      ath10k: initialize msdu ext. descriptor before use · ae7d3821
      Peter Oh 提交于
      Initial QCA99X0 support has a known issue with TCP Tx throughput.
      All other path such as UDP Tx/Rx and TCP Rx meet their expectation
      (> 900Mbps), but TCP Tx marked as low as 5Mbps when single pair is
      used on iperf.
      
      The root cause is turned out because TSO flag is not initialized
      properly so that firmware configures TSO in wrong way.
      TSO flags in msdu extension descriptor is required to be reset
      to indicate firmware there is no TSO is enabled, otherwise it
      could act as TSO is enabled which causes huge throughput drop.
      
      In fact, it's enough by resetting TSO flags only to prevent the
      unexpected behavior, but initializing whole msdu ext. descriptor
      will help to clear uncertainty of firmware could bring on as it
      constantly updated.

      When max client was set to 512 in qca99x0, there was host memory

      ath10k: fix memory alloc failure in qca99x0 during wmi svc rdy event · c8ecfc1c
      Raja Mani 提交于
      Host memory required for firmware is allocated while handling
      wmi service ready event. Right now, wmi service ready is handled
      in tasklet context and it calls dma_alloc_coherent() with atomic
      flag (GFP_ATOMIC) to allocate memory in host needed for firmware.
      The problem is, dma_alloc_coherent() with GFP_ATOMIC fails in
      the platform (at least in AP platform) where it has less atomic
      pool memory (< 2mb). QCA99X0 requires around 2 MB of host memory
      for one card, having additional QCA99X0 card in the same platform
      will require similarly amount of memory. So, it's not guaranteed that
      all the platform will have enough atomic memory pool.
      
      Fix this issue, by handling wmi service ready event in workqueue
      context and calling dma_alloc_coherent() with GFP_KERNEL. mac80211 work
      queue will not be ready at the time of handling wmi service ready.
      So, it can't be used to handle wmi service ready. Also, register work
      gets scheduled during insmod in existing ath10k_wq and waits for
      wmi service ready to completed. Both workqueue can't be used for
      this purpose. New auxiliary workqueue is added to handle wmi service
      ready.

      ath10k: enable raw encap mode and software crypto engine · ccec9038
      David Liu 提交于
      This patch enables raw Rx/Tx encap mode to support software based
      crypto engine. This patch introduces a new module param 'cryptmode'.
      
       cryptmode:
      
         0: Use hardware crypto engine globally with native Wi-Fi mode TX/RX
            encapsulation to the firmware. This is the default mode.
         1: Use sofware crypto engine globally with raw mode TX/RX
            encapsulation to the firmware.
      
      Known limitation:
         A-MSDU must be disabled for RAW Tx encap mode to perform well when
         heavy traffic is applied.

      ath10k: suppress 'failed to process fft' warning messages · 3413e97d
      Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant 提交于
      When using DFS channels on Ath10k, kernel log has repeated warning message
      'failed to process fft: -22' typically under medium/heavy traffic.
      
      This patch switches the warnings to driver debug (WMI events) mode only
      thus reducing log file noise.
      
      DFS and spectral scan share underlying HW mechanisms and enabling one
      (DFS) enables the other (spectral scan) as far as event reporting from
      firmware to driver is concerned. Spectral scan events take no part in
      processing of DFS radar pulses which are delivered as distinct events,
      so the fft (spectral event) warning is harmless and DFS interference
      detection/protection still occurs.
      
      Symptoms seen & fix tested in both debug & non-debug modes on TP-Link
      Archer C7 v2 platform.
