commit 7a0adc83 ("ath10k: improve tx scheduling") is causing severe throughput drop in multi client mode. This issue is originally reported in veriwave setup with 50 clients with TCP downlink traffic. While increasing number of clients, the average throughput drops gradually. With 50 clients, the combined peak throughput is decreased to 98 Mbps whereas reverting given commit restored it to 550 Mbps. Processing txqs for every tx completion is causing overhead. Ideally for management frame tx completion, pending txqs processing can be avoided. The change partly reverts the commit "ath10k: improve tx scheduling". Processing pending txqs after all skbs tx completion will yeild enough room to burst tx frames.

Add NAPI support for rx and tx completion. NAPI poll is scheduled from interrupt handler. The design is as below - on interrupt - schedule napi and mask interrupts - on poll - process all pipes (no actual Tx/Rx) - process Rx within budget - if quota exceeds budget reschedule napi poll by returning budget - process Tx completions and update budget if necessary - process Tx fetch indications (pull-push) - push any other pending Tx (if possible) - before resched or napi completion replenish htt rx ring buffer - if work done < budget, complete napi poll and unmask interrupts This change also get rid of two tasklets (intr_tq and txrx_compl_task). Measured peak throughput with NAPI on IPQ4019 platform in controlled environment. No noticeable reduction in throughput is seen and also observed improvements in CPU usage. Approx. 15% CPU usage got reduced in UDP uplink case.

Older firmware with HTT delivers incorrect tx status for null func frames to driver, but this fixed in 10.2 and 10.4 firmware versions. Also this workaround results in reporting of incorrect null func status for 10.4. Fix this is by introducing a firmware feature flag for 10.4 so that this workaround is skipped and proper tx status for null func frames are reported Signed-off-by: Tamizh chelvam <c_traja@qti.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qti.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

Commit 97f2645f ("tree-wide: replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED()") mostly did away with config_enabled(). This is one of the postponed TODO items as config_enabled() is used for a tristate option here. Theoretically, config_enabled() is equivalent to IS_BUILTIN(), but I guess IS_REACHABLE() is the best fit for this case because both CONFIG_HWMON and CONFIG_ATH10K are tristate.

In the wake tx queue path, we are not checking if the frame to be sent takes management path or not. For eg. QOS null func frame coming here will take the management path. Since we are not incrementing the descriptor counter (num_pending_mgmt_tx) w.r.t tx management, on tx completion it is possible to see negative values. When the above counter reaches a negative value, we will not be sending a probe response out. if (is_presp && ar->hw_params.max_probe_resp_desc_thres < htt->num_pending_mgmt_tx) For IPQ4019, max_probe_resp_desc_thres (u32) is 24 is compared against num_pending_mgmt_tx (int) and the above condtions comes true if the counter is negative and we drop the probe response. To avoid this, check on the wake tx queue path as well for the tx path of the frame and increment the appropriate counters Fixes: cac08552 "ath10k: move mgmt descriptor limit handle under mgmt_tx" Signed-off-by: Ashok Raj Nagarajan <arnagara@qti.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

txqs_lock is interfering with wake_tx_queue submitting more frames. so queues don't get filled in and don't keep firmware/hardware busy enough. This change helps to reduce the txqs_lock contention and wake_tx_queue() blockage to being possible in txrx_unref(). To reduce turn around time of wake_tx_queue ops and to maintain fairness among all txqs, the callback is updated to push first txq alone from pending list for every wake_tx_queue call. Remaining txqs will be processed later upon tx completion. Below improvements are observed in push-only mode and validated on IPQ4019 platform. With this change, in AP mode ~10Mbps increase is observed in downlink (AP -> STA) traffic and approx. 5-10% of CPU usage is reduced. Major improvement is observed in 1-hop Mesh mode topology in 11ACVHT80. Compared to Infra mode, CPU overhead is higher in Mesh mode due to path lookup and no fast-xmit support. So reducing spin lock contention is helping in Mesh.

Currently the places that check wil->scan_request and call cfg80211_scan_done are not consistently protected, so there is a risk that cfg80211_scan_done will be called with NULL scan_request, causing a kernel crash. Fix this by using p2p_wdev_mutex in few other places that access scan_request. This makes sense since scan_request may point to p2p_wdev, and it is not worth the extra complexity of adding a new mutex.

