wifi: mac80211: check beacon countdown is complete on per link basis

Currently, function to check if beacon countdown is complete uses deflink
to fetch the beacon and check the counter. However, with MLO, there is
a need to check the counter for the beacon in a particular link.

Add support to use link_id in order to fetch the beacon from a particular
link data.

ath9k: Fix beacon configuration for addition/removal of interfaces

This patch fixes some issues with interface reconfiguration. It could
for example happen that an AP interface in beacon slot 0 was removed
leaving an IBSS station in one of the other slots. When this happens
the driver never sends out the beacon as it only tries to send a beacon
from slot 0.

Appart from that the tracking of required changes to the beacon config is
relatively complicated and prone to errors.

The approach taken here is to solve reconfiguration issues is to
reconfigure the beacons when any interface changes. This means that
the complexity of deciding whether an interface change may modify the
beacon configuration is gone. It also means that the beacon config will
be reliably updated when an interface is removed.

The issue that a single non-AP interface might not be in beacon
slot 0 and wouldn't be send out is solved by moving it into the
first slot. The TSF value in hardware is adjusted accordingly so
that the timestamp of the beacons stay consistent.

ath9k: Correct TSF adjustment to align the beacon time correctly

Beacons were not send out at (timestamp % beacon_time == 0) for interfaces
other than the primary one. To send out beacons with the correct timestamp
according to 10.1.3.2 of the 802.11 standard the tsf_adjustment has to be
set to the negative time difference instead of positive. This way the
later beacons get corrected to have a lower (and similar) timestamp with
regard to the beacon from slot 0.

I am not aware about any issues that have been caused by this.

ath9k: Fix beacon configuration for channel contexts

In channel context mode, when a new context is added,
mac80211 issues a bss_info_changed() notfication when
preparing the connection for the new interface/context.

But, this is done prior to the mgd_prepare_tx() call which
is where we switch to the new context. Since the current
context will be different when the earlier bss_info_changed()
is handled, the beacon information for the VIF is not
updated, but discarded since the rules for the current context
disallows it.

In the subsequent association process for the new context/vif,
this becomes a problem because the beacon parameters are invalid.
This causes problems with the TSF timer, causing large jumps.

To fix this, check if the beacon info is being updated for a
different context and if so, allow it without any checks since
we limit the max. interfaces to two anyway.

ath9k_hw: Fix false tx hung detection in AR9003 chips

The edma based (AR9003 family) chips update tx status
descriptors in a common ring buffer for all transmitted
frames. Whenever tx interrupt is raised, the descriptors
are processed and tx status index is moved.

The complete tx stauts ring are updated with beacons tx status
when there are no data frames to be sent for a period of time.
In this state, transmitting data frames causes the driver to
wait for the tx status on an incorrect tx status index though
the status was updated by hw properly. The driver detects this
condition as a h/w hang and does unnecessary chip resets.

This issue was orginally reported in adhoc mode while sending

ath9k: rework tx queue selection and fix queue stopping/waking

The current ath9k tx queue handling code showed a few issues that could
lead to locking issues, tx stalls due to stopped queues, and maybe even
DMA issues.

The main source of these issues is that in some places the queue is
selected via skb queue mapping in places where this mapping may no
longer be valid. One such place is when data frames are transmitted via
the CAB queue (for powersave buffered frames). This is made even worse
by a lookup WMM AC values from the assigned tx queue (which is
undefined for the CAB queue).

This messed up the pending frame counting, which in turn caused issues
with queues getting stopped, but not woken again.

To fix these issues, this patch removes an unnecessary abstraction
separating a driver internal queue number from the skb queue number
(not to be confused with the hardware queue number).

It seems that this abstraction may have been necessary because of tx
queue preinitialization from the initvals. This patch avoids breakage
here by pushing the software <-> hardware queue mapping to the function
that assigns the tx queues and redefining the WMM AC definitions to
match the numbers used by mac80211 (also affects ath9k_htc).

To ensure consistency wrt. pending frame count tracking, these counters
are moved to the ath_txq struct, updated with the txq lock held, but
only where the tx queue selected by the skb queue map actually matches
the tx queue used by the driver for the frame.

ath9k: use AP beacon miss as a trigger for fast recalibration

When beacons get stuck in AP mode, the most likely cause is interference.
Such interference can often go on for a while, and too many consecutive
beacon misses can lead to connected clients getting dropped.

Since connected clients might not be subjected to the same interference
if that happens to be very local, the AP should try to deal with it as
good as it can. One way to do this is to trigger an NF calibration with
automatic baseband update right after the beacon miss. In my tests with
very strong interference, this allowed the AP to continue transmitting
beacons after only 2-3 misses, which allows a normal client to stay
connected.

