2019-11-22mac80211: Use Airtime-based Queue Limits (AQL) on packet dequeueToke Høiland-Jørgensen
The previous commit added the ability to throttle stations when they queue too much airtime in the hardware. This commit enables the functionality by calculating the expected airtime usage of each packet that is dequeued from the TXQs in mac80211, and accounting that as pending airtime. The estimated airtime for each skb is stored in the tx_info, so we can subtract the same amount from the running total when the skb is freed or recycled. The throttling mechanism relies on this accounting to be accurate (i.e., that we are not freeing skbs without subtracting any airtime they were accounted for), so we put the subtraction into ieee80211_report_used_skb(). As an optimisation, we also subtract the airtime on regular TX completion, zeroing out the value stored in the packet afterwards, to avoid having to do an expensive lookup of the station from the packet data on every packet. This patch does *not* include any mechanism to wake a throttled TXQ again, on the assumption that this will happen anyway as a side effect of whatever freed the skb (most commonly a TX completion).

2019-11-22mac80211: Implement Airtime-based Queue Limit (AQL)Kan Yan
In order for the Fq_CoDel algorithm integrated in mac80211 layer to operate effectively to control excessive queueing latency, the CoDel algorithm requires an accurate measure of how long packets stays in the queue, AKA sojourn time. The sojourn time measured at the mac80211 layer doesn't include queueing latency in the lower layer (firmware/hardware) and CoDel expects lower layer to have a short queue. However, most 802.11ac chipsets offload tasks such TX aggregation to firmware or hardware, thus have a deep lower layer queue. Without a mechanism to control the lower layer queue size, packets only stay in mac80211 layer transiently before being sent to firmware queue. As a result, the sojourn time measured by CoDel in the mac80211 layer is almost always lower than the CoDel latency target, hence CoDel does little to control the latency, even when the lower layer queue causes excessive latency. The Byte Queue Limits (BQL) mechanism is commonly used to address the similar issue with wired network interface. However, this method cannot be applied directly to the wireless network interface. "Bytes" is not a suitable measure of queue depth in the wireless network, as the data rate can vary dramatically from station to station in the same network, from a few Mbps to over Gbps. This patch implements an Airtime-based Queue Limit (AQL) to make CoDel work effectively with wireless drivers that utilized firmware/hardware offloading. AQL allows each txq to release just enough packets to the lower layer to form 1-2 large aggregations to keep hardware fully utilized and retains the rest of the frames in mac80211 layer to be controlled by the CoDel algorithm.

2019-11-22mac80211: Import airtime calculation code from mt76Toke Høiland-Jørgensen
Felix recently added code to calculate airtime of packets to the mt76 driver. Import this into mac80211 so we can use it for airtime queue limit calculations. The airtime.c file is copied verbatim from the mt76 driver, and adjusted to be usable in mac80211. This involves: - Switching to mac80211 data structures. - Adding support for 160 MHz channels and HE mode. - Moving the symbol and duration calculations around a bit to avoid rounding with the higher rates and longer symbol times used for HE rates. The per-rate TX rate calculation is also split out to its own function so it can be used directly for the AQL calculations later.

2019-11-08mac80211: Shrink the size of ack_frame_id to make room for tx_time_estToke Høiland-Jørgensen
To implement airtime queue limiting, we need to keep a running account of the estimated airtime of all skbs queued into the device. Do to this correctly, we need to store the airtime estimate into the skb so we can decrease the outstanding balance when the skb is freed. This means that the time estimate must be stored somewhere that will survive for the lifetime of the skb. To get this, decrease the size of the ack_frame_id field to 6 bits, and lower the size of the ID space accordingly. This leaves 10 bits for use for tx_time_est, which is enough to store a maximum of 4096 us, if we shift the values so they become units of 4us.

There really is no need to make drivers call the ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() function and then schedule the worker if all we want is to set a bit. Add a new return value (that was previously considered invalid) to indicate that the driver is immediately ready for the session, and make drivers use it. The only drivers that remain different are the Intel ones as they need to negotiate more with the firmware.

2019-04-08mac80211: make ieee80211_schedule_txq schedule empty TXQsFelix Fietkau
Currently there is no way for the driver to signal to mac80211 that it should schedule a TXQ even if there are no packets on the mac80211 part of that queue. This is problematic if the driver has an internal retry queue to deal with software A-MPDU retry. This patch changes the behavior of ieee80211_schedule_txq to always schedule the queue, as its only user (ath9k) seems to expect such behavior already: it calls this function on tx status and on powersave wakeup whenever its internal retry queue is not empty. Also add an extra argument to ieee80211_return_txq to get the same behavior. This fixes an issue on ath9k where tx queues with packets to retry (and no new packets in mac80211) would not get serviced.

2019-01-19mac80211: Add airtime accounting and scheduling to TXQsToke 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. The API ieee80211_txq_may_transmit() also ensures that TXQ list will be aligned aginst driver's own round-robin scheduler list. i.e it rotates the TXQ list till it makes the requested node becomes the first entry in TXQ list. Thus both the TXQ list and driver's list are in sync.

2019-01-19mac80211: Add TXQ scheduling APIToke 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.

This is because of backward compatibility between 11ah and 11ax. In order to simplify the flow for the low level driver in managed mode, aggregate the two bits and add a boolean that tells whether TWT is supported or not, but only if 11ax is supported.

2018-12-18mac80211: document RCU requirements for ieee80211_tx_dequeue()Johannes Berg
In the iwlwifi conversion, we sometimes call this from outside of the wake_tx_queue() method, and in those cases must be in an RCU critical section. Document this requirement.

2018-11-09mac80211: allow hardware scan to fall back to softwareJohannes Berg
In some cases, like in the rsi driver hardware scan offload, there may be scenarios in which hardware scan might not be available or desirable. Allow drivers to cope with this by letting them fall back to software scan by returning the special value 1 from the hardware scan method.

2018-11-09mac80211: allow drivers to use peer measurement APIJohannes Berg
There's nothing much for mac80211 to do, so only pass through the requests with minimal checks and tracing. The driver must call cfg80211's results APIs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2018-10-12mac80211: implement ieee80211_tx_rate_update to update rateAnilkumar Kolli
Current mac80211 has provision to update tx status through ieee80211_tx_status() and ieee80211_tx_status_ext(). But drivers like ath10k updates the tx status from the skb except txrate, txrate will be updated from a different path, peer stats. Using ieee80211_tx_status_ext() in two different paths (one for the stats, one for the tx rate) would duplicate the stats instead. To avoid this stats duplication, ieee80211_tx_rate_update() is implemented.

2018-09-05mac80211: add an option for station management TXQSara Sharon
We have a TXQ abstraction for non-data packets that need powersave buffering. Since the AP cannot sleep, in case of station we can use this TXQ for all management frames, regardless if they are bufferable. Add HW flag to allow that.
