      ath9k: Introduce airtime fairness scheduling between stations · 63fefa05
      由 Toke Høiland-Jørgensen 提交于 
      This reworks the ath9k driver to schedule transmissions to connected
stations in a way that enforces airtime fairness between them. It
accomplishes this by measuring the time spent transmitting to or
receiving from a station at TX and RX completion, and accounting this to
a per-station, per-QoS level airtime deficit. Then, an FQ-CoDel based
deficit scheduler is employed at packet dequeue time, to control which
station gets the next transmission opportunity.

Airtime fairness can significantly improve the efficiency of the network
when station rates vary. The following throughput values are from a
simple three-station test scenario, where two stations operate at the
highest HT20 rate, and one station at the lowest, and the scheduler is
employed at the access point:

                  Before   /   After
Fast station 1:    19.17   /   25.09 Mbps
Fast station 2:    19.83   /   25.21 Mbps
Slow station:       2.58   /    1.77 Mbps
Total:             41.58   /   52.07 Mbps

The benefit of airtime fairness goes up the more stations are present.
In a 30-station test with one station artificially limited to 1 Mbps,
we have seen aggregate throughput go from 2.14 to 17.76 Mbps.

      ath9k: Switch to using mac80211 intermediate software queues. · 50f08edf
      由 Toke Høiland-Jørgensen 提交于 
      This switches ath9k over to using the mac80211 intermediate software
queueing mechanism for data packets. It removes the queueing inside the
driver, except for the retry queue, and instead pulls from mac80211 when
a packet is needed. The retry queue is used to store a packet that was
pulled but can't be sent immediately.

The old code path in ath_tx_start that would queue packets has been
removed completely, as has the qlen limit tunables (since there's no
longer a queue in the driver to limit).

The mac80211 intermediate software queues offer significant latency
reductions, and this patch allows ath9k to realise them. The exact gains
from this varies with the test scenario, but in an access point scenario
we have seen latency reductions ranging from 1/3 to as much as an order
of magnitude. We also achieve slightly better aggregation.

Median latency (ping) figures with this patch applied at the access point,
with two high-rate stations and one low-rate station (HT20 5Ghz), running
a Flent rtt_fair_var_up test with one TCP flow and one ping flow going to
each station:

                                 Fast station        Slow station
Default pfifo_fast qdisc:            430.4 ms            638.7 ms
fq_codel qdisc on iface:              35.5 ms            211.8 ms
This patch set:                       22.4 ms             38.2 ms

Median aggregation sizes over the same test:

Default pfifo_fast qdisc:            9.5 pkts            1.9 pkts
fq_codel qdisc on iface:            11.2 pkts            1.9 pkts
This patch set:                     13.9 pkts            1.9 pkts

This patch is based on Tim's original patch set, but reworked quite
thoroughly.

      ath9k: parse the device configuration from an OF node · 138b4125
      由 Martin Blumenstingl 提交于 
      This allows setting the MAC address and specifying that the firmware
will be requested from userspace (because there might not be a hardware
EEPROM connected to the chip) for ath9k based PCI devices using
the device tree.

There is some out-of-tree code to "convert devicetree to
ath9k_platform_data" (for example in OpenWrt and LEDE) which becomes
obsolete with this patch.

      wireless: deprecate WDS and disable by default · 8f205423
      由 Johannes Berg 提交于 
      The old WDS 4-addr frame support is very limited, e.g.
 * no encryption is possible on such links
 * it cannot support rate/HT/VHT negotiation
 * management APIs are very restricted

These make the WDS legacy mode useless in practice.

All of these are resolved by the 4-addr AP/client support,
so there's also no reason to improve WDS in the future.

Therefore, add a Kconfig option to disable legacy WDS.
This gives people an "emergency valve" while they migrate
to the better-supported 4-addr AP/client option; we plan
to remove it (and the associated cfg80211/mac80211 code,
which is the ultimate goal) in the future.

      tree-wide: replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() · 97f2645f
      由 Masahiro Yamada 提交于 
      The use of config_enabled() against config options is ambiguous.  In
practical terms, config_enabled() is equivalent to IS_BUILTIN(), but the
author might have used it for the meaning of IS_ENABLED().  Using
IS_ENABLED(), IS_BUILTIN(), IS_MODULE() etc.  makes the intention
clearer.

This commit replaces config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() where possible.
This commit is only touching bool config options.

I noticed two cases where config_enabled() is used against a tristate
option:

 - config_enabled(CONFIG_HWMON)
  [ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/thermal.c ]

 - config_enabled(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE)
  [ drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/opregion.c ]

I did not touch them because they should be converted to IS_BUILTIN()
in order to keep the logic, but I was not sure it was the authors'
intention.

      ath9k: fix misleading indentation · 362210e0
      由 Arnd Bergmann 提交于 
      A cleanup patch in linux-3.18 moved around some code in the ath9k
driver and left some code to be indented in a misleading way,
made worse by the addition of some new code for p2p mode, as
discovered by a new gcc-6 warning:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c: In function 'ath9k_set_hw_capab':
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c:851:4: warning: statement is indented as if it were guarded by... [-Wmisleading-indentation]
    hw->wiphy->iface_combinations = if_comb;
    ^~
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c:847:3: note: ...this 'if' clause, but it is not
   if (ath9k_is_chanctx_enabled())
   ^~

The code is in fact correct, but the indentation is not, so I'm
reformatting it as it should have been after the original cleanup.

      ath9k: Enable support for cloned SKBS · 50e81e2f

      Ath9k driver does not modify tx skbs, so SUPPORTS_CLONED_SKBS
flag can be set. Enabling this flag significant reduce number
of copy operation during TCP Tx. This is especially noticeable
on platforms with slower CPU (lower CPU usage brings
profits in better TCP Tx troughput results).

Tested on MIPS with 560 MHz clock
Without CLONED_SKBS flag:
TCP Tx 145 Mb/s (iperf result)
__copy_user_common consumes 12.9% of CPU (result from perf tool)
0% CPU Idle

With CLONED_SKBS flag:
TCP Tx 170 Mb/s (iperf result)
__copy_user_common consumes 1.8% of CPU (result from perf tool)

      mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap · 30686bf7
      由 Johannes Berg 提交于 
      As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly,
convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long
bitmaps.

This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to
test the bits, along with new debugfs code.

The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the
drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the
fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.
