wifi: ath11k: fix a possible dead lock caused by ab->base_lock

spin_lock()/spin_unlock() are used in ath11k_reg_chan_list_event() to
acquire/release ab->base_lock. For now this is safe because that
function is only called in soft IRQ context.

But ath11k_reg_chan_list_event() will be called from process
context in an upcoming patch, and this can result in a deadlock if
ab->base_lock is acquired in process context and then soft IRQ occurs
on the same CPU and tries to acquire that lock.

Fix it by using spin_lock_bh() and spin_unlock_bh() instead.

wifi: ath11k: add parsing of phy bitmap for reg rules

Certain regulatory domains could put restrictions on phy mode operation.
For example, in a few countries HE Operation is not allowed. For such
countries, firmware indicates this via phy bitmap in each reg rule.

Currently, there is no logic to parse this info and then pass it on to the
cfg80211/regulatory.

Add parsing of this phy bitmap from the regulatory channel change event and
then accordingly map it to cfg80211/regulatory flags and pass it on to it.

While at it, correct typo in debug print s/dsf/dfs.

wifi: ath11k: avoid deadlock during regulatory update in ath11k_regd_update()

Running this test in a loop it is easy to reproduce an rtnl deadlock:

iw reg set FI
ifconfig wlan0 down

What happens is that thread A (workqueue) tries to update the regulatory:

try to acquire the rtnl_lock of ar->regd_update_work

rtnl_lock+0x17/0x20
ath11k_regd_update+0x15a/0x260 [ath11k]

worker_thread+0x4d/0x440

And thread B (ifconfig) tries to stop the interface:

try to cancel_work_sync(&ar->regd_update_work) in ath11k_mac_op_stop().
ifconfig 3109 [003] 2414.232506: probe:

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63 ([kernel.kallsyms])
__GI___ioctl+0x7 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so)

The sequence of deadlock is:

1. Thread B calls rtnl_lock().

2. Thread A starts to run and calls rtnl_lock() from within
ath11k_regd_update_work(), then enters wait state because the lock is owned by
thread B.

3. Thread B continues to run and tries to call
cancel_work_sync(&ar->regd_update_work), but thread A is in
ath11k_regd_update_work() waiting for rtnl_lock(). So cancel_work_sync()
forever waits for ath11k_regd_update_work() to finish and we have a deadlock.

Fix this by switching from using regulatory_set_wiphy_regd_sync() to
regulatory_set_wiphy_regd(). Now cfg80211 will schedule another workqueue which
handles the locking on it's own. So the ath11k workqueue can simply exit without
taking any locks, avoiding the deadlock.

# 9497b788 04-May-2022 Wen Gong <quic_wgong@quicinc.com>

ath11k: reset 11d state in process of recovery

When doing simulate_fw_crash operation periodically with a short interval
time such as 10 seconds, it is easy happened WMI command timed out for
WMI_SCAN_CHAN_LIST_CMDID in ath11k_reg_update_chan_list().

log:
[42287.610053] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: wmi command 12291 timeout
[42287.610064] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to send WMI_SCAN_CHAN_LIST cmd
[42287.610073] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to perform regd update : -11

Note that this issue does not occur with a longer interval such as 20 seconds.

The reason the issue occurs with a shorter interval is the following steps:
1) Upon initial boot, or after device recovery, the initial hw scan plus
the 11d scan will run, and when 6 GHz support is present, these scans
can take up to 12 seconds to complete, so ath11k_reg_update_chan_list()
is still waiting the completion of ar->completed_11d_scan.
2) If a simulate_fw_crash operation is received during this time, those
scans do not complete, and ath11k_core_pre_reconfigure_recovery()
complete the ar->completed_11d_scan, then ath11k_reg_update_chan_list()
wakeup and start to send WMI_SCAN_CHAN_LIST_CMDID, but firmware is crashed
at this moment, so wmi timed out occur.

To address this issue, reset the 11d state during device recovery so that
WMI_SCAN_CHAN_LIST_CMDID does not timed out for short interval time such
as 10 seconds.

ath11k: reduce the wait time of 11d scan and hw scan while add interface

Currently ath11k will wait 11d scan complete while add interface in
ath11k_mac_op_add_interface(), when system resume without enable
wowlan, ath11k_mac_op_add_interface() is called for each resume, thus
it increase the resume time of system. And ath11k_mac_op_hw_scan()
after ath11k_mac_op_add_interface() also needs some time cost because
the previous 11d scan need more than 5 seconds when 6 GHz is enabled,
then the scan started event will indicated to ath11k after the 11d
scan completed.

While 11d scan/hw scan is running in firmware, if ath11k update channel
list to firmware by WMI_SCAN_CHAN_LIST_CMDID, then firmware will cancel
the current scan which is running, it lead the scan failed. The patch
commit 9dcf6808b253 ("ath11k: add 11d scan offload support") used
finish_11d_scan/finish_11d_ch_list/pending_11d to synchronize the 11d
scan/hw scan/channel list between ath11k/firmware/mac80211 and to avoid
the scan fail.

