# 10c65f97 09-Oct-2023 Jeff Johnson <quic_jjohnson@quicinc.com>

wifi: ath11k: Introduce and use ath11k_sta_to_arsta()

Currently, the logic to return an ath11k_sta pointer, given a
ieee80211_sta pointer, uses typecasting throughout the driver. In
general, conversion functions are preferable to typecasting since
using a conversion function allows the compiler to validate the types
of both the input and output parameters.

ath11k already defines a conversion function ath11k_vif_to_arvif() for
a similar conversion. So introduce ath11k_sta_to_arsta() for this use
case, and convert all of the existing typecasting to use this
function.

No functional changes, compile tested only.

wifi: ath11k: remove manual mask names from debug messages

Now that the previous patch changed ath11k_dbg() to print the debug level
there's no need to have the level in the actual message anymore. So remove those.

wifi: ath11k: fix SAC bug on peer addition with sta band migration

Fix sleep in atomic context warning detected by Smatch static checker
analyzer.

Following the locking pattern for peer_rhash_add lock tbl_mtx_lock mutex
always even if sta is not transitioning to another band.
This is peer_add function and a more secure locking should not cause
performance regression.

wifi: ath11k: fix peer addition/deletion error on sta band migration

This patch try to fix the following error.

To repro this:
- Have 2 Wifi with the same bssid and pass on different band (2.4 and
5GHz)
- Enable 802.11r Fast Transaction with same mobility domain
- FT Protocol: FT over the Air
From a openwrt system issue the command (with the correct mac)
ubus call hostapd.wlan1 wnm_disassoc_imminent '{"addr":"28:C2:1F:xx:xx:xx"}'
Notice the log printing the errors.

The cause of this error has been investigated and we found that this is
related to the WiFi Fast Transaction feature. We observed that this is
triggered when the router tells the device to change band. In this case
the device first auth to the other band and then the disconnect path
from the prev band is triggered.
This is problematic with the current rhash implementation since the
addrs is used as key and the logic of "adding first, delete later"
conflicts with the rhash logic.
In fact peer addition will fail since the peer is already added and with
that fixed a peer deletion will cause unitended effect by removing the
peer just added.

Current solution to this is to add additional logic to the peer delete,
make sure we are deleting the correct peer taken from the rhash
table (and fallback to the peer list) and for the peer add logic delete
the peer entry for the rhash list before adding the new one (counting as
an error only when a peer with the same vlan_id is asked to be added).

With this change, a sta can correctly transition from 2.4GHz and 5GHZ
with no drop and no error are printed.

ath11k: Add peer rhash table support

When more clients (128) are connected, the UL data traffic
KPI measurement is low compared to single client. This issue
is due to more CPU cycles spent on the peer lookup operation
with more clients. So reduce the peer lookup operation by
modifying the linear based lookup operation into the rhash
based lookup operation. This improve the peak throughput
measurement. Since this is a software algorithm change, it is
applicable for all the platforms.

TCP UL 128 Clients test case Observation (64bit system):
Previous: ~550 Mbps
Now : ~860 Mbps

ath11k: Refactor the fallback routine when peer create fails

When there is an error in peer create process from
ath11k_peer_find(), the code attempts to handle a fallback
for peer create. When this fallback fails, the driver returns
the fallback return code rather than actual error code
(-ENOENT). So refactor the fallback routine to return
the actual error code.

ath11k: fix 4addr multicast packet tx

In 4addr, AP wired backbone to STA wired backbone ping fails due to ARP
request not getting answered. Here 4addr ARP multicast packet is sent in
3addr, so that 4addr STA not honouring the 3addr ARP multicast packet.
Fix this issue by sending out multicast packet in 4addr format, firmware
expects peer meta flag instead of vdev meta flag in Tx descriptor.

ath11k: Update tx descriptor search index properly

Tx descriptor search index field should be updated with hw peer id
and not by AST Hash as per the HW/FW recommendation. Incorrect search
index causes throughput degradation in all scenario for all the
platforms. so updated the search index field with hw peer id, which
is a common change applicable for all the platforms. Also no need of these
configuration for non station type. seen 10% throughput increase in WDS
traffic with this change.

ath11k: start vdev if a bss peer is already created

For QCA6390, bss peer must be created before vdev is to start. This
change is to start vdev if a bss peer is created. Otherwise, ath11k
delays to start vdev.

This fixes an issue in a case where HT/VHT/HE settings change between
authentication and association, e.g., due to the user space request
to disable HT.

ath11k: fix duplication peer create on same radio

Add the pdev index information in the peer object to validate
the peer creation. Ignore the peer creation request, if the given
MAC address is already present in the peer list with same radio.
If we allow the peer creation in above scenario, FW assert will happen.
Above scenario occurred in two cases, where Multiple AP VAP created in
the same radio.

1. when testing tool sends association request to two AP with same
MAC address
2. when a station do roaming from one AP VAP to another AP VAP.

# acc79d98 17-Mar-2020 Sriram R <srirrama@codeaurora.org>

ath11k: Perform per-msdu rx processing

As Hash based reo destination selection is configured,
the decapped packets reach different reo destintion rings
based on the destintaion ring selected for the computed hash (based on
the 5-tuple {ip src/ip dst/src port/dst port/protocol}) by hw and
as configured by driver.

Hence the current implementation of amsdu list based processing after all
the subframes of amsdu are received (since all msdu's for a pdev are
received in same reo dest ring), is not applicable here and hence is
replaced with per msdu based handling as these subframes
can be received in different reo dest rings.

Also, as some of the rx descriptor fields might be valid only for the
first msdu (for ex. received 80211 header, encryption type, etc),
it might not be useful now as we cannot sync between different
subframes received in different rings. Hence do not rely on those
fields and replace them with fieds valid only on per msdu descriptors.
Also cache other details such as encryption type for a peer so that
it can be reused when a packet is received from it.

ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices

ath11k is a new driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices, first
supporting only IPQ8074 SoC using the shared memory AHB bus. ath11k
uses mac80211 and supports AP, Station and Mesh modes.

Even though ath11k has some similar code as with ath10k (especially
the WMI layer) it was concluded to be simpler to have a "clean start"
for ath11k code base and not try to share the code with ath10k. This
makes maintenance easier and avoids major changes in ath10k, which
would have significantly increased the risk of regressions in existing
setups.

Even though the driver is very similar with ath10k but there are major
differences as well. The datapath is completely different. ath11k
supports multiple MACs, called "soc" in the firmware interface. And
there's only one WMI interface to support.

Currently ath11k supports only IEEE 802.11ac mode, but patches for
802.11ax are available and they will be submitted after ath11k is
accepted to upstream.

The firmware images are available from ath11k-firmware repository but
they will be also submitted to linux-firmware:

https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmware

This was tested with firmware version WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-00629-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1.

The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabetical
order below.
