The code currently relies on refcounting to disable IRQs from within the
IRQ handler and re-enabling them again after the tasklet has run.
However, due to race conditions sometimes the IRQ handler might be
called twice, or the tasklet may not run at all (if interrupted in the
middle of a reset).
This can cause nasty imbalances in the irq-disable refcount which will
get the driver permanently stuck until the entire radio has been stopped
and started again (ath_reset will not recover from this).
Instead of using this fragile logic, change the code to ensure that
running the irq handler during tasklet processing is safe, and leave the
refcount untouched.

This reworks the ath9k driver to schedule transmissions to connected
stations in a way that enforces airtime fairness between them. It
accomplishes this by measuring the time spent transmitting to or
receiving from a station at TX and RX completion, and accounting this to
a per-station, per-QoS level airtime deficit. Then, an FQ-CoDel based
deficit scheduler is employed at packet dequeue time, to control which
station gets the next transmission opportunity.
Airtime fairness can significantly improve the efficiency of the network
when station rates vary. The following throughput values are from a
simple three-station test scenario, where two stations operate at the
highest HT20 rate, and one station at the lowest, and the scheduler is
employed at the access point:
Before / After
Fast station 1: 19.17 / 25.09 Mbps
Fast station 2: 19.83 / 25.21 Mbps
Slow station: 2.58 / 1.77 Mbps
Total: 41.58 / 52.07 Mbps
The benefit of airtime fairness goes up the more stations are present.
In a 30-station test with one station artificially limited to 1 Mbps,
we have seen aggregate throughput go from 2.14 to 17.76 Mbps.

This switches ath9k over to using the mac80211 intermediate software
queueing mechanism for data packets. It removes the queueing inside the
driver, except for the retry queue, and instead pulls from mac80211 when
a packet is needed. The retry queue is used to store a packet that was
pulled but can't be sent immediately.
The old code path in ath_tx_start that would queue packets has been
removed completely, as has the qlen limit tunables (since there's no
longer a queue in the driver to limit).
The mac80211 intermediate software queues offer significant latency
reductions, and this patch allows ath9k to realise them. The exact gains
from this varies with the test scenario, but in an access point scenario
we have seen latency reductions ranging from 1/3 to as much as an order
of magnitude. We also achieve slightly better aggregation.
Median latency (ping) figures with this patch applied at the access point,
with two high-rate stations and one low-rate station (HT20 5Ghz), running
a Flent rtt_fair_var_up test with one TCP flow and one ping flow going to
each station:
Fast station Slow station
Default pfifo_fast qdisc: 430.4 ms 638.7 ms
fq_codel qdisc on iface: 35.5 ms 211.8 ms
This patch set: 22.4 ms 38.2 ms
Median aggregation sizes over the same test:
Default pfifo_fast qdisc: 9.5 pkts 1.9 pkts
fq_codel qdisc on iface: 11.2 pkts 1.9 pkts
This patch set: 13.9 pkts 1.9 pkts
This patch is based on Tim's original patch set, but reworked quite
thoroughly.

The use of config_enabled() against config options is ambiguous. In
practical terms, config_enabled() is equivalent to IS_BUILTIN(), but the
author might have used it for the meaning of IS_ENABLED(). Using
IS_ENABLED(), IS_BUILTIN(), IS_MODULE() etc. makes the intention
clearer.
This commit replaces config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() where possible.
This commit is only touching bool config options.
I noticed two cases where config_enabled() is used against a tristate
option:
- config_enabled(CONFIG_HWMON)
[ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/thermal.c ]
- config_enabled(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE)
[ drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/opregion.c ]
I did not touch them because they should be converted to IS_BUILTIN()
in order to keep the logic, but I was not sure it was the authors'
intention.

This patch fixes some issues with interface reconfiguration. It could
for example happen that an AP interface in beacon slot 0 was removed
leaving an IBSS station in one of the other slots. When this happens
the driver never sends out the beacon as it only tries to send a beacon
from slot 0.
Appart from that the tracking of required changes to the beacon config is
relatively complicated and prone to errors.
The approach taken here is to solve reconfiguration issues is to
reconfigure the beacons when any interface changes. This means that
the complexity of deciding whether an interface change may modify the
beacon configuration is gone. It also means that the beacon config will
be reliably updated when an interface is removed.
The issue that a single non-AP interface might not be in beacon
slot 0 and wouldn't be send out is solved by moving it into the
first slot. The TSF value in hardware is adjusted accordingly so
that the timestamp of the beacons stay consistent.

The ath9k TSF handling routines need to be aware of the channel context that

in each channel context will be correctly tracked and the harware will only
be updated if the modified context is currently the active one.

This patch is derived from
commit 6301566e0b ("ath9k: export HW random number generator"),
We evaluated the entropy of the ADC data on QCA9531, QCA9561, QCA955x,
and AR9340, and it has sufficient quality random data (at least 10 bits
and up to 22 bits of min-entropy for a 32-bit value). We conservatively
assume the min-entropy is 10 bits out of 32 bits. Thus, ATH9K_RNG_BUF_SIZE
is set to 320 (u32) i.e., 1.25 kilobytes of data is inserted to fill up
the pool as soon as the entropy counter becomes 896/4096 (set by random.c).
Since ADC was not designed to be a dedicated HW RNG, we do not want to bind
it to /dev/hwrng framework directly. This patch feeds the entropy directly
from the WiFi driver to the input pool. The ADC register output is only
used as a seed for the Linux entropy pool. No conditioning is needed,
since all the conditioning is performed by the pool itself.