Add wait operation before ath11k update channel list, function
ath11k_reg_update_chan_list() will wait until the current 11d scan/hw
scan completed. And remove the wait operation of start 11d scan and
waiting channel list complete in hw scan. After these changes, resume
time cost reduce about 5 seconds and also hw scan time cost reduced
obviously, and scan failed not seen.

The 11d scan is sent to firmware only one time for each interface added
in mac.c, and it is moved after the 1st hw scan because 11d scan will
cost some time and thus leads the AP scan result update to UI delay.
Currently priority of ath11k's hw scan is WMI_SCAN_PRIORITY_LOW, and
priority of 11d scan in firmware is WMI_SCAN_PRIORITY_MEDIUM, then the
11d scan which sent after hw scan will cancel the hw scan in firmware,
so change the priority to WMI_SCAN_PRIORITY_MEDIUM for the hw scan which
is in front of the 11d scan, thus it will not happen scan cancel in
firmware.

this WMI CMD leads firmware crash.

For AP based chips(ipq8074/qcn9074), WMI_SET_INIT_COUNTRY_CMDID is used
to send to firmware, for STATION based chips(WCN6855/QCA6390), it need to
use another WMI CMD WMI_SET_CURRENT_COUNTRY_CMDID.

Add flag current_cc_support in hardware parameters, it is used to
distinguish AP/STA platform. After that, the firmware will work
normal and the regulatory feature works well for QCA6390/WCN6855.

codel: remove unnecessary pkt_sched.h include

Commit d068ca2ae2e6 ("codel: split into multiple files") moved all
Qdisc-related code to codel_qdisc.h, move the include of pkt_sched.h
as well.

This is similar to the previous commit, although we don't care as
much about incremental builds after pkt_sched.h was touched itself
it is included by net/sch_generic.h which is modified ~20 times
a year.

This decreases the incremental build size after touching pkt_sched.h
from 1592 to 617 objects.

Fix unmasked missing includes in WiFi drivers.

ath11k: Fix ETSI regd with weather radar overlap

Some ETSI countries have a small overlap in the wireless-regdb with an ETSI
channel (5590-5650). A good example is Australia:

country AU: DFS-ETSI
(2400 - 2483.5 @ 40), (36)
(5150 - 5250 @ 80), (23), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW
(5250 - 5350 @ 80), (20), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW, DFS
(5470 - 5600 @ 80), (27), DFS
(5650 - 5730 @ 80), (27), DFS
(5730 - 5850 @ 80), (36)
(57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (43), NO-OUTDOOR

If the firmware (or the BDF) is shipped with these rules then there is only
a 10 MHz overlap with the weather radar:

* below: 5470 - 5590
* weather radar: 5590 - 5600
* above: (none for the rule "5470 - 5600 @ 80")

There are several wrong assumption in the ath11k code:

* there is always a valid range below the weather radar
(actually: there could be no range below the weather radar range OR range
could be smaller than 20 MHz)
* intersected range in the weather radar range is valid
(actually: the range could be smaller than 20 MHz)
* range above weather radar is either empty or valid
(actually: the range could be smaller than 20 MHz)

These wrong assumption will lead in this example to a rule

(5590 - 5600 @ 20), (N/A, 27), (600000 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW

which is invalid according to is_valid_reg_rule() because the freq_diff is
only 10 MHz but the max_bandwidth is set to 20 MHz. Which results in a
rejection like:

WARNING: at backports-20210222_001-4.4.60-b157d2276/net/wireless/reg.c:3984

ath11k c000000.wifi: failed to perform regd update : -22
Invalid regulatory domain detected

To avoid this, the algorithm has to be changed slightly. Instead of
splitting a rule which overlaps with the weather radar range into 3 pieces
and accepting the first two parts blindly, it must actually be checked for
each piece whether it is a valid range. And only if it is valid, add it to
the output array.

When these checks are in place, the processed rules for AU would end up as

country AU: DFS-ETSI
(2400 - 2483 @ 40), (N/A, 36), (N/A)
(5150 - 5250 @ 80), (6, 23), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW

(5650 - 5730 @ 80), (6, 27), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW
(5730 - 5850 @ 80), (6, 36), (N/A), AUTO-BW

and will be accepted by the wireless regulatory code.

ath11k: Avoid race during regd updates

Whenever ath11k is bootup with a user country already set, cfg80211
notifies this country info to ath11k soon after registration, where the
notification is sent to the firmware for fetching the rules of this user
country input.

Multiple race conditions could be seen in this scenario where a new
request is either lost as pointed in [1] or a new regd overwrites the
default regd provided by the firmware during bootup. Note that, the
default regd is used for intersection purpose and hence it should not be
overwritten.

