8822C is a 2x2 11ac chip, and then NSS must be less or equal to 2. However, current nss of hw cap is 3, likes hw cap: hci=0x0f, bw=0x07, ptcl=0x03, ant_num=7, nss=3 This commit adds constraint to make sure NSS <= rf_path_num, and result looks like hw cap: hci=0x0f, bw=0x07, ptcl=0x03, ant_num=7, nss=2 Fixes: e3037485 ("rtw88: new Realtek 802.11ac driver") Signed-off-by: Ping-Ke Shih <pkshih@realtek.com> Signed-off-by: Yan-Hsuan Chuang <yhchuang@realtek.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>

It's better to print firmware version at load time. But since we need to set debug_mask properly to default print rtw_dbg(), raise the debug level to rtw_info() instead. Also change the multiple line style to one line only, it will be easier for log analyzing. Signed-off-by: Yan-Hsuan Chuang <yhchuang@realtek.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>

Set CWmax/CWmin, TXOP and AIFS according to ieee80211_tx_queue_params. Do note that hardware has only one group of EDCA[ac] registers, if more than one vif are added, the EDCA[ac] registers will contain value of params of the most recent set by ieee80211_ops::conf_tx(). And AIFS = AIFSN[ac] * slot_time + SIFS, so if use_short_slot is changed, need to also change AIFS.

The value of GET_RX_DESC_SWDEC() indicates that if this RX packet requires software decryption or not. And software decryption is required when the packet was encrypted and the hardware failed to decrypt it. So, GET_RX_DESC_SWDEC() is negative does not mean that this packet is decrypted, it might just have no encryption at all. To actually see if the packet is decrypted, driver needs to further check if the hardware has successfully decrypted it, with a specific type of encryption algorithm.

When downloading the reserved page, the first page always contains a beacon for the firmware to reference. For non-beaconing modes such as station mode, also put a blank skb with length=1. And for the beaconing modes, driver will get a real beacon with a length approximate to the page size. But as the beacon is always put at the first page, it does not need a tx_desc, because the TX path will generate one when TXing the reserved page to the hardware. So we could allocate a buffer with a size smaller than the reserved page, when using memcpy() to copy the content of reserved page to the buffer, the over-sized reserved page will violate the kernel memory. To fix it, add the tx_desc before memcpy() the reserved packets to the buffer, then we can get SKBs with correct length when counting the pages in total. And for page 0, count the extra tx_desc_sz that the TX path will generate. This way, the first beacon that allocated without tx_desc can be counted with the extra tx_desc_sz to get actual pages it requires.

Sometimes mac80211 will ask us to flush the hardware queues. To flush them, first we need to get the corresponding priority queues from the RQPN mapping table. Then we can check the available pages are equal to the originally reserved pages, which means the hardware has returned all of the pages it used to transmit. Note that now we only check for 100 ms for the priority queue, but sometimes if we have a lot of traffic (ex. 100Mbps up), some of the packets could be dropped.

Based on the mac80211's TXQ implementation, TX-AMSDU can be used to get higher MAC efficiency. To make mac80211 aggregate MSDUs, low level driver just need to leave skbs in the TXQ, and mac80211 will try to aggregate them if possible. As driver will schedule a tasklet when the TX queue is woke, until the tasklet being served, there will have some skbs in the queue if traffic is heavy. Driver can control the max AMSDU size depending on the current bit rate used by hardware/firmware. The higher rates are used, the larger AMSDU size can be. It is tested that can achieve higher T-Put at higher rates. If the environment is relatively clean, and the bit_rate is high enough, we can get about 80Mbps improvement. For lower bit rates, not much gain can we get, so leave the max_amsdu length low to prevent aggregation.

Whenever the firmware increases/decreases the bit rate used to transmit to a peer, it sends an RA report through C2H to driver. Driver can then record the bit rate in the peer's struct rtw_sta_info, and report to mac80211 when it asks us for the statistics of the sta by ieee80211_ops::sta_statistics Signed-off-by: Tzu-En Huang <tehuang@realtek.com> Signed-off-by: Yan-Hsuan Chuang <yhchuang@realtek.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>

We can indicate IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL to mac80211 because the hardware has its own rate control algorithm. And what driver needs to do is to choose an RA mask according the peer's capabilities. But the hardware is not able to setup BA session by itself. So driver requires to initiate tx BA session for hardware, and tells it if it is possible to transmit AMPDU. The hardware can then aggregate MPDUs. And the size of AMPDU is controlled by the TX descriptor and the register value. Since the TX descriptor will reference the max AMPDU size from ieee80211_sta::ht_cap::ampdu_factor, just set the register value to 0x3f, and let it be controlled by TX descriptor.

The mac80211 provides software TX queue for driver, as long as driver has hooked ieee80211_ops::wake_tx_queue. Each time a packet is queued onto the TX queue, that queue will be woken up the inform driver to serve the queue. Now driver only supports PCI interface ICs, there's no specific traffic control for each queue, just schedule a tasklet, and dump all of the packets at once to the DMA ring. Instead of TX the packets whenever TX queue is woke, tasklet handler can have more packets dumped to the device, takes advantage of burst write with DMA engine. And if the driver is going to support USB/SDIO ICs, the tasklet can be more flexible for aggregating the packets, enhance the efficiency of bandwidth usage.

