mac80211: Add airtime accounting and scheduling to TXQs

2019-01-19T08:31:43+00:00

This adds airtime accounting and scheduling to the mac80211 TXQ
scheduler. A new callback, ieee80211_sta_register_airtime(), is added
that drivers can call to report airtime usage for stations.

When airtime information is present, mac80211 will schedule TXQs
(through ieee80211_next_txq()) in a way that enforces airtime fairness
between active stations. This scheduling works the same way as the ath9k
in-driver airtime fairness scheduling. If no airtime usage is reported
by the driver, the scheduler will default to round-robin scheduling.

For drivers that don't control TXQ scheduling in software, a new API
function, ieee80211_txq_may_transmit(), is added which the driver can use
to check if the TXQ is eligible for transmission, or should be throttled to
enforce fairness. Calls to this function must also be enclosed in
ieee80211_txq_schedule_{start,end}() calls to ensure proper locking.

The API ieee80211_txq_may_transmit() also ensures that TXQ list will be
aligned aginst driver's own round-robin scheduler list. i.e it rotates
the TXQ list till it makes the requested node becomes the first entry
in TXQ list. Thus both the TXQ list and driver's list are in sync.

mac80211: free skb fraglist before freeing the skb

2018-12-19T08:40:17+00:00

mac80211 uses the frag list to build AMSDU. When freeing
the skb, it may not be really freed, since someone is still
holding a reference to it.
In that case, when TCP skb is being retransmitted, the
pointer to the frag list is being reused, while the data
in there is no longer valid.
Since we will never get frag list from the network stack,
as mac80211 doesn't advertise the capability, we can safely
free and nullify it before releasing the SKB.

mac80211: ignore tx status for PS stations in ieee80211_tx_status_ext

2018-12-05T11:29:14+00:00

Make it behave like regular ieee80211_tx_status calls, except for the lack of
filtered frame processing.
This fixes spurious low-ack triggered disconnections with powersave clients
connected to an AP.

mac80211: implement ieee80211_tx_rate_update to update rate

2018-10-12T11:05:40+00:00

Current mac80211 has provision to update tx status through
ieee80211_tx_status() and ieee80211_tx_status_ext(). But
drivers like ath10k updates the tx status from the skb except
txrate, txrate will be updated from a different path, peer stats.

Using ieee80211_tx_status_ext() in two different paths
(one for the stats, one for the tx rate) would duplicate
the stats instead.

To avoid this stats duplication, ieee80211_tx_rate_update()
is implemented.

mac80211: fix TX status reporting for ieee80211s

2018-09-10T07:14:28+00:00

TX status reporting to ieee80211s is through ieee80211s_update_metric.
There are two problems about ieee80211s_update_metric:

1. The purpose is to estimate the fail probability
to a specific link. No need to restrict to data frame.

2. Current implementation does not work if wireless driver does not
pass tx_status with skb.

Fix this by removing ieee80211_is_data condition, passing
ieee80211_tx_status directly to ieee80211s_update_metric, and
putting it in both __ieee80211_tx_status and ieee80211_tx_status_ext.

mac80211: Always report TX status

2018-09-05T08:04:51+00:00

If a frame is dropped for any reason, mac80211 wouldn't report the TX
status back to user space.

As the user space may rely on the TX_STATUS to kick its state
machines, resends etc, it's better to just report this frame as not
acked instead.
