This reverts commit 484a54c2e5. The CoDel
parameter change essentially disables CoDel on slow stations, with some
questionable assumptions, as Dave pointed out in [0]. Quoting from
there:
But here are my pithy comments as to why this part of mac80211 is so
wrong...
static void sta_update_codel_params(struct sta_info *sta, u32 thr)
{
- if (thr && thr < STA_SLOW_THRESHOLD * sta->local->num_sta) {
1) sta->local->num_sta is the number of associated, rather than
active, stations. "Active" stations in the last 50ms or so, might have
been a better thing to use, but as most people have far more than that
associated, we end up with really lousy codel parameters, all the
time. Mistake numero uno!
2) The STA_SLOW_THRESHOLD was completely arbitrary in 2016.
- sta->cparams.target = MS2TIME(50);
This, by itself, was probably not too bad. 30ms might have been
better, at the time, when we were battling powersave etc, but 20ms was
enough, really, to cover most scenarios, even where we had low rate
2Ghz multicast to cope with. Even then, codel has a hard time finding
any sane drop rate at all, with a target this high.
- sta->cparams.interval = MS2TIME(300);
But this was horrible, a total mistake, that is leading to codel being
completely ineffective in almost any scenario on clients or APS.
100ms, even 80ms, here, would be vastly better than this insanity. I'm
seeing 5+seconds of delay accumulated in a bunch of otherwise happily
fq-ing APs....
100ms of observed jitter during a flow is enough. Certainly (in 2016)
there were interactions with powersave that I did not understand, and
still don't, but if you are transmitting in the first place, powersave
shouldn't be a problemmmm.....
- sta->cparams.ecn = false;
At the time we were pretty nervous about ecn, I'm kind of sanguine
about it now, and reliably indicating ecn seems better than turning it
off for any reason.
[...]
In production, on p2p wireless, I've had 8ms and 80ms for target and
interval for years now, and it works great.
I think Dave's arguments above are basically sound on the face of it,
and various experimentation with tighter CoDel parameters in the OpenWrt
community have show promising results[1]. So I don't think there's any
reason to keep this parameter fiddling; hence this revert.

In order to update the right link information, call the update
rate_control_rate_update() with the right link_sta, and then
pass that through to the driver's sta_rc_update() method. The
software rate control still doesn't support it, but that'll be
skipped by not having a rate control ref.
Since it now operates on a link sta, rename the driver method.

Andrei previously fixed an issue in the client where the NSS
for links other than the primary/assoc/deflink isn't set. The
same issue appears to exist on the AP side, because there's
only a call to rate_control_rate_init() for the deflink, and
not any other links.
Rework the code a bit to do rate_control_rate_init() for links,
even if it really doesn't work with software rate control yet,
it does other things as well.
Also add rate_control_rate_init_all_links() to actually do it
properly when moving to ASSOC state in cfg80211.
Change the explicit call to ieee80211_sta_init_nss() to instead
be rate_control_rate_init() now in the client code, but also
add a call to rate_control_rate_init() when a link is added in
AP mode and the STA is already associated.
This should fix the NSS initialization issue, and perhaps pave
the way for actual software rate scaling a bit, in case anyone
cares in the future, but that of course needs a lot more than
just the init call.
We still need to fix the rate control _update_ as well, and the
sta_rc_update() driver method especially, but that will be in a
different patch.

We're currently tracking rx_nss for each station, and that
is meant to be initialized to the capability NSS and later
reduced by the operating mode notification NSS.
However, we're mixing up capabilities and operating mode
NSS in the same variable. This forces us to recalculate
the NSS capability on operating mode notification RX,
which is a bit strange; due to the previous fix I had to
never keep rx_nss as zero, it also means that the capa is
never taken into account properly.
Fix all this by storing the capability value, that can be
recalculated unconditionally whenever needed, and storing
the operating mode notification NSS separately, taking it
into account when assigning the final rx_nss value.

For channel contexts, mac80211 currently uses the cfg80211
chandef struct (control channel, center freq(s), width) to
define towards drivers and internally how these behave. In
fact, there are _two_ such structs used, where the min_def
can reduce bandwidth according to the stations connected.
Unfortunately, with EHT this is longer be sufficient, at
least not for all hardware. EHT requires that non-AP STAs
that are connected to an AP with a lower bandwidth than it
(the AP) advertises (e.g. 160 MHz STA connected to 320 MHz
AP) still be able to receive downlink OFDMA and respond to
trigger frames for uplink OFDMA that specify the position
and bandwidth for the non-AP STA relative to the channel
the AP is using. Therefore, they need to be aware of this,
and at least for some hardware (e.g. Intel) this awareness
is in the hardware. As a result, use of the "same" channel
may need to be split over two channel contexts where they
differ by the AP being used.
As a first step, introduce a concept of a channel request
('chanreq') for each interface, to control the context it
requests. This step does nothing but reorganise the code,
so that later the AP's chandef can be added to the request
in order to handle the EHT case described above.

For MLD, we might eventually not really know the band on status,
but some code assumes it's there. Move the sband lookup deep to
the code that actually needs it, to make it clear where exactly
it's needed and for what purposes.
For rate control, at least initially we won't support it in MLO,
so that won't be an issue.
For TX monitoring, we may have to elide the rate and/or rely on
ieee80211_tx_status_ext() for rate information.
This also simplifies the function prototypes.

Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented
using sta_info datastructure with the associated
STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta
part of it.
With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added
in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically
with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level
communication can happen via different advertised
links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class,
BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link
STA parameters within a composite sta_info object
called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of
MLD STA are identified using the link address which can
be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique
link id based on the link vif.
To support extension of such a model, the sta_info
datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA
objects with link specific params currently within
sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is
done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed
within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial
driver changes are expected to support this.
For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA
is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink'
member.
For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to
get the correct link ID and access the correct part of
the station info.
Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly
via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers
indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id
being 0 for non MLO supported cases.
Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes
care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the
link STA info via deflink.

