[PATCH V4 0/4] Enable virtual time-based airtime scheduler support on ath10k

[Yibo Zhao]

This series fix some issues when enabling virtual time-based airtime scheduler on ath10k.

Changes since v3:
  Change schedule_pos to previous node once it has chance to be moved/removed
  from current position in the tree in loop scenario and bring back schedule_round
  in case that same node is to be scheduled again in the mean time.

  Increase airtime grace period to 2000 us in the first patch.

  Put per-AC station weight checking in its lock during configuration from application.

Changes since v2:
  Changes station airtime weight to be per-AC based to avoid sync issue
  Remove Co-developed-by and Toke's sign-off as Toke suggested

Changes since v1:
  Modify the author of Co-developed-by as Johannes suggested

[PATCH 1/4] mac80211: Switch to a virtual time-based airtime scheduler

[Yibo Zhao]

From: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@redhat.com>

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. However, hopefully this number rarely grows too big (it's
only TXQs currently backlogged, not all associated stations), so it
shouldn't be too big of an issue.

[PATCH 2/4] mac80211: fix issue in loop scenario

[Yibo Zhao]

In a loop txqs dequeue scenario, if the first txq in the rbtree gets
removed from rbtree immediately in the ieee80211_return_txq(), the
loop will break soon in the ieee80211_next_txq() due to schedule_pos
not leading to the second txq in the rbtree. Thus update schedule_pos
to previous node once the node of schedule_pos is either removed from
rbtree or move to other location in rbtree due to airtime update.

[PATCH 3/4] mac80211: fix low throughput in multi-clients situation

[Yibo Zhao]

Not long after the start of multi-clients test, not a single station is
an eligible candidate for transmission since global virtual time(g_vt) is
smaller than the virtual airtime(s_vt) of all the stations. As a result,
the Tx has been blocked and throughput is quite low.

This may mainly due accumulative deviation from the devision calculation
of g_vt.

For example:
Suppose we have 50 clients in first round.
Round 1:
STA	weight	Tx_time_round  wt_sum	s_vt	g_vt  valid_for_next_Tx
1	256	2048		12800	2048	2000	N
2	256	2048			2048		N
.	.	.			.		.
.	.	.			.		.
.	.	.			.		.
50	256	2048			2048		N

After this round, all the stations are not valid for next transmission due to
accumulative deviation.

The real situation can be more complicate, above is one of the extremely case.

To avoid this situation to occur, the new proposal is:

- If global virtual time is less than the virtual airtime of any station,
  sync it to the airtime of first station in the red-black tree

- Round the division result

[PATCH 4/4] mac80211: Sync airtime weight sum with per AC synced sta airtime weight together

[Yibo Zhao]

Global airtime weight sum is updated only when txq is added/removed
from rbtree. If upper layer configures sta weight during high load,
airtime weight sum will not be updated since txq is most likely on the
tree. It could a little late for upper layer to reconfigure sta weight
when txq is already in the rbtree. And thus, incorrect airtime weight sum
will lead to incorrect global virtual time calculation as well as overflow
of airtime weight sum during txq removed.

Hence, need to update airtime weight sum upon receiving event for
configuring sta weight once sta's txq is on the rbtree.

Besides, if airtime weight sum of ACs and sta weight is synced under the
same per AC lock protection, there can be a very short window causing
incorrct airtime weight sum calculation as below:

    active_txq_lock_VO                          .
    VO weight sum is syncd			.
    sta airtime weight sum is synced		.
    active_txq_unlock_VO			.
    .						.
    active_txq_lock_VI    			.
    VI weight sum is syncd			.
    sta airtime weight sum		active_txq_lock_BE
    active_txq_unlock_VI	      Remove txq and thus sum
    .				      is calculated with synced
    .				      sta airtime weight
    .					active_txq_unlock_BE

So introduce a per ac synced station airtime weight synced with per
AC synced weight sum together. And the per-AC station airtime weight
is used to calculate weight sum.

For my understanding - this is a fix to the first patch in the series?

I guess you didn't squash it because that's Toke's patch or something?

I tend to think you still should, and annotate the changes, but I wanted
to understand it first.

Re: [PATCH 4/4] mac80211: Sync airtime weight sum with per AC synced sta airtime weight together

[Johannes Berg]

I'm going to assume that Toke will review all of this and there will be
changes, so you'd resend anyway ...

If you do, please replace the "*<space>purposes" by "*<tab>purposes" :-)

(otherwise I can just fix that myself too, but ...)

Erm, what? Not sure I understand what you're asking here...

Yeah, this series doesn't even apply in its current form. I'll try to
fix that, and do a few other updates that are needed while I'm at it.
And to answer your question in the other email, yeah, this should
probably be squashed to a single patch...

Hi Johannes,

Yes, this is a fix to the first patch. Actually, the rest of two patches 
are also serve the same. So, are you suggesting to merge them to the 
first patch?

Previouly, I had added Toke's signature in this patch but Toke advised 
to delete it. I feel a little bit confused about how to handle it. 
Appreciate any detail guide.

Yes.

I guess that you have to discuss that with Toke, how he wants to handle
it ... If he gave you a patch with his signed-off-by, then you should
probably keep it? There's also "Co-developed-by" tag to give some sort
of non-author developer credits.

I'll do some squashing and send a new version; in which case I think it
makes sense to have both our s-o-b tags, and maybe a co-developed-by.

I'm hoping to get this done before the holidays (i.e., this week).
Already got everything rebased to current mac80211-next, just need to do
the squashing and fix up the other outstanding issues from last time.

Re: [PATCH 3/4] mac80211: fix low throughput in multi-clients situation

[Justin Capella]

Is there a risk of division by zero?

I'm curious about IEEE80211_AIRTIME_QUANTUM in this multiple sta
scenario, should weight maybe be the depth of the queue or something
like that? Using real time delta I assume is not performant?

No, weights are always positive.

Eh?
