MCS9 introduces some corner cases in the current rs algorithm which may lead to non optimal throughput and instability in the throughput. Until all the corner cases are resolved disable MCS9 for Tx as a workaround which yields better throughput results as MCS8 is much more stable.

Fix a regression introduced in "iwlwifi: mvm: fix ht protection flags" where an AP/IBSS MAC context could have been updated even before the context was added to the FW.

The logs are emitted in a flow in which there were retries and the rates in the rate table entry didn't match the active or search table. This doesn't indicate a problem and is expected in most cases where there will be retries for some reason. Remove the logs.

Simplify the code a bit more by extracting the rates table building logic into a separate function and handle setting a fixed rate for debug in a separate flow. Also avoid using and saving ucode rate format in different places. Instead use rs_rate struct and convert to ucode format only when filling the rates table in the LQ command.

In case a sync command timeouts or Tx is stuck while a FW error interrupt arrives, we might call iwl_op_mode_nic_error twice before a restart has been initiated. This will cause a reprobe. Unify calls to this function at the transport level and only call it on the first FW error in a given by checking the transport FW error flag. While at it, remove the privately defined iwl_nic_error from PCIE code and use the common callback instead.

The stop_hw trans callback is not well defined. It is missing in many cleanup flows and the division of labor between stop_device/stop_hw is cumbersome. Remove stop_hw and use stop_device to perform both. Implement this for all current transports. PCIE needs some extra configuration the op-mode is leaving to configure RF kill. Expose this explicitly as a new op_mode_leave trans callback. Take the call to stop_device outside iwl_run_mvm_init_ucode, this makes more sense and WARN when we want to run the INIT firmware while it has run already.

FW still does not support power management on multiple MAC interfaces. Currently the driver enforce this limitation by disabling PM if second interface is added.

Send firmware a Smart FIFO Configuration host command to allow interrupt coalescing. The smart FIFO is enabled when there is only one bound interface (other than p2p devices which are ignored) and it is of type station, and activated while the station is associated. Smart Fifo allows aggragations of DMA transactions and by that causes processor and memory controller to stay for a longer time on lower c-states, thus saving platform power. Firmware relies on driver to activate and disable it. Signed-off-by: Lilach Edelstein <lilach.edelstein@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>

Products that have only 1 antenna in Rx don't support MIMO in RX. As a consequence, they will be in STATIC always. Don't tell mac80211 to update SMPS in that case. mac80211 would send an action frame to the AP which is clearly bogus. As a matter of fact, we have seen that some APs send a deauth when that happens.

Rewrite the search cycle state machine to use a more data oriented approach where the different Tx columns (configs) limitations and next columns to search are reprsented in tables which are easy to change. This overhaul also includes several major fixes: 1. Prevent going back to a specific Tx column in a search cycle if it was already explored. 2. Avoid switching to a Tx column that doesn't have any chance if it performs perfectly to beat the current throughput we're getting. These issues were degrading throughput as they were causing switching to "bad" Tx columns. Signed-off-by: Eyal Shapira <eyal@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>

The table rs_ht_to_legacy is used to get the next legacy rate following the last HT or VHT rate in the LQ rates table. The mapping wasn't correct as well as didn't include entries for MCS8/9 which led to out of bounds access. This didn't trigger a crash but led to legacy rate entries using 1Mbps rate. In 5Ghz this probably caused the Tx to fail completely given that Tx attempt would have reached the legacy entries and 1Mbps isn't valid.
