      rtw88: add a debugfs entry to dump coex's info · 1fe188da
      由 Yan-Hsuan Chuang 提交于 
      Add a new entry "coex_info" in debugfs to dump coex's states for
us to debug on coex's issues.

The basic concept for co-existence (coex, usually for WiFi + BT)
is to decide a strategy based on the current status of WiFi and
BT. So, it means the WiFi driver requires to gather information
from BT side and choose a strategy (TDMA/table/HW settings).

Althrough we can easily check the current status of WiFi, e.g.,
from kernel log or just dump the hardware registers, it is still
very difficult for us to gather so many different types of WiFi
states (such as RFE config, antenna, channel/band, TRX, Power
save). Also we will need BT's information that is stored in
"struct rtw_coex". So it is necessary for us to have a debugfs
that can dump all of the WiFi/BT information required.

Note that to debug on coex related issues, we usually need a
longer period of time of coex_info dump every 2 seconds (for
example, 30 secs, so we should have 15 times of coex_info's
dump).

      rtw88: associate reserved pages with each vif · 895c096d
      由 Yan-Hsuan Chuang 提交于 
      Each device has only one reserved page shared with all of the
vifs, so it seems not reasonable to pass vif as one of the
arguments to rtw_fw_download_rsvd_page(). If driver is going
to run more than one vif, the content of reserved page could
not be built for all of the vifs.

To fix it, let each vif maintain its own reserved page list,
and build the final reserved page to download to the firmware
from all of the vifs. Hence driver should add reserved pages
to each vif according to the vif->type when adding the vif.

For station mode, add reserved page with rtw_add_rsvd_page_sta().
If the station mode is going to suspend in PNO (net-detect)
mode, remove the reserved pages used for normal mode, and add
new one for wowlan mode with rtw_add_rsvd_page_pno().

For beacon mode, only beacon is required to be added using
rtw_add_rsvd_page_bcn().

This would make the code flow simpler as we don't need to
add reserved pages when vif is running, just add/remove them
when ieee80211_ops::[add|remove]_interface.

When driver is going to download the reserved page, it will
collect pages from all of the vifs, this list is maintained
by rtwdev, with build_list as the pages' member. That way, we
can still build a list of reserved pages to be downloaded.
Also we can get the location of the pages from the list that
is maintained by rtwdev.

The biggest problem is that the first page should always be
beacon, if other type of reserved page is put in the first
page, the tx descriptor and offset could be wrong.
But station mode vif does not add beacon into its list, so
we need to add a dummy page in front of the list, to make
sure other pages will not be put in the first page. As the
dummy page is allocated when building the list, we must free
it before building a new list of reserved pages to firmware.

      wireless: realtek: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member · a1b7714b
      由 Gustavo A. R. Silva 提交于 
      The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

      rtw88: flush hardware tx queues · 1131ad7f
      由 Yan-Hsuan Chuang 提交于 
      Sometimes mac80211 will ask us to flush the hardware queues.
To flush them, first we need to get the corresponding priority queues
from the RQPN mapping table.

Then we can check the available pages are equal to the originally
reserved pages, which means the hardware has returned all of the pages
it used to transmit.

Note that now we only check for 100 ms for the priority queue, but
sometimes if we have a lot of traffic (ex. 100Mbps up), some of the
packets could be dropped.

      rtw88: take over rate control from mac80211 · 46ebb174
      由 Yan-Hsuan Chuang 提交于 
      We can indicate IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL to mac80211 because
the hardware has its own rate control algorithm. And what driver needs
to do is to choose an RA mask according the peer's capabilities.

But the hardware is not able to setup BA session by itself. So driver
requires to initiate tx BA session for hardware, and tells it if it is
possible to transmit AMPDU. The hardware can then aggregate MPDUs.

And the size of AMPDU is controlled by the TX descriptor and the
register value. Since the TX descriptor will reference the max AMPDU
size from ieee80211_sta::ht_cap::ampdu_factor, just set the register
value to 0x3f, and let it be controlled by TX descriptor.

      rtw88: add driver TX queue support · 3745d3e5
      由 Yan-Hsuan Chuang 提交于 
      The mac80211 provides software TX queue for driver, as long as
driver has hooked ieee80211_ops::wake_tx_queue. Each time a
packet is queued onto the TX queue, that queue will be woken
up the inform driver to serve the queue.

