Kalle Valo says: ==================== wireless-drivers-next patches for v5.17 Third set of patches for v5.17, and the final one if all goes well. We have Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) support for both mt76 and rtw88. Also iwlwifi should be now W=1 warning free. But otherwise nothing really special this time, business as usual. Major changes: mt76 * Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) support * mt7921: new PCI ids * mt7921: 160 MHz channel support iwlwifi * fix W=1 and sparse warnings * BNJ hardware support * add new killer device ids * support for Time-Aware-SAR (TAS) from the BIOS * Optimized Connectivity Experience (OCE) scan support rtw88 * hardware scan * Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) support ath11k * qca6390/wcn6855: report signal and tx bitrate * qca6390: rfkill support * qca6390/wcn6855: regdb.bin support ath5k * switch to rate table based lookup wilc1000 * spi: reset/enable GPIO support * tag 'wireless-drivers-next-2021-12-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next: (148 commits) mt76: mt7921: fix a possible race enabling/disabling runtime-pm wilc1000: Document enable-gpios and reset-gpios properties wilc1000: Add reset/enable GPIO support to SPI driver wilc1000: Convert static "chipid" variable to device-local variable rtw89: 8852a: correct bit definition of dfs_en rtw88: don't consider deep PS mode when transmitting packet ath11k: Fix unexpected return buffer manager error for QCA6390 ath11k: add support of firmware logging for WCN6855 ath11k: Fix napi related hang ath10k: replace strlcpy with strscpy rtw88: support SAR via kernel common API rtw88: 8822c: add ieee80211_ops::hw_scan iwlwifi: mei: wait before mapping the shared area iwlwifi: mei: clear the ownership when the driver goes down iwlwifi: yoyo: fix issue with new DBGI_SRAM region read. iwlwifi: fw: fix some scan kernel-doc iwlwifi: pcie: make sure prph_info is set when treating wakeup IRQ iwlwifi: mvm: remove card state notification code iwlwifi: mvm: drop too short packets silently iwlwifi: mvm: fix AUX ROC removal ... ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211223141108.78808C36AE9@smtp.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Since sock.h is modified relatively often (60 times in the last
12 months) it seems worthwhile to decrease the incremental build
work.
CoDel's header includes net/inet_ecn.h which in turn includes net/sock.h.
codel.h is itself included by mac80211 which is included by much of
the WiFi stack and drivers. Removing the net/inet_ecn.h include from
CoDel breaks the dependecy between WiFi and sock.h.
Commit d068ca2ae2e6 ("codel: split into multiple files") moved all
the code which actually needs ECN helpers out to net/codel_impl.h,
the include can be moved there as well.
This decreases the incremental build size after touching sock.h
from 4999 objects to 4051 objects.
Fix unmasked missing includes in WiFi drivers.

In original flow, driver needs to ensure chip leave deep ps mode before transmitting any packet, and don't enter deep ps mode beofre PCIE DMA is finished. Now with the support of 8822ce's hardware setting and firmware after v9.9.11, these limits are removed.

Register cfg80211_sar_capa with type NL80211_SAR_TYPE_POWER and four frequency ranges for configurations in unit of 0.25 dBm. And handle callback set_sar_specs. Originally, TX power has three main parameters, i.e. power base, power by rate, and power limit. The formula can be simply considered as TX power = power base + min(power by rate, power limit). With the support of SAR which can be treated as another power limit, there is one more parameter for TX power. And the formula will evolve into TX power = power base + min(power by rate, power limit, power sar). Besides, debugfs tx_pwr_tbl is also refined to show SAR information. The following is an example for the difference. Before supporting SAR, ----------------------------------- ... path rate pwr base (byr lmt ) rem A CCK_1M 66(0x42) 78 -12 ( 12 -12) 0 A CCK_2M 66(0x42) 78 -12 ( 8 -12) 0 ... ----------------------------------- After supporting SAR and making some configurations, ----------------------------------- ... path rate pwr base (byr lmt sar ) rem A CCK_1M 62(0x3e) 78 -16 ( 12 -12 -16) 0 A CCK_2M 62(0x3e) 78 -16 ( 8 -12 -16) 0 ... ----------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Zong-Zhe Yang <kevin_yang@realtek.com> Signed-off-by: Ping-Ke Shih <pkshih@realtek.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211220093656.65312-1-pkshih@realtek.com
Declare this function allows us to use customized scanning policy. By doing so we can be more time efficient on each scan. In order to make existing coex mechanism work as usual, firmware notifies driver on each channel switch event, then decide antenna ownership based on the current channel/band. Do note that this new mechanism affects throughput more than the sw_scan we used to have, but the overall average throughput is not affected since each scan take less time. Since the firmware size is limited, we only support probe requests with custom IEs length under 128 bytes for now, if any user space tools requires more than that, we'll introduce related changes afterwards. For backward compatibility, we fallback to sw_scan when using older firmware that does not support this feature.

====================
This time we have:
* ndo_fill_forward_path support in mac80211, to let drivers use it
* association comeback notification for userspace, to be able
to react more sensibly to long delays
* support for background radar detection hardware in some chipsets
* SA Query Procedures offload on the AP side
* more logging if we find problems with HT/VHT/HE
* various cleanups and minor fixes

Syzbot reports the following WARNING:
[200~raw_local_irq_restore() called with IRQs enabled
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1206 at kernel/locking/irqflag-debug.c:10

Hardware initialization for the rtl8188cu can run for as long as 350 ms,
and the routine may be called with interrupts disabled. To avoid locking
the machine for this long, the current routine saves the interrupt flags
and enables local interrupts. The problem is that it restores the flags
at the end without disabling local interrupts first.
This patch fixes commit a53268be0cb9 ("rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Fix too long
disable of IRQs").

The A-MPDU TX retransmission rate is always high (> 20%) even in a very clean environment. However, the vendor driver retransimission rate is < 10% in the same test bed. The difference is the vendor driver starts the A-MPDU TXOP with initial RTS/CTS handshake which is observed in the air capture and the TX descriptor. Since the driver does not know how many frames will be aggregated and the estimated duration, forcing the RTS/CTS protection for A-MPDU helps to lower the retransmission rate from > 20% to ~12% in the same test setup with the vendor driver.
