[PATCH 03/23] wilc1000: move receive-queue stats from txq to wilc structure

[David Mosberger-Tang]

This is in preparation of switching the transmit queue to struct
sk_buffs.  There is no functional change other than moving the
location of the structure.

[PATCH 00/23] wilc1000: rework tx path to use sk_buffs throughout

[David Mosberger-Tang]

Based on the earlier discussion (RFC: wilc1000: refactor TX path to
use sk_buff queue), here is the full patch series to clean up and
simplify the TX path.

The biggest patch is 0016, which is the one actually switching the
queue data type, but I worked hard to minimize it to only direct
changes due to the type changes.

There is no significant performance difference due to this patch.  I'd
expect the new code to be slightly faster, but my WLAN
test-environment is not sufficiently controlled to be sure of that.

original iperf3 performance (duration 120 seconds):

                TX [Mbps]	RX [Mbps]
  PSM off:	14.8		18.9
  PSM  on:	10.5		17.1

iperf3 performance with this patch-series applied:

		TX [Mbps]	RX [Mbps]
  PSM off:	15.6		19.5
  PSM  on:	11.2		17.7

(PSM == power-save-mode; controlled by iw dev wlan0 set power_save on/off)

[PATCH 02/23] wilc1000: switch txq_event from completion to waitqueue

[David Mosberger-Tang]

Completion structs are essentially counting semaphores: every
complete() call wakes up exactly one thread, either immediately (when
there are waiters queued) or in the future (when a waiter arrives).
This isn't really the appropriate synchronization structure for the
wilc1000 transmit queue handler (wilc_wlan_handle_txq) because it will
consume zero, one, or more packets on each call.  Instead, use a
waitqueue as a condition variable: wake_up_interruptible() wakes up
the tx queue handler from a call to wait_event_interruptible()
whenever something interesting happens and it then takes the
appropriate action.  This has a couple of benefits:

 - Since the transmit queue handler often transfers multiple packets
   to the chip on each call, repeated calls to wait_for_completion()
   when there is no actual work to do are avoided.

 - When the transmit queue handler cannot transfer any packets at all,
   it'll simply give up the current time slice and then tries again.
   Previously, the transmit would stall until a new packet showed up
   (which potentially could cause extended stalls).  It would be even
   better to wait for a "tx queue not full" interrupt but, sadly, I'm
   told the wilc1000 firmware doesn't provide that.

 - There is no longer any need for wilc_wlan_txq_filter_dup_tcp_ack()
   to adjust the completion structs wait count by calling
   wait_for_completion_timeout() for each dropped packet.

[PATCH 08/23] wilc1000: fix management packet type inconsistency

[David Mosberger-Tang]

The queue type for management packets was initialized to AC_BE_Q
(best-effort queue) but the packet was then actually added to the
AC_VO_Q queue (voice, or highest-priority queue).  This fixes the
inconsistency by setting the type to AC_VO_Q.

[PATCH 09/23] wilc1000: prepare wilc_wlan_tx_packet_done() for sk_buff changes

This patch just adds some helper variables.  I suppose they improve

forthcoming sk_buff rework patch shorter and more obvious.

[PATCH 15/23] wilc1000: Add struct wilc_skb_tx_cb as an alias of struct txq_entry_t

[David Mosberger-Tang]

This is in preparation of the next patch, which removes struct
wilc_skb_tx_cb in favor of struct sk_buffs.  That change requires
moving the driver-private state for tx packets from struct txq_entry_t
to the "control buffer" (cb field) of struct sk_buff.  Making that
move now makes the next patch a bit smaller and easier to understand.

[PATCH 14/23] wilc1000: if there is no tx packet, don't increment packets-sent counter

[David Mosberger-Tang]

Granted, this case is mostly theoretical as the queue should never be
empty in this place, and hence tqe should never be NULL, but it's
still wrong to count a packet that doesn't exist.

[PATCH 16/23] wilc1000: switch tx queue to normal sk_buff entries

[David Mosberger-Tang]

Convert to the transmit path to use normal socket-buffer operations
rather than driver-specific structures and functions.

This ends up deleting a fair amount of code and otherwise mostly
consists of switching struct txq_entry_t to struct sk_buff.

[PATCH 19/23] wilc1000: don't tell the chip to go to sleep while copying tx packets

[David Mosberger-Tang]

Putting the chip to sleep and waking it up again is relatively slow,
so there is no point to put the chip to sleep for the short time it
takes to copy a couple of packets.

[PATCH 17/23] wilc1000: remove no longer used "vif" argument from init_txq_entry()

[David Mosberger-Tang]

With the tx-path switched to sk_buffs, there is no longer any need for
the "vif" argument in init_txq_entry().

[PATCH 12/23] wilc1000: refactor wilc_wlan_cfg_commit() a bit

[David Mosberger-Tang]