The main reason as pointed by [1] is the usage of ATH11K_FLAG_REGISTERED
flag which is updated after completion of core registration, whereas the
reg notification from cfg80211 and wmi events for the corresponding
request can happen much before that. Since the ATH11K_FLAG_REGISTERED is
currently used to determine if the event containing reg rules belong to
default regd or for user request, there is a possibility of the default
regd getting overwritten.

Since the default reg rules will be received only once per pdev on
firmware load, the above flag based check can be replaced with a check
to see if default_regd is already set, so that we can now always update
the new_regd. Also if the new_regd is set, this will be always used to
update the reg rules for the registered phy.

ath11k: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use "flexible array members"[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Refactor the code a bit according to the use of a flexible-array member in
struct scan_chan_list_params instead of a one-element array, and use the
struct_size() helper.

Also, save 25 (too many) bytes that were being allocated:

$ pahole -C channel_param drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/reg.o
struct channel_param {
u8 chan_id; /* 0 1 */
u8 pwr; /* 1 1 */
u32 mhz; /* 2 4 */

/* Bitfield combined with next fields */

u32 half_rate:1; /* 4:16 4 */
u32 quarter_rate:1; /* 4:17 4 */
u32 dfs_set:1; /* 4:18 4 */
u32 dfs_set_cfreq2:1; /* 4:19 4 */
u32 is_chan_passive:1; /* 4:20 4 */
u32 allow_ht:1; /* 4:21 4 */
u32 allow_vht:1; /* 4:22 4 */
u32 allow_he:1; /* 4:23 4 */
u32 set_agile:1; /* 4:24 4 */
u32 psc_channel:1; /* 4:25 4 */

/* XXX 6 bits hole, try to pack */

u32 phy_mode; /* 8 4 */
u32 cfreq1; /* 12 4 */
u32 cfreq2; /* 16 4 */
char maxpower; /* 20 1 */
char minpower; /* 21 1 */
char maxregpower; /* 22 1 */
u8 antennamax; /* 23 1 */
u8 reg_class_id; /* 24 1 */

/* size: 25, cachelines: 1, members: 21 */
/* sum members: 23 */
/* sum bitfield members: 10 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 6 bits */
/* last cacheline: 25 bytes */
} __attribute__((__packed__));

as previously, sizeof(struct scan_chan_list_params) was 32 bytes:

$ pahole -C scan_chan_list_params drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/reg.o
struct scan_chan_list_params {
u32 pdev_id; /* 0 4 */
u16 nallchans; /* 4 2 */
struct channel_param ch_param[1]; /* 6 25 */

/* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
/* padding: 1 */
/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};

and now with the flexible array transformation it is just 8 bytes:

$ pahole -C scan_chan_list_params drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/reg.o
struct scan_chan_list_params {
u32 pdev_id; /* 0 4 */
u16 nallchans; /* 4 2 */
struct channel_param ch_param[]; /* 6 0 */

/* size: 8, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
/* padding: 2 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds and
get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on
memcpy().

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed,
manually.

cfg80211: avoid holding the RTNL when calling the driver

Currently, _everything_ in cfg80211 holds the RTNL, and if you
have a slow USB device (or a few) you can get some bad lock
contention on that.

Fix that by re-adding a mutex to each wiphy/rdev as we had at
some point, so we have locking for the wireless_dev lists and
all the other things in there, and also so that drivers still
don't have to worry too much about it (they still won't get
parallel calls for a single device).

Then, we can restrict the RTNL to a few cases where we add or
remove interfaces and really need the added protection. Some
of the global list management still also uses the RTNL, since
we need to have it anyway for netdev management, but we only
hold the RTNL for very short periods of time here.

ath11k: Fix number of rules in filtered ETSI regdomain

The ath11k code will try to insert wheather rader related limits when the
DFS region is set to ETSI. For this reason, it will add two more entries in
the array of reg_rules. But the 2.4.0.1 firmware is prefiltering the list
of reg rules it returns for 2.4GHz PHYs. They will then not contain the
list of 5GHz rules and thus no wheather radar band rules were inserted by
this code.

But the code didn't fix the n_reg_rules for this regulatory domain and PHY
when this happened. This resulted in a rejection by is_valid_rd because it
found rules which start and end at 0khz. This resulted in a splat like:

Invalid regulatory domain detected
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at backports-20200628-4.4.60-9a94b73e75/net/wireless/reg.c:3721
[...]
ath11k c000000.wifi1: failed to perform regd update : -22

The number of rules must therefore be saved after they were converted from
the ath11k format to the ieee80211_regdomain format and not before.

ath11k: set psc channel flag when sending channel list to firmware.

If 6 ghz channel is a Preferred Scanning Channel(PSC), mark
the channel flag accordingly when updating channel list to firmware.
This will be used when making scanning decision in 6GHz channels.

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.
