It was observed few times, the artificial max_scan limit we are using mainly to detect FW hangs, can be not enough for instance while being associated and during heavy traffic. What we do if the FW won't return with scan results within the max_time time is a scan abort. This is especially visible with 10.X fw which in combination with dual band HW (scanning 32 channels) can end up with hw_scan close to 10 seconds.

Firmware IE containers can dynamically provide various information what firmware supports. Also it can embed more than one image so updating firmware is easy, user just needs to update one file in /lib/firmware/. The firmware API 2 or higher will use the IE container format, the current API 1 will not use the new format but it still is supported for some time. FW API 2 files are named as firmware-2.bin (which contains both firmware and otp images) and API 1 files are firmware.bin and otp.bin. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

Both firmwares (main and 10.x) have different set of vdev parameters. To stay in sync with FW API, this patch introduces a dynamic registering method. ath10k_wmi_vdev_set_param() takes now indirect u32 value to identify the Vdev parameter it want's to set.

Due to API differences in initialization structures for main and 10.x firmwares we need to split the wmi_init_cmd and wmi_resource_config structures. This will be usefull also when setting the correct TARGET values, like: number of peers, vdevs, pdevs etc. Signed-off-by: Bartosz Markowski <bartosz.markowski@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

This is still the only way to submit mgmt frames in case of 10.X firmware. This patch introduces wmi_mgmt_tx queue, because of the fact WMI command can block. This is a problem for ath10k_tx_htt(), since it's called from atomic context. The skb queue and worker are introduced to move the mgmt frame handling out of .tx callback context and not block.

10.X firmware can request a memory pool from host to offload it's own resources. This is a feature designed especially for AP mode where the target has to deal with large number of peers. So we allocate and map a consistent DMA memory which FW can use to store e.g. peer rate contol maps.

It was corrupted and leading to compilation warning core.c: In function 'ath10k_check_fw_version': core.c:79: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type Since we are going to support new FW track in the driver, the sanity check for fw version number would be an overkill then.

Since the both firmwares we are going to support, have significantly different APIs (WMI and shared structures), it's easier to actually split the whole event handling functions, instead cutting them inside.

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.

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>

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 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.