Fix this by adding debugfs entries only after wiphy_register().

Even if we have a station, we currently call rate_control_send_low()
with the NULL station unless further rate control (driver, minstrel)
has been initialized.
Change this so we can use more information about the station to use
a better rate. For example, when we associate with an AP, we will
now use the lowest rate it advertised as supported (that we can)
rather than the lowest mandatory rate. This aligns our behaviour
with most other 802.11 implementations.
To make this possible, we need to also ensure that we have non-zero
rates at all times, so in case we really have *nothing* pre-fill
the supp_rates bitmap with the very lowest mandatory bitmap (11b
and 11a on 2.4 and 5 GHz respectively).
Additionally, hostapd appears to be giving us an empty supported
rates bitmap (it can and should do better, since the STA must have
supported for at least the basic rates in the BSS), so ignore any
such bitmaps that would actually zero out the supp_rates, and in
that case just keep the pre-filled mandatory rates.

CoDel can be too aggressive if a station sends at a very low rate,
leading reduced throughput. This gets worse the more stations are
present, as each station gets more bursty the longer the round-robin
scheduling between stations takes.
This adds dynamic adjustment of CoDel parameters per station. It uses
the rate selection information to estimate throughput and sets more
lenient CoDel parameters if the estimated throughput is below a
threshold (modified by the number of active stations).
A new callback is added that drivers can use to notify mac80211 about
changes in expected throughput, so the same adjustment can be made for
cards that implement rate control in firmware. Drivers that don't use
this will just get the default parameters.

Existing API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' returns default 2 GHz band even
if the channel context configuration is NULL. This crashes for chipsets
which support 5 Ghz alone when it tries to access members of 'sband'.
Channel context configuration can be NULL in multivif case and when
channel switch is in progress (or) when it fails. Fix this by replacing
the API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' with 'ieee80211_get_sband' which
returns a NULL pointer for sband when the channel configuration is NULL.
An example scenario is as below:
In multivif mode (AP + STA) with drivers like ath10k, when we do a
channel switch in the AP vif (which has a number of clients connected)
and a STA vif which is connected to some other AP, when the channel
switch in AP vif fails, while the STA vifs tries to connect to the
other AP, there is a window where the channel context is NULL/invalid

Rename .tx_status_noskb to .tx_status_ext and pass a new on-stack
struct ieee80211_tx_status instead of struct ieee80211_tx_info.
This struct can be used to pass extra information, e.g. for dynamic tx
power control

When clang detects a non-boolean constant in a logical operation it
generates a 'constant-logical-operand' warning. In
ieee80211_try_rate_control_ops_get() the result of strlen(<const str>)
is used in a logical operation, clang resolves the expression to an
(integer) constant at compile time when clang's builtin strlen function
is used.
Change the condition to check for strlen() > 0 to make the constant
operand boolean and thus avoid the warning.

If the user rate mask results in no (basic) rates being usable,
clear it. Also, if we're already operating when it's set, reject
it instead.
Technically, selecting basic rates as the criterion is a bit too
restrictive, but calculating the usable rates over all stations
(e.g. in AP mode) is harder, and all stations must support the
basic rates. Similarly, in client mode, the basic rates will be
used anyway for control frames.
This fixes the "no supported rates (...) in rate_mask ..." warning
that occurs on TX when you've selected a rate mask that's not
compatible with the connection (e.g. an AP that enables only the
rates 36, 48, 54 and you've selected only 6, 9, 12.)

In my previous patch, I missed that rate_control_rate_init() is
called from some places that cannot sleep, so it cannot call
ieee80211_recalc_min_chandef(). Remove that call for now to fix
the context bug, we'll have to find a different way to fix the
minimum channel width issue.

In the current minimum chandef code there's an issue in that the
recalculation can happen after rate control is initialized for a
station that has a wider bandwidth than the current chanctx, and
then rate control can immediately start using those higher rates
which could cause problems.
Observe that first of all that this problem is because we don't
take non-associated and non-uploaded stations into account. The
restriction to non-associated is quite pointless and is one of
the causes for the problem described above, since the rate init
will happen before the station is set to associated; no frames
could actually be sent until associated, but the rate table can
already contain higher rates and that might cause problems.
Also, rejecting non-uploaded stations is wrong, since the rate
control can select higher rates for those as well.
Secondly, it's then necessary to recalculate the minimal config
before initializing rate control, so that when rate control is
initialized, the higher rates are already available. This can be
done easily by adding the necessary function call in rate init.

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

Allow distinguishing the non-station case from the case of a
station without rates, by using -1 for the non-station case.
This value cannot be reached with a station since that many
legacy rates don't exist.

The rate_control_cap_mask() function takes a parameter mcs_mask, which
GCC will take to be u8 * even though it was declared with a fixed size.
This causes the following warning:
net/mac80211/rate.c: In function 'rate_control_cap_mask':
net/mac80211/rate.c:719:25: warning: 'sizeof' on array function parameter 'mcs_mask' will return size of 'u8 * {aka unsigned char *}' [-Wsizeof-array-argument]
for (i = 0; i < sizeof(mcs_mask); i++)
^
net/mac80211/rate.c:684:10: note: declared here
u8 mcs_mask[IEEE80211_HT_MCS_MASK_LEN],
^
This can be easily fixed by using the IEEE80211_HT_MCS_MASK_LEN directly
within the loop condition.