With some of the newer - really sensitive - chips, the maximum noise
floor limit is very low, which can be problematic during very strong
interference. To avoid an endless loop of stuck beacons -> nfcal ->
periodic calibration -> stuck beacons, the beacon miss event also sets
a flag, which allows the calibration code to bypass the chip specific
maximum NF value. This flag is automatically cleared, as soon as the
first NF median goes back below the limits for all chains.

In my tests, this allowed an ath9k AP to survive very strong interference
(measured NF: -68, or sometimes even higher) without losing connectivity
to its clients. Even under these conditions, I was able to transmit
several mbits/s through the interface.

ath9k: fix beacon timer restart after a card reset

In AP mode, ath_beacon_config_ap only restarts the timer if a TSF
restart is requested. Apparently this was added, because this function
unconditionally sets the flag for TSF reset.

The problem with this is, that ath9k_hw_reset() clobbers the timer
registers (specified in the initvals), thus effectively disabling the
SWBA interrupt whenever a card reset without TSF reset is issued
(happens in a few places in the code).

This patch fixes ath_beacon_config_ap to only issue the TSF reset flag
when necessary, but reinitialize the timer unconditionally. Tests show,
that this is enough to keep the SWBA interrupt going after a call to
ath_reset()

ath9k: cleanup slot time and ack/cts timeout handling

Previously ath9k left the initialization of slot timing and ACK/CTS
timeout to the mode specific initvals. This does not handle short vs
long slot in 2.4 GHz and uses a rather strange value for the 2.4 GHz
ACK timeout (64 usec).
This patch uses the proper ath9k_hw functions for setting slot time and
timeouts and also implements the switch between short and long slot
time in 2.4 GHz

ath9k: Ensure a fair beacon distribution in IBSS mode.

Update the beacon queue parameters with best effort queue parameters for
IBSS mode. This reduces the number of beacons generated by ath9k and
ensures a fair beacon distribution when there are multiple IBSS stations.
Also CWmin is quadrupled to achieve the expected percentage of
distribution.

ath9k: properly use the mac80211 rate control api

This patch changes ath9k to pass proper MCS indexes and flags
between the RC and the rest of the driver code.
sc->cur_rate_table remains, as it's used by the RC code internally,
but the rest of the driver code no longer uses it, so a potential
new RC for ath9k would not have to update it.

ath9k: move ps helpers onto core driver when reseting tsf

When the TSF is reset power save state is disabled and
then restored. The helpers to disable power save and restore
it use a lock provided by the driver core. Move the callers
of the helpers outside of the hw code.

We reset the TSF when mac80211 tells us and on the beacon.c
helper ath9k_hw_beaconinit() when it is made explicitly required.
Add a helper on beacon.c which will deal with ps awake/restore
if we need to reset the TSF upon ath9k_hw_beaconinit().

ath9k: Add sanity check for beacon_int in adhoc/mesh case

It looks like mac80211 can request the driver to start beaconing with
a beacon interval of zero in some cases (at least for mesh point). This
does not sound correct and something may need to be fixed in
mac80211. However, taken into account the unpleasantness of getting
stuck in an infinite busy loop with rtnl_lock held, let's add a quick
workaround in the driver to avoid the worst symptom while someone more
familiar with the mesh implementation can figure out what should be done
with mac80211 as far as beacon interval configuration is concerned.

ath9k: Reset SC_OP_TSF_RESET flag after stuck beacon

I have a TrendNet 652-BRP running OpenWRT + ath9k very well. The only
problem is that the beacon gets stuck maybe once a day. After
Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan's "ath9k: cleanup beacon parameters
configuration" patch, ath9k would nearly re-configure the beacons after it
detected the stuck beacon, and did a reset. But it would fail the
SC_OP_TSF_RESET check in ath_beacon_config_ap. This patch gets the beacon
fully reconfigured after the reset.

ath9k: Optimize TBTT/DTIM calculation for timers

The previous version used a simple loop to go through all Beacon
frames when determining the next TBTT and DTIM count. This is not too
bad for the case where the setup happens before timesync (i.e., very
small TSF), but this can become very heavy operation if a short Beacon
interval is used and the current TSF is large.

In preparation for a patch to update timer setup based on Beacon
timestamp, optimize this routine to take fixed time regardless of the
actual TSF value.

mac80211: clean up beacon interval settings

We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
an AP.

This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.

NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
drivers, some are updated in this patch.