HW Rx filters and masks are not configured properly by firmware during boot sequences. The MAC_PCU_ADDR1 is set to 0s instead of 1s which allows the HW to ACK any frame that passes through MAC_PCU_RX_FILTER. The MAC_PCU_RX_FILTER itself is misconfigured on boot as well. The combination of these bugs ended up with the following manifestations: - "no channel configured; ignoring frame(s)!" warnings in the driver - spurious ACKs (transmission) on the air during firmware bootup sequences The former was a long standing and known bug originally though mostly harmless. However Marek recently discovered that this problem also involves ACKing *all* frames the HW receives (including beacons ;). Such frames are delivered to host and generate the former warning as well. This could be a problem with regulatory compliance in some rare cases (e.g. Taiwan which forbids transmissions on channel 36 which is the default bootup channel on 5Ghz band cards). The good news is that it'd require someone else to violate regulatory first to coerce our device to generate and transmit an ACK. The problem could be reproduced in a rather busy environment that has a lot of APs. The likelihood could be increased by injecting an msleep() of 5000 or longer immediately after ath10k_htt_setup() in ath10k_core_start(). The reason why the former warnings were only showing up seldom is because the device was either quickly reset again (i.e. during firmware probing) or wmi vdev was created (which fixes hw and fw states). It is technically possible for host driver to override adequate hw registers however this can't work reliably because the bug root cause lies in incorrect firmware state on boot (internal structure used to program MAC_PCU_ADDR1 is not properly initialized) and only vdev create/delete events can fix it. This is why the patch takes dummy vdev approach. This could be fixed in firmware as well but having this fixed in driver is more robust, most notably when thinking of users of older firmware such as 999.999.0.636.

Currently wiphy structure is initialized and registered in wil_if_alloc, before some information is available such as MAC address and capabilities. As a result there is a small chance user space will get incorrect information from calls such as NL80211_CMD_GET_WIPHY.

Change the logging category of HALP functions from MISC to IRQ, since the HALP mechanism is closely related to interrupts.

Tom Herbert says: ==================== strp: Stream parser for messages This patch set introduces a utility for parsing application layer protocol messages in a TCP stream. This is a generalization of the mechanism implemented of Kernel Connection Multiplexor. This patch set adapts KCM to use the strparser. We expect that kTLS can use this mechanism also. RDS would probably be another candidate to use a common stream parsing mechanism. The API includes a context structure, a set of callbacks, utility functions, and a data ready function. The callbacks include a parse_msg function that is called to perform parsing (e.g. BPF parsing in case of KCM), and a rcv_msg function that is called when a full message has been completed. For strparser we specify the return codes from the parser to allow the backend to indicate that control of the socket should be transferred back to userspace to handle some exceptions in the stream: The return values are: >0 : indicates length of successfully parsed message 0 : indicates more data must be received to parse the message -ESTRPIPE : current message should not be processed by the kernel, return control of the socket to userspace which can proceed to read the messages itself other < 0 : Error is parsing, give control back to userspace assuming that synchronization is lost and the stream is unrecoverable (application expected to close TCP socket) There is one issue I haven't been able to fully resolve. If parse_msg returns ESTRPIPE (wants control back to userspace) the parser may already have consumed some bytes of the message. There is no way to put bytes back into the TCP receive queue and tcp_read_sock does not allow an easy way to peek messages. In lieu of a better solution, we return ENODATA on the socket to indicate that the data stream is unrecoverable (application needs to close socket). This condition should only happen if an application layer message header is split across two skbuffs and parsing just the first skbuff wasn't sufficient to determine the that transfer to userspace is needed. This patch set contains: - strparser implementation - changes to kcm to use strparser - strparser.txt documentation v2: - Add copyright notice to C files - Remove GPL module license from strparser.c - Add report of rxpause v3: - Restore GPL module license - Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL v4: - Removed unused function, changed another to be static as suggested by davem - Rewoked data_ready to be called from upper layer, no longer requires taking over socket data_ready callback as suggested by Lance Chao Tested: - Ran a KCM thrash test for 24 hours. No behavioral or performance differences observed. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
