[RFC/RFT 0/2] mac80211/ath10k: fix Rx reordering

[Michal Kazior]

Hi,

I'm posting these 2 patches together in a single
patchset for easier review/testing for now. Once
review goes well I can split up the patchset and
send patches separately if it is desired so.

Recently Denton pointed out ath10k fails to
perform Rx reordering and this causes performance
issues in some cases.

Due to ath10k design I had to come up with a patch
for mac80211 to allow Rx reordering offloading via
existing Rx BA sessions code.

I've tested this pretty lightly so far. With the
patchset `iperf -u` reports 0* out-of-order
frames. Without the patch I'm seeing 400+ per
second (the particular number isn't relevant as it
depends on throughput and environment). It seems
to improve single-threaded TCP performance as
well. All test traffic is station -> ath10k AP.

* There are a few out-of-rder frames in the first
second after Rx tid is set up. I suspect this is
because ath10k is forced to start Rx BA sesion
with an arbitrary start_seq_num. 

Note: This is based on https://github.com/kvalo/ath
30a165cb84793fa3896ad93497e11eed651b1813.

[RFC/RFT 1/2] mac80211: add support for Rx reordering offloading

[Michal Kazior]

Some drivers may be performing most of Tx/Rx
aggregation on their own (e.g. in firmware)
including AddBa/DelBa negotiations but may
otherwise require Rx reordering assistance.

The patch exports 2 new functions for establishing
Rx aggregation sessions in assumption device
driver has taken care of the necessary
negotiations.

[RFC/RFT 2/2] ath10k: fix Rx aggregation reordering

[Michal Kazior]

Firmware doesn't perform Rx reordering so it is
left to the host driver to do that.

Use mac80211 to perform reordering instead of
re-inventing the wheel.

This fixes TCP throughput issues in some
environments (notably Windows stations connecting
to ath10k AP).

Re: [RFC/RFT 0/2] mac80211/ath10k: fix Rx reordering

[Denton Gentry]

With these two changes the iperf throughput of the Windows STA
increased to 283 Mbps, up from ~45 Mbps prior to these changes.

Everything else is as constant as I can hold it, no other code changes
and in the same physical location. It is an open air office
environment, the noise environment can vary day to day.

Ah, ok. BTW, in the future we should rename it to ath10k_mac_get_arvif()
to make it clear it's coming from mac.c.

Why would you need the dialog token (and why no docs?) and timeout?

The buf_size also isn't really needed, is it? We are allowed to use a
bigger buffer, I believe?

This seems problematic, since packets might be received immediately.

On the teardown path it should probably also be invalidated immediately,
no?

Then again, we have the same problem already? Hmm.

Good point. I'll remove both.

Good point. I'll use the max buffer size macro.

Yeah. You have to go through the iface worker so you can race with
data frames coming in in ieee80211_rx() either way.

You'd have to make ampdu_action() atomic, replace sta->ampdu_mlme.mtx
with a spinlock and move some del_timer_sync() around - at least
that's what I've found after taking a quick look.
