Introduce the cmd and events definitions for 10.X FW API and make up the wmi_10x_cmd_map. This is the core of host-firmware WMI interface for 10.X FW branch. Signed-off-by: Bartosz Markowski <bartosz.markowski@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

This is the initial framework to implement dynamic WMI API in order to support new firmware (from so called 10.X branch) The realization is to have a static WMI cmd map for each of the firmwares, registered upom wmi init. This patch creates such map for MAIN FW, updates wmi_cmd_send() calls to take as a parameter the map value instead of direct WMI enum. As soon as complete 10.X API will be on place, we will introduce the FW IE mechanics to dynamicaly identify which FW is being used and based on that we will use correct map, API, structures, etc. Signed-off-by: Bartosz Markowski <bartosz.markowski@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

Following sequence causes FW crash: -monitor vdev up, -monitor vdev stop, -monitor vdev delete. Making monitor vdev down before stoping it works ok: -monitor vdev up, -monitor vdev down, -monitor vdev stop, -monitor vdev delete.

This starves FW RX ring buffer in case of excessive RX. This prevents from CPU being overwhelmed by RX indications/completions by naturally forbiddin FW to submit more RX. This fixes RX starvation on slow machines when under heavy RX traffic. kvalo: remove extra newline Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

Ethernet-like decapping mode leaves IP protocol frame not aligned to 4-byte boundaries. This leads to re-aligning in mac80211 which in turn leads to poor CPU cache behaviour on some machines. Since HW doesn't allow to change payload offset properly the solution is to force HW to decap in Native Wifi mode which always has 24-bytes long 802.11 header (even for QoS frames). This means IP frame is properly aligned in this decap mode. Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

NWifi decap mode always reports 802.11 Data Frames, even when QoS Data Frames are actually received. This made mac80211 not report frame priority properly (since there was no QoS Control field).

HW reports each A-MSDU subframe as a separate sk_buff. It is impossible to configure it to behave differently. Until now ath10k was reconstructing A-MSDUs from subframes which involved a lot of memory operations. This proved to be a significant contributor to degraded RX performance.

Instead of allocating sk_buff for a mere 16-byte tx fragment list buffer use headroom of the original msdu sk_buff. This decreases CPU cache pressure and improves performance. Measured improvement on AP135 is 560mbps -> 590mbps of UDP TX briding traffic. Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

Until now the all MSDU transfer related structures were freed when all resources were unreferenced. Now HTC transfer is freed independently and HTT transfer is so too. This yields a way more simpler ath10k_skb_cb and should possibly enable parallel pipe processing (which is now serialized in ath10k_pci_process_ce routine).

Commit e9bb0aa3 ("ath10k: delete struct ce_sendlist") broke num_sends_allowed incrementing. num_sends_allowed exceeded initial values and could overflow. This code was supposed to replenish num_sends_allowed for partial sendlist items (i.e. before final sendlist item from a sendlist was completed and could be processed by completion handlers). Fortunately it seems it did not cause any major breakage, yet. Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

The patch prevents beacon misses in some case of heavy load on a system. If a beacon can't be transmitted directly from an SWBA event it will be left in arvif->beacon and transmission will be retried once TX credits become available.

The patch removes HTC endpoint tx workers in favour of direct command submission. This makes a lot more sense for data path. mac80211 queues are effectively stopped/woken up in a more timely fashion preventing build up of frames. It's possible to push more traffic than the device/system is able to handle and have no hiccups or performance degradation with UDP traffic. WMI commands will now report errors properly and possibly block as they actively can wait for tx credits to become available.

This will be necessary for further changes in command submission scheme. Once HTC is cleaned up WMI commands will finally block. This requires for SWBA to be processed in a non-atomic context for now. Once other necessary changes are in this will be reverted.

The peer PHY mode for 11ac operation needs to be determined properly based on the channel bandwidth being used. Fix this so that the proper mode is given to the firmware. kvalo: earlier we used 11na-ht20 in STA mode for 11ac AP peer, this patch changes that to 11ac-vht80. I didn't notice any change in throughput in my tests, but nevertheless it's the right thing to do.

The double while() could end up running forever. Inner while() would complete very fast. However the completion processing could take enough time for more completions to flow in. In that case the outer while() would not terminate and run again, and again. This could happen especially on a slow host system. This could lead to a system freeze during heavy traffic. Note: this doesn't solve all known starvation issues yet. Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>
