[PATCH RFC v4 0/4] Move TXQ scheduling into mac80211

[PATCH RFC v4 0/4] Move TXQ scheduling into mac80211

[Toke Høiland-Jørgensen]

Another update, addressing most of the concerns raised in the last round:

- Added schedule_start()/end() functions that adds locking around the
  whole scheduling operation, which means we can get rid of the 'first'
  parameter to ieee80211_next_txq().

- Adds a callback in the wake_txqs tasklet which will ensure that any
  TXQs throttled by ieee80211_txq_may_transmit() will get woken up
  again. This also makes it possible to ensure all TXQs' deficits are
  increased in the case where the rotation in may_transmit is not
  effective because TXQs are not scheduled in round-robin order by the
  hardware. As part of this, bring back the flag that marks a TXQ as
  throttled.

- Rename ieee80211_schedule_txq() to ieee80211_return_txq() and add a
  check of empty TXQs inside it, so the driver can just call it
  unconditionally.

- Add a call to ieee80211_sta_register_airtime() from the existing
  tx_status path if tx_time is set in the tx_info status field.

- Reorder the patches to the cfg80211 airtime changes come before the
  changes to mac80211.

I didn't port over Kan's "airtime queue limits" stuff yet, partly
because I ran out of time, and partly because I wasn't use if he wanted
to do it himself :)

[PATCH RFC v4 3/4] mac80211: Add airtime accounting and scheduling to TXQs

[Toke Høiland-Jørgensen]

This adds airtime accounting and scheduling to the mac80211 TXQ
scheduler. A new callback, ieee80211_sta_register_airtime(), is added
that drivers can call to report airtime usage for stations.

When airtime information is present, mac80211 will schedule TXQs
(through ieee80211_next_txq()) in a way that enforces airtime fairness
between active stations. This scheduling works the same way as the ath9k
in-driver airtime fairness scheduling. If no airtime usage is reported
by the driver, the scheduler will default to round-robin scheduling.

For drivers that don't control TXQ scheduling in software, a new API
function, ieee80211_txq_may_transmit(), is added which the driver can use
to check if the TXQ is eligible for transmission, or should be throttled to
enforce fairness. Calls to this function must also be enclosed in
ieee80211_txq_schedule_{start,end}() calls to ensure proper locking. TXQs
that are throttled by ieee802111_txq_may_transmit() will be woken up again
by a check added to the ieee80211_wake_txqs() tasklet.

[PATCH RFC v4 2/4] cfg80211: Add airtime statistics and settings

[Toke Høiland-Jørgensen]

This adds TX airtime statistics to the cfg80211 station dump (to go along
with the RX info already present), and adds a new parameter to set the
airtime weight of each station. The latter allows userspace to implement
policies for different stations by varying their weights.

[PATCH RFC v4 1/4] mac80211: Add TXQ scheduling API

[Toke Høiland-Jørgensen]

This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs. The interface
between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling is changed by adding two new
functions: ieee80211_next_txq(), which will return the next TXQ to schedule
in the current round-robin rotation, and ieee80211_return_txq(), which the
driver uses to indicate that it has finished scheduling a TXQ (which will
then be put back in the scheduling rotation if it isn't empty).

The driver must call ieee80211_txq_schedule_start() at the start of each
scheduling session, and ieee80211_txq_schedule_end() at the end. The API
then guarantees that the same TXQ is not returned twice in the same
session (so a driver can loop on ieee80211_next_txq() without worrying
about breaking the loop.

Usage of the new API is optional, so drivers can be ported one at a time.
In this patch, the actual scheduling performed by mac80211 is simple
round-robin, but a subsequent commit adds airtime fairness awareness to the
scheduler.

return_txq() should return a bool to inform the driver that whether txq 
is
queued back or not. Otherwise the same txq will be served indefinitely
until txq becomes empty. This problem occurs when the driver is running 
out
of hw descriptors or driver sends only N frames (< backlog_packets).