To fix invalid hardware accesses, the commit 872b5d814f ("ath9k: do not

emitted after queueing a hardware reset (which disables the IRQ). This left a
small time window for the IRQ to get re-enabled by the tasklet, which caused
IRQ storms. Instead of returning IRQ_NONE when ATH_OP_HW_RESET is set, disable

Start trying to bring up the other 5 one at a time. It will

The "goto chip_reset" is a bit misleading, because it does not actually
issue a chip reset. Instead it is bypassing processing of other
interrupts and assumes that the tasklet will issue a chip reset.
In the case of RXORN this does not happen, so bypassing processing of
other interrupts will simply allow them to fire again. Even if RXORN
was triggering a reset, it is not critical enough to need the bypass
here.

mac80211 currently has a race which can be hit
with this sequence:
* Start a scan operation.
* TX BA is initiated by ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session().
* Driver sets up internal state and calls
ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe().
* mac80211 adds a packet to sdata->skb_queue with
type IEEE80211_SDATA_QUEUE_AGG_START.
* ieee80211_iface_work() doesn't process the
packet because scan is in progress.
* ADDBA response timer expires and the sta/tid is
torn down.
* Driver receives BA stop notification and calls
ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe().
* This is also added to the queue by mac80211.
* Now, scan finishes.
At this point, the queued up packets might be processed
if some other operation schedules the sdata work. Since
the tids have been cleaned up already, warnings are hit.
If this doesn't happen, the packets are left in the queue
until the interface is torn down.
Since initiating a BA session when scan is in progress
leads to flaky connections, especially in MCC mode, we
can drop the TX BA request. This improves connectivity
with legacy clients in MCC mode.

The flush timeout in MCC mode is very small, since
we are constrained by the time slice for each
channel context, but since only the HW queues are
flushed when switching contexts, it is acceptable.
Since the SW queues are also emptied in the mac80211 flush()

argument to __ath9k_flush() and set it when flush()
is called in MCC mode. This allows the driver to
drain both the SW and HW queues.

Pending frames in the driver can be present

currently checks for the HW queues first and then
checks if any ACs are queued in the driver.
In MCC mode, we need to check the HW queues alone, since
the SW queues are just marked as 'stopped' - they will
be processed in the next context switch. But since we
don't differentiate this now, mention whether we want
to check if there are frames in the SW queues.

When a HW reset is done, the interrupt tasklet is
disabled before ISRs are disabled in the HW. This
allows a small window where the HW can still generate
interrupts. Since the tasklet is disabled and not killed,
it is not scheduled but deferred for execution at a later
time.
This happens because ATH_OP_HW_RESET is not set when ath_reset()
is called. When the hw_reset_work workqueue is used, this
problem doesn't arise because ATH_OP_HW_RESET is set
and the ISR bails out.
Set ATH_OP_HW_RESET properly in ath_reset() to avoid

In MCC mode, currently the decision to enable
the multi-channel state machine is done
based on the association status if one of
the interfaces assigned to a context is in
station mode.
This allows the driver to switch to the other
context before the current station is able to
complete the 4-way handshake in case it is
required and this causes problems.
Instead, enable multi-channel mode when the
station moves to the authorized state. This
disallows an early switch to the other channel.

If a station interface is already assigned to a context
and is active and a second interface of type AP is added,
then beaconing on the new interface has to be begin only
after the BSS_CHANGED_BEACON_ENABLED flag is sent by mac80211
to the driver.
But, since we issue ATH_CHANCTX_EVENT_ENABLE_MULTICHANNEL as soon
as a new channel context is added, a switch occurs almost immediately
before BSS_CHANGED_BEACON_ENABLED is received. When a HW reset
is done for the new context, beacons are enabled for the
interface since "enable_beacon" in the BSS config maintained
in mac80211 is true - but the driver hasn't been notified yet.
This causes a panic, since the beacon interval is zero for this
interface and ath9k_cmn_beacon_config_ap() doesn't have a safety check.
Fix this panic by checking if the beacon params has been cached
for this context and use the "enable_beacon" flag maintained
locally in the driver. Also, recalculate the summary data

estimation algorithm (dynack) passing coverage class equals to -1
to lower drivers. Synchronize set_coverage_class routine signature with
mac80211 function pointer for p54, ath9k, ath9k_htc and ath5k drivers.

If a new context is being added in addition to the current one,
then send the ASSIGN event to abort a running scan since
the addition of a context is usually followed by VIF
assignment and further operations.

Finally move the 'offchannel' instance in ath_softc
inside a CONFIG_ATH9K_CHANNEL_CONTEXT cage. The offchannel
usage in ath9k_calculate_iter_data() is closed off with
an ifdef for now, since the state/opmode calculation is
common for both the channel context mode and the normal mode.

ath9k_vif_iter() was earlier used as an iterator
routine when calling a mac80211 utility. This is no
longer the case and hence we can mention the argument
type explicitly.
