mac80211: prepare sta handling for MLO support 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. @ieee80211_sta@ struct ieee80211_sta *s; struct sta_info *si; identifier var = {supp_rates, ht_cap, vht_cap, he_cap, he_6ghz_capa, eht_cap, rx_nss, bandwidth, txpwr}; @@ ( s-> - var + deflink.var | si->sta. - var + deflink.var ) @sta_info@ struct sta_info *si; identifier var = {gtk, pcpu_rx_stats, rx_stats, rx_stats_avg, status_stats, tx_stats, cur_max_bandwidth}; @@ ( si-> - var + deflink.var ) Signed-off-by: Sriram R <quic_srirrama@quicinc.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1649086883-13246-1-git-send-email-quic_srirrama@quicinc.com [remove MLO-drivers notes from commit message, not clear yet; run spatch] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

mac80211: extend current rate control tx status API This patch adds the new struct ieee80211_rate_status and replaces 'struct rate_info *rate' in ieee80211_tx_status with pointer and length annotation. The struct ieee80211_rate_status allows to: (1) receive tx power status feedback for transmit power control (TPC) per packet or packet retry (2) dynamic mapping of wifi chip specific multi-rate retry (mrr) chains with different lengths (3) increase the limit of annotatable rate indices to support IEEE802.11ac rate sets and beyond ieee80211_tx_info, control and status buffer, and ieee80211_tx_rate cannot be used to achieve these goals due to fixed size limitations. Our new struct contains a struct rate_info to annotate the rate that was used, retry count of the rate and tx power. It is intended for all information related to RC and TPC that needs to be passed from driver to mac80211 and its RC/TPC algorithms like Minstrel_HT. It corresponds to one stage in an mrr. Multiple subsequent instances of this struct can be included in struct ieee80211_tx_status via a pointer and a length variable. Those instances can be allocated on-stack. The former reference to a single instance of struct rate_info is replaced with our new annotation. An extension is introduced to struct ieee80211_hw. There are two new members called 'tx_power_levels' and 'max_txpwr_levels_idx' acting as a tx power level table. When a wifi device is registered, the driver shall supply all supported power levels in this list. This allows to support several quirks like differing power steps in power level ranges or alike. TPC can use this for algorithm and thus be designed more abstract instead of handling all possible step widths individually. Further mandatory changes in status.c, mt76 and ath11k drivers due to the removal of 'struct rate_info *rate' are also included. status.c already uses the information in ieee80211_tx_status->rate in radiotap, this is now changed to use ieee80211_rate_status->rate_idx. mt76 driver already uses struct rate_info to pass the tx rate to status path. The new members of the ieee80211_tx_status are set to NULL and 0 because the previously passed rate is not relevant to rate control and accurate information is passed via tx_info->status.rates. For ath11k, the txrate can be passed via this struct because ath11k uses firmware RC and thus the information does not interfere with software RC.

mac80211: extend current rate control tx status API This patch adds the new struct ieee80211_rate_status and replaces 'struct rate_info *rate' in ieee80211_tx_status with pointer and length annotation. The struct ieee80211_rate_status allows to: (1) receive tx power status feedback for transmit power control (TPC) per packet or packet retry (2) dynamic mapping of wifi chip specific multi-rate retry (mrr) chains with different lengths (3) increase the limit of annotatable rate indices to support IEEE802.11ac rate sets and beyond ieee80211_tx_info, control and status buffer, and ieee80211_tx_rate cannot be used to achieve these goals due to fixed size limitations. Our new struct contains a struct rate_info to annotate the rate that was used, retry count of the rate and tx power. It is intended for all information related to RC and TPC that needs to be passed from driver to mac80211 and its RC/TPC algorithms like Minstrel_HT. It corresponds to one stage in an mrr. Multiple subsequent instances of this struct can be included in struct ieee80211_tx_status via a pointer and a length variable. Those instances can be allocated on-stack. The former reference to a single instance of struct rate_info is replaced with our new annotation. An extension is introduced to struct ieee80211_hw. There are two new members called 'tx_power_levels' and 'max_txpwr_levels_idx' acting as a tx power level table.

