This patch set adds a new data path to offload 802.11 header
encap/decap to driver or hardware. Drivers having support
for ieee80211 header encap/decap and other offload functionalities
which can't be done before encap or after decap can make use of
this new data path. Currently it is implemented for STA and AP
interface type, this can be extend other interface types like
adhoc.
With ath10k driver changes using this new Tx/Rx path, 10 - 15%
CPU usage and upto ~20Mbps TCP performance improvements are
observed with this ethernet data path. This patch set is
prepared on a older mac80211 code base on top of
commit 7d27a0ba7adc ("cfg80211: Add mesh peer AID setting API").
Sorry, I could not get a chance to rework it on top of latest
mac80211 code base.
TODO (from initial review):
- Consider ieee8011 header and cipher header size also while updating tx/rx stats for
ethernet frame format.
- Any optimization to reduce the amount of code change.
- Improve commit log and doc

Drivers can have the capability to offload 802.11 encap/decap
to firmware or hardware for data frames. This patch adds a new
hw_flag for driver to advertise the offload support. Drivers
advertising the support have also to implement new ieee80211_ops
callback, get_vif_80211_hdr_offload(), to notify if the 802.11 encap/decap
offload is supported for a particular vif type. Transmit and receive
path offloading 802.11 header (including cipher headers) encap/decap
for data frames will be implemented in separate patches.
Drivers advertising this capability should also implement other
functionalities which deal with 802.11 frame format like below
- Hardware encryption/Decryption
- ADDBA/DELBA offload
- Aggregation and deaggregation of A-MSDU offload
- Fragmentation and defragmentation offload
- Rx reordering of A-MPDU subframe offload
- PN/TSC check offload
- Rx duplication check offload
- Hardware rate control
- Powersave offload

Driver (or hw) supporting 802.11 encapsulation offload
for data frames can make use of this new xmit path.
This patch defines new ndo_ops, all these callbacks are same as
ieee80211_dataif_ops other than ndo_start_xmit() which does
minimal processing leaving 802.11 encap related to driver.
This patch makes netdev_ops registration dynamic based on the
interface type, at any time the netdev_ops of netdev will be
assigned to either the ndo_ops defined to do 802.11 encap or
the ones defined for 802.11 encap offload. There is a new hw
config notification, IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_80211_HDR_OFFL, to make
the driver aware of any configuration change in 802.11 encap/decap
offload.
There is a field, no_80211_encap, added to ieee80211_tx_info:control
to mark if the 802.11 encapsulation is offloaded to driver.
There is also a new callback for tx completion status indication
to handle data frames using 802.11 encap offload. Currently ath10k
fw is capable of doing 802.11 encapsulation/decapsulationi offload.
With the corresponding driver changes, using 802.11 encap/decap offload
might improve performance.

From: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan @ 2016-12-15 6:00 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: johannes; +Cc: linux-wireless, Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan
Implement rx path which does fewer processing on the
received data frame which has already gone through
802.11 header decapsulation and other functionalities
which require 802.11 header in the low level driver
or hardware. Currently this rx path is restricted
to AP and STA mode, but can be extended for Adhoc
mode as well.
This rx path only checks if the driver has advertised
it's support of 802.11 header encap/decap offload for
data frames. It is upto the low level driver to make
sure if the frame that it passes is in ethernet format
and the sta pointer is valid.

I wonder if we really shouldn't be going the other way around instead,
to be closer to what Ethernet and likely other drivers do.

This shouldn't be necessary.

Neither is this, if we find some API to do sampling. The existing rate
table API already allows setting the rates out of band, so the only
thing that you'd have to support out of band is sampling.
> - Powersave offload
That's ambiguous - you do need to handle sleeping stations (and PS-
Poll/U-APSD) in AP mode in the device with this, but I don't see a deep
technical reason to require it for client mode. OTOH, client mode is
almost always offloaded anyway.
I think you may have forgotten one important item,
- control port handling
?

I don't see why you need this, when you have the method - you can just
assume that the method returns false when it's not implemented.