Also an option to add the node at head or tail would be preferred. If 
return_txq
adds node at head of list, then it is forcing the driver to serve same 
txq until it
becomes empty. Also this will not allow the driver to send N frames from 
each txqs.

What would the driver do with that return value, exactly?

No, if it's using next_txq(), the API guarantees that the same TXQ will
not be returned more than once between a set of calls to
schedule_start()/schedule_end() (by way of the seqno mechanism). I
didn't add the same check to may_transmit(), because I assumed the
driver would not be looping in this case. Is that not correct?

The whole point of this patch set is to move those kinds of decisions
out of the driver and into mac80211. The airtime scheduler won't achieve
fairness if it allows queues to be queued to the end of the rotation
before its deficit turns negative. And obviously there's some lag in
this since we're using after-the-fact airtime information.

For ath9k this has not really been a problem in my tests; if the lag
turns out to be too great for ath10k (which I suppose is a possibility
since we don't get airtime information on every TX-compl), I figure we
can use the same estimated airtime value that is used for throttling the
queues to adjust the deficit immediately...

Hmm.. As you know ath10k kind of doing fairness by serving fixed frames
from each txq. This approach will be removed from ath10k.

Thats true. I am porting Kan's changes of airtime estimation for each 
msdu
for firmware that does not report airtime.

Right. My thinking with this was that we could put the per-frame airtime
estimation into ieee80211_tx_dequeue(), which could track the
outstanding airtime and just return NULL if it goes over the threshold.
I think this is fairly straight-forward to do on its own; the biggest
problem is probably finding the space in the mac80211 cb?

Is this what you are working on porting? Because then I'll wait for your
patch rather than starting to write this code myself :)

This mechanism on its own will get us the queue limiting and latency
reduction goodness for firmwares with deep queues. And for that it can
be completely independent of the airtime fairness scheduler, which can
use the after-tx-compl airtime information to presumably get more
accurate fairness which includes retransmissions etc.

Now, we could *also* use the ahead-of-time airtime estimation for
fairness; either just as a fallback for drivers that can't get actual
airtime usage information for the hardware, or as an alternative in
cases where it works better for other reasons. But I think that
separating the two in the initial implementation makes more sense; that
will make it easier to experiment with different combinations of the
two.

Does that make sense? :)

Kind of.. something like below.

tx_dequeue(){
     compute airtime_est from last_tx_rate
     if (sta->airtime[ac].deficit < airtime_est)
         return NULL;
     dequeue skb and store airtime_est in cb
}

Unfortunately ath10k is not reporting last_tx_rate in tx_status(). So I
also applied this "ath10k: report tx rate using ieee80211_tx_status" 
change.

Completely agree. I was thinking of using this as fallback for devices
that does not report airtime but tx rate.

I think I would decouple it further and not use the deficit. But rather:

 tx_dequeue(){
      if (sta->airtime[ac].outstanding > AIRTIME_OUTSTANDING_MAX)
        return NULL
      compute airtime_est from last_tx_rate
      dequeue skb and store airtime_est in cb
      sta->airtime[ac].outstanding +=3D airtime_est;
 }

Yeah, that and the patch that computes the last used rate will probably
be necessary; but they can be pretty much applied as-is, right?

Unfortunately not. I think the plan is now to follow Johannes' proposal:

It is useful only when the driver calls tx_status_noskb(). It was 
recommended not to
call tx_status() and tx_status_noskb() APIs from same driver. Hence Anil 
was trying
to piggyback tx rate report by tx_status itself.

Wouldn't this start()/end() APIs cause deadlock if mac80211 tries to

schedule_start()

Hmm, yeah, that call sequence would certainly deadlock. But earlier, I
think; ieee80211_queue_skb() already takes fq->lock, which is being held
by tx_dequeue(), so this would deadlock on that?

I guess retransmits of TDLS teardown packets don't happen so often?
Otherwise someone would have run into this by now? Or are those frames
not being transmitted through the TXQs at all?

