mac802154: Add MLME Tx locked helpers

These have the exact same behavior as before, except they expect the
rtnl to be already taken (and will complain otherwise). This allows
performing MLME transmissions from different contexts.

net: mac802154: Fix a Tx warning check

The purpose of the netif_is_down() helper was to ensure that the network
interface used was still up when performing the transmission. What it
actually did was to check if _all_ interfaces were up. This was not
noticed at that time because I did not use interfaces at all before
discussing with Alexander Aring about how to handle coordinators
properly.

Drop the helper and call netif_running() on the right sub interface
object directly.

mac802154: fix atomic_dec_and_test checks

We need to call wake_up() when hold_txs reaches zero. The semantic of
atomic_dec_and_test() is that it returns true when it's zero.

net: mac802154: Add a warning in the slow path

In order to be able to detect possible conflicts between the net
interface core and the ieee802154 core, let's add a warning in the slow
path: we want to be sure that whenever we start an asynchronous MLME
transmission (which can be fully asynchronous) the net core somehow
agrees that this transmission is possible, ie. the device was not
stopped. Warning in this case would allow us to track down more easily
possible issues with the MLME logic if we ever get reports.

Unlike in the hot path, such a situation cannot be handled.

net: mac802154: Add a warning in the hot path

We should never start a transmission after the queue has been stopped.

But because it might work we don't kill the function here but rather
warn loudly the user that something is wrong.

Set a flag when the queue should remain stopped. Reset this flag when
the queue actually gets restarded. Just check this value to know if a
transmission is legitimate, warn if it is not.

Turn the flags variable into an unsigned long to allow the use of atomic
helpers on it.

net: mac802154: Introduce a synchronous API for MLME commands

This is the slow path, we need to wait for each command to be processed
before continuing so let's introduce an helper which does the
transmission and blocks until it gets notified of its asynchronous
completion. This helper is going to be used when introducing scan
support.

net: mac802154: Introduce a tx queue flushing mechanism

Right now we are able to stop a queue but we have no indication if a
transmission is ongoing or not.

Thanks to recent additions, we can track the number of ongoing
transmissions so we know if the last transmission is over. Adding on top
of it an internal wait queue also allows to be woken up asynchronously
when this happens. If, beforehands, we marked the queue to be held and
stopped it, we end up flushing and stopping the tx queue.

Thanks to this feature, we will soon be able to introduce a synchronous
transmit API.

# 20a19d1d 19-May-2022 Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@bootlin.com>

net: mac802154: Bring the ability to hold the transmit queue

Create a hold_txs atomic variable and increment/decrement it when
relevant, ie. when we want to hold the queue or release it: currently
all the "stopped" situations are suitable, but very soon we will more
extensively use this feature for MLME purposes.

Upon release, the atomic counter is decremented and checked. If it is
back to 0, then the netif queue gets woken up. This makes the whole
process fully transparent, provided that all the users of
ieee802154_wake/stop_queue() now call ieee802154_hold/release_queue()
instead.

In no situation individual drivers should call any of these helpers
manually in order to avoid messing with the counters. There are other
functions more suited for this purpose which have been introduced, such
as the _xmit_complete() and _xmit_error() helpers which will handle all
that for them.

One advantage is that, as no more drivers call the stop/wake helpers
directly, we can safely stop exporting them and only declare the
hold/release ones in a header only accessible to the core.

net: mac802154: Follow the count of ongoing transmissions

In order to create a synchronous API for MLME command purposes, we need
to be able to track the end of the ongoing transmissions. Let's
introduce an atomic variable which is incremented when a transmission
starts and decremented when relevant so that we know at any moment
whether there is an ongoing transmission.

The counter gets decremented in the following situations:
- The operation is asynchronous and there was a failure during the
offloading process.
- The operation is synchronous and the synchronous operation failed.
- The operation finished, either successfully or not.

net: mac802154: Rename the synchronous xmit worker

There are currently two driver hooks: one is synchronous, the other is
not. We cannot rely on driver implementations to provide a synchronous
API (which is related to the bus medium more than a wish to have a
synchronized implementation) so we are going to introduce a sync API
above any kind of driver transmit function. In order to clarify what
this worker is for (synchronous driver implementation), let's rename it
so that people don't get bothered by the fact that their driver does not
make use of the "xmit worker" which is a too generic name.

flushed and holding the rtnl lock. That means it can happen that the stop
callback waits forever because it try to lock the rtnl mutex which is
already hold by stop callback.

ieee802154: change mtu size behaviour

This patch changes the mtu size of 802.15.4 interfaces. The current
setting is the meaning of the maximum transport unit with mac header,
which is 127 bytes according 802.15.4. The linux meaning of the mtu size
field is the maximum payload of a mac frame. Like in ethernet, which is
1500 bytes.

We have dynamic length of mac frames in 802.15.4, this is why we assume
the minimum header length which is hard_header_len. This contains fc and
sequence fields. These can evaluated by driver layer without additional
checks. We currently don't support to set the FCS from userspace, so we
need to subtract this from mtu size as well.

While doing a little test with the llsec implementation I saw these
issues. We should move decryption and encruption somewhere else,
otherwise while capturing with wireshark the mac header shows secuirty
fields but the payload is plaintext.

A complete other issue is what doing with HardMAC drivers where the
payload is always plaintext. I think we need a special handling then in
userspace. We currently doesn't support any HardMAC transceivers, so we
should fix the first issue for SoftMAC transceivers.

ieee802154: change needed headroom/tailroom

This patch cleanups needed_headroom, needed_tailroom and hard_header_len
fields for wpan and lowpan interfaces.

For wpan interfaces the worst case mac header len should be part of
needed_headroom, currently this is set as hard_header_len, but
hard_header_len should be set to the minimum header length which xmit
call assumes and this is the minimum frame length of 802.15.4.
The hard_header_len value will check inside send callbacl of AF_PACKET
raw sockets.

For lowpan interfaces, if fragmentation isn't needed the skb will
call dev_hard_header for 802154 layer and queue it afterwards. This
happens without new skb allocation, so we need the same headroom and
tailroom lengths like 802154 inside 802154 6lowpan layer. At least we
assume as minimum header length an ipv6 header size.

mac802154: Fix memory corruption with global deferred transmit state.

When transmitting a packet via a mac802154 driver that can sleep in
its transmit function, mac802154 defers the call to the driver's
transmit function to a per-device workqueue.

However, mac802154 uses a single global work_struct for this, which
means that if you have more than one registered mac802154 interface
in the system, and you transmit on more than one of them at the same
time, you'll very easily cause memory corruption.

This patch moves the deferred transmit processing state from global
variables to struct ieee802154_local, and this seems to fix the memory
corruption issue.

mac802154: add interframe spacing time handling

This patch adds a new interframe spacing time handling into mac802154
layer. Interframe spacing time is a time period between each transmit.
This patch adds a high resolution timer into mac802154 and starts on
xmit complete with corresponding interframe spacing expire time if
ifs_handling is true. We make it variable because it depends if
interframe spacing time is handled by transceiver or mac802154. At the
timer complete function we wake the netdev queue again. This avoids
new frame transmit in range of interframe spacing time.

For synced driver we add no handling of interframe spacing time. This
is currently a lack of support in all synced xmit drivers. I suppose
it's working because the latency of workqueue which is needed to call
spi_sync.
