[PATCH v2 00/10] wl12xx: AP-mode per link PSM

[PATCH v2 00/10] wl12xx: AP-mode per link PSM

[Arik Nemtsov]

This patchset introduces per-link PSM for AP-mode. The PS status of each
link is updated from FW.
The wl12xx concept of PSM is different from the mac80211 one - some data
must remain in FW for a link in PSM since the TIM is updated automatically
by FW. An exported function to manually toggle PSM in mac80211 is added
to bridge this gap.

We set up a skb-queue per link which allows for a cleaner link
disconnection and prepares the code for regulating each link separately.

v1->2: Changed mac80211 PS state change exported functions

A few other AP-mode related small bug fixes and enchancements are included.

[PATCH v2 01/10] wl12xx: fix potential race condition with TX queue watermark

[Arik Nemtsov]

Check the conditions for the high/low TX queue watermarks when the
spin-lock is taken. This prevents race conditions as tx_queue_count and
the flag checked are only modified when the spin-lock is taken.

The following race was in mind:
- Queues are almost full and wl1271_op_tx() will stop the queues, but it
  doesn't get the spin-lock yet.
- (on another CPU) tx_work_locked() dequeues 15 skbs from this queue and
  tx_queue_count is updated to reflect this
- wl1271_op_tx() does not check tx_queue_count after taking the
  spin-lock and incorrectly stops the queue.

[PATCH v2 02/10] wl12xx: AP-mode - fix race condition on sta connection

[Arik Nemtsov]

If a sta starts transmitting immediately after authentication, sometimes
the FW deauthenticates it. Fix this by marking the sta "in-connection"
in FW before sending the autentication response.

The "in-connection" entry is automatically removed when connection
succeeds or after a timeout.

[PATCH v2 03/10] wl12xx: AP-mode - TX queue per link in AC

[Arik Nemtsov]

When operating in AP-mode we require a per link tx-queue.
This allows us to implement HW assisted PS mode for links,
as well as regulate per-link FW TX blocks consumption.
Split each link into ACs to support future QoS for AP-mode.

AC queues are emptied in priority and per-link queues are
scheduled in a simple round-robin fashion.

[PATCH v2 04/10] mac80211: do not calc frame duration when using HW rate-control

[Arik Nemtsov]

When rate-control is performed in HW, we cannot calculate frame
duration as we do not have the skb transmission rate in SW.

ieee80211_tx_h_calculate_duration() should only be called when
ieee80211_tx_h_rate_ctrl() has been called before to initialize data
in skb->cb. This doesn't happen for drivers with HW rate-control.

Fixes the following warning when operating in AP-mode
in a driver with HW rate-control.

[PATCH v2 05/10] wl12xx: report invalid TX rate when returning non-TX-ed skbs

[Arik Nemtsov]

Report a TX rate idx of -1 and count 0 when returning untransmitted
skbs to mac80211 using ieee80211_tx_status(). Otherwise mac80211
tries to use the returned (essentially garbage) status.

[PATCH v2 06/10] mac80211: add HW flag for disabling auto link-PS in AP mode

[Arik Nemtsov]

When operating in AP mode the wl1271 hardware filters out null-data
packets as well as management packets. This makes it impossible for
mac80211 to monitor the PS mode by using the PM bit of incoming frames.

Implement a HW flag to indicate that mac80211 should ignore the PM bit.
In addition, expose ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to make low-level
drivers capable of controlling PS-mode.

[PATCH v2 09/10] wl12xx: AP-mode - count free FW TX blocks per link

[Arik Nemtsov]

Count the number of FW TX blocks allocated per link. We add blocks to a
link counter when allocated for a TX descriptor. We remove blocks
according to counters in fw_status indicating the number of freed blocks
in FW. These counters are polled after each IRQ.

[PATCH v2 10/10] wl12xx: AP-mode - management of links in PS-mode

[Arik Nemtsov]

Update the PS mode of each link according to a bitmap polled from
fw_status. Manually notify mac80211 about PS mode changes in connected
stations.

mac80211 will only be notified about PS start when the station is in PS
and there is a small number of TX blocks from this link ready in HW.
This is required for waking up the remote station since the TIM is
updated entirely by FW.

When a station enters mac80211-PS-mode, we drop all the skbs in the
low-level TX queues belonging to this sta with STAT_TX_FILTERED
to keep our queues clean.

Re: [PATCH v2 06/10] mac80211: add HW flag for disabling auto link-PS in AP mode

It'd be nicer if you could separate out mac80211 patches, but then Luca
needs to hold off merging until John picked up the mac80211 patch.

You just renamed it.

Also, come to think of it, the ieee80211_sta_block_awake will not be
effective I think? Or will it?

Yea that would complicate matters a bit. Does the ordering of the
patches bother you?

Yea thanks for that.

Haven't noticed any adverse effects. ap_sta_ps_end() still checks if
the station is blocked before delivering queued packets.

Also is should be pretty hard to find a driver that uses both mechanisms.
If it wants to block a station from waking up, it can simply not call
ieee80211_sta_ps_transition().

Should work though.

It just makes it more complicated for me to pick out the right thing --
I almost missed that there was a mac80211 patch in this huge series.

Good point, thanks for looking.

Yes, I totally agree with Johannes.  I prefer that
mac80211/cfg80211/whatever_other_stuff be sent as separate series, so
that there's not confusions about who applies what.  If the patches are
in the same series, I always need to ask John to either take them all or
not.

The ideal is if you send mac80211 patches separated from wl12xx and
mention the dependency on the wl12xx series, so I'm aware and wait for
John's integration before taking the wl12xx stuff in.

Sure thing. I'll separate the patches.