In any case it does seem a bit dangerous to have a possible path where
ieee80211_free_txskb() will result in a call to
ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). So we should probably fix that in any
case?

It is an overload to schedule wake_txqs_tasklet for each txq unlock.
Instead I would prefer to call __ieee80211_kick_airtime from 
schedule_end.

Both set_bit() and clear_bit() are atomic operations, so they don't need
separate locking. See Documentation/atomic_bitops.txt

Yeah, I realise scheduling the whole wake_txqs_tasklet is maybe a bit
heavy-handed here. However just calling into __ieee80211_kick_airtime()
means we'll end up recursing back to the same place, which is not good
either (we could in theory flip-flop between two queues until we run out
of stack space).

My "backup plan" if the wake_txqs_tasklet turns out to be too heavy was
to define a new tasklet just for this use; but wanted to see if this
actually turned out to be a problem first...

IMHO schedule_start/end is needed for tracking first node to break the 
loop.
It is not applicable when the driver calls may_transmit(). It would be 
better
if active_txq_lock is moved within may_transmit.

Instead of adding new tasklet, we can introduce new API to iterate 
through
throttled txqs. Driver that make use of may_transmit, have to call this 
new API
at the end of irq handler i.e after processing tx/rx.

Toke,

Cause for the soft lockup exposed in multi client scenario is due to
mixed order of fq_lock and active_txqs_lock. In wake_tx_queue or 
push_pending
case, driver acquires active_txq_lock first by schedule_start and 
followed by
fq_lock in tx_dequeue. The same order should be maintained in sta 
cleanup.
Below change fixed the issue.

One more thing. As I mentioned earlier, scheduling wake_txqs_tasklet
is heavy load and causing random rcu stall issue. Hence I added
another API to schedule throttled txqs once for all. Also I did
a cleanup in kick_airtime by traversing list only once. With these
changes I don't see rcu stall issue. Please review and fold them as 
well.

This is going to break fairness; we only want to increase deficits when
all stations' deficits are negative. Hence the two loops. Did you see
any problems with those specifically?

No. I didn't see any issue but the loop won't exit until one txq becomes 
positive.
Till then the lock won't be released. Hence I converged into single 
iteration.

The problem is that the fairness behaviour is changed when there are already positive txqs, but the first one happens to not be positive.  That's why there were two loops.

Yeah.. Understood. we can ignore the cleanup change.

Great! I'll fold in the rest, test it with ath9k and submit as a proper patch :)

Thanks. I am seeing higher CPU load. Did you observe similar behavior 
with ath9k.

Toke,

I noticed a race condition b/w sta cleanup and kick_airtime tasklet. How 
do you
plan to exit kick_airtime gracefully during sta_cleanup?

If kick_airtime tasklet is only used for adjusting deficit for all 
throttled txq,
then below rcu lock issue is not observed. I am testing with 50 clients 
and the
crash happens only during sta cleanup. Releasing active_txq_lock from 
tasklet is
yielding handle to txq_purge(). I am thinking of get rid of tasklet and 
handle
adjustment directly in API.

Ah, right, there's a lot of stuff going on before we get to purge_txq.
Hmm, I guess we should either make sure we remove the station from
active_txqs earlier in the sta cleanup process, or maybe it'd enough to
just check the removed flag in the tasklet?

Does the below patch fix the issue?

But 'continue' also used in other places. Will give a try but I think 
that
calling drv_wake_tx_queue within iteration is dangerous as it alters the 
list. no?

How about below change? Just schedule first txq and remaining will be
scheduled later by driver upon tx-compl.

Shouldn't have to call next_txq(). It should be as below.
Anyway drv_wake_tx_queue is just an indication to driver and
driver will always dequeue first node from list.

Your mail client seems to be mangling the patch somewhat, but I think I
see what your intention is. And yeah, just waking a single TXQ and
letting TX-completion do the rest is a good idea; will fold that into
the next version :)