mac80211: extend current rate control tx status API This patch adds the new struct ieee80211_rate_status and replaces 'struct rate_info *rate' in ieee80211_tx_status with pointer and length annotation. The struct ieee80211_rate_status allows to: (1) receive tx power status feedback for transmit power control (TPC) per packet or packet retry (2) dynamic mapping of wifi chip specific multi-rate retry (mrr) chains with different lengths (3) increase the limit of annotatable rate indices to support IEEE802.11ac rate sets and beyond ieee80211_tx_info, control and status buffer, and ieee80211_tx_rate cannot be used to achieve these goals due to fixed size limitations. Our new struct contains a struct rate_info to annotate the rate that was used, retry count of the rate and tx power. It is intended for all information related to RC and TPC that needs to be passed from driver to mac80211 and its RC/TPC algorithms like Minstrel_HT. It corresponds to one stage in an mrr. Multiple subsequent instances of this struct can be included in struct ieee80211_tx_status via a pointer and a length variable. Those instances can be allocated on-stack. The former reference to a single instance of struct rate_info is replaced with our new annotation. An extension is introduced to struct ieee80211_hw. There are two new members called 'tx_power_levels' and 'max_txpwr_levels_idx' acting as a tx power level table. When a wifi device is registered, the driver shall supply all supported power levels in this list. This allows to support several quirks like differing power steps in power level ranges or alike. TPC can use this for algorithm and thus be designed more abstract instead of handling all possible step widths individually. Further mandatory changes in status.c, mt76 and ath11k drivers due to the removal of 'struct rate_info *rate' are also included. status.c already uses the information in ieee80211_tx_status->rate in radiotap, this is now changed to use ieee80211_rate_status->rate_idx. mt76 driver already uses struct rate_info to pass the tx rate to status path. The new members of the ieee80211_tx_status are set to NULL and 0 because the previously passed rate is not relevant to rate control and accurate information is passed via tx_info->status.rates. For ath11k, the txrate can be passed via this struct because ath11k uses firmware RC and thus the information does not interfere with software RC.

mac80211: prepare sta handling for MLO support 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.

mac80211: extend current rate control tx status API This patch adds the new struct ieee80211_rate_status and replaces 'struct rate_info *rate' in ieee80211_tx_status with pointer and length annotation. The struct ieee80211_rate_status allows to: (1) receive tx power status feedback for transmit power control (TPC) per packet or packet retry (2) dynamic mapping of wifi chip specific multi-rate retry (mrr) chains with different lengths (3) increase the limit of annotatable rate indices to support IEEE802.11ac rate sets and beyond ieee80211_tx_info, control and status buffer, and ieee80211_tx_rate cannot be used to achieve these goals due to fixed size limitations. Our new struct contains a struct rate_info to annotate the rate that was used, retry count of the rate and tx power. It is intended for all information related to RC and TPC that needs to be passed from driver to mac80211 and its RC/TPC algorithms like Minstrel_HT. It corresponds to one stage in an mrr. Multiple subsequent instances of this struct can be included in struct ieee80211_tx_status via a pointer and a length variable. Those instances can be allocated on-stack. The former reference to a single instance of struct rate_info is replaced with our new annotation. An extension is introduced to struct ieee80211_hw. There are two new members called 'tx_power_levels' and 'max_txpwr_levels_idx' acting as a tx power level table. When a wifi device is registered, the driver shall supply all supported power levels in this list. This allows to support several quirks like differing power steps in power level ranges or alike. TPC can use this for algorithm and thus be designed more abstract instead of handling all possible step widths individually. Further mandatory changes in status.c, mt76 and ath11k drivers due to the removal of 'struct rate_info *rate' are also included. status.c already uses the information in ieee80211_tx_status->rate in radiotap, this is now changed to use ieee80211_rate_status->rate_idx. mt76 driver already uses struct rate_info to pass the tx rate to status path. The new members of the ieee80211_tx_status are set to NULL and 0 because the previously passed rate is not relevant to rate control and accurate information is passed via tx_info->status.rates. For ath11k, the txrate can be passed via this struct because ath11k uses firmware RC and thus the information does not interfere with software RC.

mac80211: prepare sta handling for MLO support 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.