Why are you not simply returning "supported"?
I don't like passing the vif pointer here. At this point, the vif
pointer isn't known to the driver yet (through drv_add_interface) so
it's a dead pointer as far as the sequencing is concerned.
Is there a possibility that drivers need to switch off ethernet format
handling entirely when an incompatible interface is added? For example,
if you add a mesh interface, is there a chance that the AP interface
might no longer be able to handle this?
I'd hope this doesn't happen because I think that would be extremely
complicated to handle safely.

Wouldn't it be better to simply prohibit changing this while the

Why not just refuse the key instead? It also seems wrong to do anything

I'm not even sure I see the point in that? Other than that (and the
various other offload requirements), it seems that encap/decap could be
considered orthogonal.

You should probably rename that flag to something like
RX_FLAG_80211_MCAST since otherwise it's confusing with the next
multicast ether addr check:

But this could just also use the flag, since in station mode the two
are equivalent, and it'd be easier to figure out if this was "else if
(station mode)"?

That seems a bit pointless?

Yeah, that's not nice - perhaps we can provide the TID out of band? If
not, we'll have to disable those statistics *all the way*, i.e. not
even report them to userspace when filling sinfo.

Do we really want to handle that inline here? The driver probably has a
different check to even set RX_FLAG_MMIC_ERROR, so we could just ask it
to call cfg80211_michael_mic_failure() [or a wrapper to get sdata->dev]
instead? I guess this works too though, and might be easier to
understand.

Does this mean that when bringing up multiple interfaces, users would
need to figure out the 'magic' order that works?

I think we need to talk about hardware capabilities at this point.
I was assuming that it would actually be possible to run two interfaces
with different paths here concurrently - is that not true? If that's
not true, then we absolutely _need_ dynamic switching, I agree with
Felix, but then we have a pretty big complication to figure out. But we
can't let this optimisation affect user experience.

That should be sufficient, no?
In fact, for RX, assuming that the relevant things are offloaded (and
we should ensure that in the RX function(s)), the driver could be
allowed to switch around as dynamically as it wants to (as long as it's
not mixing in _irqsafe calls or doing other things that might cause
reordering)

Oh, ok. I thought it was actually all filled.
You really should support NAPI though.

We could go with that for now then. Leave a comment indicating that if
it can't be provided, we need to disable statistics for it?

It would be, because the driver can't get sdata->dev (although I think
there's now a hidden path to do this?)

However, we can do both ways, I don't really care that much. It seems
possible though that a driver would not even report the frame, but only
the necessary info, in this case - so that we might need an out-of-band
path for it anyway?

I don't know either, nobody else has talked about it yet :-)
Anyway, if we (for now) we can assume that TX can be constant 802.3
encap mode once enabled, we don't have to deal with the messy dynamic
switching you had there.
RX can switch more dynamically independent of all the mac80211 code
since it basically just means the driver calls one function or the
other - if everything is offloaded correctly there shouldn't really be
a difference.
Then also things like IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_80211_HDR_OFFL etc. can go
away entirely because you don't have to switch anything dynamically at
a global level. That will simplify everything a lot.

It needs to do the aggregation of the data flows, but I don't think the
control flows will need to be offloaded entirely? We'd need to have
some feedback mechanism for the SN used etc., so that might be up to
the driver to implement and might not be easy.
Anyway, I'm only suggesting to drop this from the documentation since
it doesn't seem strictly necessary, assuming the driver can report the
correct SSN in the callback all the A-MPDU setup should work more or
less as-is (except I think mac80211 won't buffer frames while doing it,
so also that would have to be done by the driver).

Actually, come to think of it, the whole client-side powersave stuff is
so broken that I can't recommend using it - perhaps just clarify this
and say:
* AP: offloaded support for powersaving clients
* non-AP: offloaded support for powersave (if desired)

I think I later saw control port handling in your 802.3 RX code - my
review at this point was tainted by some thoughts I had how I thought
it should work, but it's different :)

When you say "all" are you also taking into account QCA6174 and QCA9377?
Just checking...