Allows driver to send RTS by filling tx descriptor. The user may want to set the rts threshold. But since we have not been taking over rate control from mac80211 to driver by setting flag IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL, there is nothing we can do about it. So here just store the value, and mac80211 will tell us to use rts protection by ieee80211_tx_info::control::use_rts.

Driver needs to wait for firmware to restore hardware setting to active mode after leaving lps. After getting H2C from driver for leaving lps, firmware will issue null packet without PS bit to inform AP driver is active, and then restore REG_TCR Register if AP has receiced null packet. But the transmission of null packet may cost much more time in noisy environment. If driver does not wait for firmware, null packet with PS bit could be sent due to incorrect REG_TCR setting. And AP will be confused. In our test, 100ms is enough for firmware to send null packet to AP. If REG_TCR Register is still wrong after 100ms, we will modify it directly, force the PS bit to be cleared Signed-off-by: Chin-Yen Lee <timlee@realtek.com> Signed-off-by: Yan-Hsuan Chuang <yhchuang@realtek.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>

memcpy() in wmi_set_ie() and wmi_update_ft_ies() is called with src == NULL and len == 0. This is an undefined behavior. Fix it by checking "ie_len > 0" before the memcpy() calls. As suggested by GCC documentation: "The pointers passed to memmove (and similar functions in <string.h>) must be non-null even when nbytes==0, so GCC can use that information to remove the check after the memmove call."

When hardware rfkill is enabled in the firmware it will report the capability via using WMI_TLV_SYS_CAP_INFO_RFKILL bit in the WMI_SERVICE_READY event to the host. ath10k will check the capability, and if it is enabled then ath10k will set the GPIO information to firmware using WMI_PDEV_SET_PARAM. When the firmware detects hardware rfkill is enabled by the user, it will report it via WMI_RFKILL_STATE_CHANGE_EVENTID. Once ath10k receives the event it will send wmi command WMI_PDEV_SET_PARAM to the firmware to enable/disable the radio and also notifies cfg80211. We can't power off the device when rfkill is enabled, as otherwise the firmware would not be able to detect GPIO changes and report them to the host. So when rfkill is enabled, we need to keep the firmware running. Tested with QCA6174 PCI with firmware WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00109-QCARMSWPZ-1.

I think this is because the tx-offchannel logic gets in a loop when ath10k_mac_tx_frm_has_freq(ar) is false, so pkt is never actually sent to the firmware for transmit. This patch fixes the problem on 4.9 for me, and now HS20 clients can work again with my firmware.

The module parameter rtw_fw_support_lps is misleading. It is not used to represent the firmware's property, but to determine if driver wants to ask firmware to enter LPS. However, driver should better enable/disable PS through cfg80211_ops::set_power_mgmt instead. For example, one could use iw command to set PS state. $ sudo iw wlanX set power_save [on/off] So rtw_fw_support_lps should be removed because it is misleading and useless. Instead of checking the parameter, set PS mode according to IEEE80211_CONF_PS. Signed-off-by: Yan-Hsuan Chuang <yhchuang@realtek.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>

Add a module parameter to select deep PS mode. And the mode cannot be changed after the module has been inserted and probed. If anyone wants to change the deep mode, should change the mode and probe the device again to setup the changed deep mode. When the device is probed, driver will check the deep PS mode with different IC's PS mode suppotability. If none of the PS mode is matched, the deep PS mode is changed to NONE, means deep PS is disabled.

Deep power save allows firmware/hardware to operate in a lower power state. And the deep power save mode depends on LPS mode. So, before entering deep PS, driver must first enter LPS mode. Under Deep PS, most of hardware functions are shutdown, driver will not be able to read/write registers and transfer data to the device. Hence TX path must be protected by each interface. Take PCI for example, DMA engine should be idle, and no nore activities on the PCI bus. If driver wants to operate on the device, such as register read/write, it must first acquire the mutex lock and wake up from Deep PS, otherwise the behavior is undefined.

The original design of LPS enter/leave routines allows to control the LPS state by each interface. But the hardware cannot actually handle it that way. This means the hardware can only enter LPS once with an associated port, so there is no need to keep tracking the state of each vif. Hence the logic of enter/leave LPS state can be simple, just to check the state of the device's flag. And for leaving LPS state, it will get the same port id to send to inform the hardware.

Remove PS related *_irqsafe functions to avoid entering/leaving PS under interrupt context. Instead, make PS decision in watch_dog. This could simplify the logic and make the code look clean. But it could have a little side-effect that if the driver is having heavy traffic before the every-2-second watch_dog detect the traffic and decide to leave PS, the thoughput will be lower. Once traffic is detected by watch_dog and left PS state, the throughput will resume to the peak the hardware ought to have again.
