push-pull mode needs certain amount the host driver involvement for
managing queues in the host memory and packet delivery to firmware.
qca4019 wifi firmware has an option to stay in push mode for less
number of active traffic flow and then switch to push-pull mode when
the active traffic flow goes beyond the certain limit.
The advantage of staying in push mode for less active traffic is, the
host cpu consumption is reduced. qca4019 firmware supports this
flexibility of the mode switch. It takes the host driver interest
(LOW_PERF/HIGH_PERF) via WMI_EXT_RESOURCE_CFG_CMDID,
LOW_PERF - fw would stay in push mode and switch to push-pull
based on demand.
HIGH_PERF - fw would stay in push-pull mode from the boot.
To make this configuration generic, new WMI services
WMI_SERVICE_TX_MODE_PUSH_ONLY, WMI_SERVICE_TX_MODE_PUSH_PULL,
WMI_SERVICE_TX_MODE_DYNAMIC are introduced to take dynamic tx mode
switch support availability in firmware.
Based on WMI_SERVICE_TX_MODE_DYNAMIC, LOW_PERF or HIGHT_PERF is
configured to the firmware.

The current/old tx path design was that host, at
its own leisure, pushed tx frames to the device.
For HTT there was ~1000-1400 msdu queue depth.
After reaching that limit the driver would request
mac80211 to stop queues. There was little control
over what packets got in there as far as
DA/RA was considered so it was rather easy to
starve per-station traffic flows.
With MU-MIMO this became a significant problem
because the queue depth was insufficient to buffer
frames from multiple clients (which could have
different signal quality and capabilities) in an
efficient fashion.
Hence the new tx path in 10.4 was introduced: a
pull-push mode.
Firmware and host can share tx queue state via
DMA. The state is logically a 2 dimensional array
addressed via peer_id+tid pair. Each entry is a
counter (either number of bytes or packets. Host
keeps it updated and firmware uses it for
scheduling Tx pull requests to host.
This allows MU-MIMO to become a lot more effective
with 10+ clients.

The RX rate idx is not correct for 11G mode OFDM packet.
Because the bitrate table start with CCK index instead of OFDM.

Of a word in struct htt_data_tx_desc htt version >= 3.4 firmware uses
LSB 16-bit for frequency configuration which is used for offchannel tx
and MSB 16-bit is for peerid. But other firmwares using version 2.X
(10.1, 10.2.2, 10.2.4 and 10.4) are using 32-bit for peerid in htt tx
desc. So far no issue is found with the existing code setting peerid and
freq for HTT version 2.X, this could be mainly because of 0 as frequecy
(home channel) is being always passed with those firmwares. There may be
issues when non-zero freq is passed with firmware using < 3.4 htt version.
To be safe use target_version_major and target_version_minor along with
htt-op-version before configuring peer id and freq in htt tx desc. This
patch extends ath10k_mac_tx_frm_has_freq() to check for htt_op_version_tlv
and uses the helper while setting peerid in htt_tx_desc.

Whenever any vdev was supposed to be paused all Tx
queues were stopped (except offchannel) instead of
only these associated with the given vdev.
This caused subtle issues with
multi-channel/multi-vif scenarios, e.g.
authentication of station vif could sometimes fail
depending on fw tx pause request timing.

qca6174 wmi-tlv firmware defines a new wmi event
for host tx pausing (i.e. stop/wake tx queues).
Map these events to ath10k/mac80211 tx queue
control.
This is important for multi-channel throughput
performance.

Tx queue locking was very simple until now.
Multi-channel support will require a more flexible
and fine grained control.
This introduces a per-hw and per-vif (each with a
bitmask of reasons) tx queue locking.

It's possible to derive rate index from bitrate
without any additional mapping structures/logic.
This should have little to none impact on
performance since this is only done for management
frames and the previous approach wasn't
particularly optimized.

Instead of using a hacky table and magic values
use supported band information advertised to
mac80211.
This may impact performance a little when dealing
with legacy rx rates depending on system
architecture. It's probably negligible.
This also fixes a highly theoretical corner case
when HT/VHT rates weren't reported correctly if
channel frequency wasn't known.

There are a few different tx paths depending on

Creating a uniform decision will make it possible

Some firmware revisions (e.g. qca6174 with fw73)
don't deliver beacons to host reliably. This
causes random disconnects even in perfect
conditions. This is most visible with
multi-channel operation.
All available firmware revisions seem to support
beacon miss offloading so there shouldn't be any
problems.

When static keys are used in shared WEP, when a
station is associated, message 3 is sent with an
encrypted payload. But, for subsequent
authentications that are triggered without a
deauth, the auth frame is decrypted by the HW.
To handle this, check if the WEP keys have already
been set for the peer and if so, mark the
frame as decrypted. This scenario can happen
when a station changes its default TX key and initiates
a new authentication sequence.

In some cases hw recovery was taking an absurdly
long time due to ath10k waiting for things that
would never really complete.
Instead of waiting for inevitable timeouts poke
all completions and wakequeues and check if it's
still worth waiting.
Reading/writing ar->state requires conf_mutex.
Since waiters might be holding it introduce a new
flag CRASH_FLUSH so it's possible to tell waiters
to abort whatever they were waiting for.

Some firmware revisions don't wait for beacon tx
completion before sending another SWBA event. This
could lead to hardware using old (freed) beacon
data in some cases, e.g. tx credit starvation
combined with missed TBTT. This is very very rare.
On non-IOMMU-enabled hosts this could be a
possible security issue because hw could beacon
some random data on the air. On IOMMU-enabled
hosts DMAR faults would occur in most cases and
target device would crash.
Since there are no beacon tx completions (implicit
nor explicit) propagated to host the only
workaround for this is to allocate a DMA-coherent
buffer for a lifetime of a vif and use it for all
beacon tx commands. Worst case for this approach
is some beacons may become corrupted, e.g. garbled
IEs or out-of-date TIM bitmap.
Keep the original beacon-related code as-is in
case future firmware revisions solve this problem
so that the old path can be easily re-enabled with
a fw_feature flag.

This aims at fixing some rare scan bugs related to
firmware reporting unexpected scan event
sequences.
One such bug was if spectral scan phyerr reporting
prevented firmware from properly propagating scan
events to host. This led to scan timeout. After
that next scan would trigger scan completed event
first (before scan started event) leading to
ar->scan.in_progress and timeout timer states to
be overwritten incorrectly and making the very
next scan to hang forever.

It always bugged me how tid is computed and stored
in a temporary var before written to the control
buffer. It was confusing and it made it difficult
to work with tx helpers.
While at it rename the qos workaround function as
it was misleading - it's not a workaround but
preparation for nwifi tx mode.

This is still the only way to submit mgmt frames in case
of 10.X firmware.
This patch introduces wmi_mgmt_tx queue, because of the
fact WMI command can block. This is a problem for
ath10k_tx_htt(), since it's called from atomic context.
The skb queue and worker are introduced to move the mgmt
frame handling out of .tx callback context and not block.

Restart the hardware if FW crashes.
If FW crashes during recovery we leave the
hardware in a "wedged" state to avoid recursive
recoveries.
When in "wedged" state userspace may bring
interfaces down (to issue stop()) and then bring
one interface (to issue start()) to reload
hardware manually.

Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices.
A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and
that's why we had to implement a new driver.
The wiki page for the driver is:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k
The driver has had many authors, they are listed here alphabetically:
