary here.

wifi: mac80211: Drop support for TX push path

All drivers are now using mac80211 internal queues (iTXQs). Drop mac80211 internal support for the old push path. Signed-off-by: Alexander Wetzel Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: optionally implement MLO multicast TX

2022-07-22T12:28:36Z

For drivers using software encryption for multicast TX, such as mac80211_hwsim, mac80211 needs to duplicate the multicast frames on each link, if MLO is enabled. Do this, but don't just make it dependent on the key but provide a separate flag for drivers to opt out of this. This is not very efficient, I expect that drivers will do it in firmware/hardware or at least with DMA engine assistence, so this is mostly for hwsim. To make this work, also implement the SNS11 sequence number space that an AP MLD shall have, and modify the API to the __ieee80211_subif_start_xmit() function to always require the link ID bits to be set.

wifi: mac80211: add debugfs file to display per-phy AQL pending airtime

Now that the global pending airtime is more relevant for airtime fairness, it makes sense to make it accessible via debugfs for debugging Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Acked-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220625212411.36675-6-nbd@nbd.name Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

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

2022-07-01T08:51:41Z

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

mac80211: introduce BSS color collision detection

2022-04-11T13:24:15Z

Add ieee80211_rx_check_bss_color_collision routine in order to introduce BSS color collision detection in mac80211 if it is not supported in HW/FW (e.g. for mt7915 chipset). Add IEEE80211_HW_DETECTS_COLOR_COLLISION flag to let the driver notify BSS color collision detection is supported in HW/FW. Set this for ath11k which apparently didn't need this code.

mac80211: Switch to a virtual time-based airtime scheduler

2021-06-23T16:12:00Z

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.