Now driver only supports PCI interface ICs, there's no specific
traffic control for each queue, just schedule a tasklet, and
dump all of the packets at once to the DMA ring. Instead of TX
the packets whenever TX queue is woke, tasklet handler can have
more packets dumped to the device, takes advantage of burst
write with DMA engine.

And if the driver is going to support USB/SDIO ICs, the tasklet
can be more flexible for aggregating the packets, enhance the
efficiency of bandwidth usage.

      rtw88: remove misleading module parameter rtw_fw_support_lps · bcde60e5

      The module parameter rtw_fw_support_lps is misleading. It
is not used to represent the firmware's property, but to
determine if driver wants to ask firmware to enter LPS.

However, driver should better enable/disable PS through
cfg80211_ops::set_power_mgmt instead.
For example, one could use iw command to set PS state.

  $ sudo iw wlanX set power_save [on/off]

So rtw_fw_support_lps should be removed because it is
misleading and useless. Instead of checking the parameter,
set PS mode according to IEEE80211_CONF_PS.

      rtw88: add deep power save support · 27e117e4
      由 Yan-Hsuan Chuang 提交于 
      Deep power save allows firmware/hardware to operate in a
lower power state. And the deep power save mode depends on
LPS mode. So, before entering deep PS, driver must first
enter LPS mode.

Under Deep PS, most of hardware functions are shutdown,
driver will not be able to read/write registers and transfer
data to the device. Hence TX path must be protected by each
interface. Take PCI for example, DMA engine should be idle,
and no nore activities on the PCI bus.

If driver wants to operate on the device, such as register
read/write, it must first acquire the mutex lock and wake
up from Deep PS, otherwise the behavior is undefined.

      rtw88: not to control LPS by each vif · 3d391c06
      由 Yan-Hsuan Chuang 提交于 
      The original design of LPS enter/leave routines allows
to control the LPS state by each interface. But the
hardware cannot actually handle it that way. This means
the hardware can only enter LPS once with an associated
port, so there is no need to keep tracking the state of
each vif.

Hence the logic of enter/leave LPS state can be simple,
just to check the state of the device's flag. And for
leaving LPS state, it will get the same port id to send
to inform the hardware.

This could simplify the logic and make the code look clean.

But it could have a little side-effect that if the driver is having
heavy traffic before the every-2-second watch_dog detect the traffic
and decide to leave PS, the thoughput will be lower. Once traffic is
detected by watch_dog and left PS state, the throughput will resume
to the peak the hardware ought to have again.

      rtw88: add BT co-existence support · 4136214f
      由 Yan-Hsuan Chuang 提交于 
      Both RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE are WiFi + BT combo chips. Since
WiFi and BT use 2.4GHz to transmit, it is important to
make sure they run concurrently without interfering each
other. To achieve this, WiFi driver requires a mechanism
to collaborate with BT, whether they share the antenna(s)
or not.

The final decision made by the co-existence mechanism is
to choose a proper strategy, or called "tdma/table", and
inform either firmware or hardware of the strategy.
To choose a strategy, co-existence mechanism needs to
have enough information from WiFi and BT.

BT information is provided through firmware C2H.
The contents describe the current status of BT, such as
if BT is connected or is idle, or the profile that is
being used.

WiFi information can be provided by WiFi itself. The WiFi
driver will call various of "notify" functions each time
the state of WiFi changed, such as WiFi is going to switch
channel or is connected. Also WiFi driver can know if it
shares antenna with BT by reading efuse content. Antenna
configuration of the module will finally get a different
strategy.

Upon receiving any information from WiFi or BT, the WiFi
driver will run the co-existence mechanism immediately.
It will set the RF antenna configuration according to the
strategy through the TDMA H2C to firmware and a hardware
table. Based on the tdma/table, WiFi + BT should work with
each other, and having a better user experience.
