This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs. The interface
between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling is changed by adding two new
functions: ieee80211_next_txq(), which will return the next TXQ to schedule
in the current round-robin rotation, and ieee80211_return_txq(), which the
driver uses to indicate that it has finished scheduling a TXQ (which will
then be put back in the scheduling rotation if it isn't empty).
The driver must call ieee80211_txq_schedule_start() at the start of each
scheduling session, and ieee80211_txq_schedule_end() at the end. The API
then guarantees that the same TXQ is not returned twice in the same
session (so a driver can loop on ieee80211_next_txq() without worrying
about breaking the loop.
Usage of the new API is optional, so drivers can be ported one at a time.
In this patch, the actual scheduling performed by mac80211 is simple
round-robin, but a subsequent commit adds airtime fairness awareness to the
scheduler.

Recently TXQ teardown was moved earlier in ieee80211_unregister_hw(),
to avoid a use-after-free of the netdev data. However, interfaces
aren't fully removed at the point, and cfg80211_shutdown_all_interfaces
can for example, TX a deauth frame. Move the TXQ teardown to the
point between cfg80211_shutdown_all_interfaces and the free of
netdev queues, so we can be sure they are torn down before netdev
is freed, but after there is no ongoing TX.

We hit a problem with iwlwifi that was caused by a bug in
mac80211. A bug in iwlwifi caused the firwmare to crash in
certain cases in channel switch. Because of that bug,
drv_pre_channel_switch would fail and trigger the restart
flow.
Now we had the hw restart worker which runs on the system's
workqueue and the csa_connection_drop_work worker that runs
on mac80211's workqueue that can run together. This is
obviously problematic since the restart work wants to
reconfigure the connection, while the csa_connection_drop_work
worker does the exact opposite: it tries to disconnect.
Fix this by cancelling the csa_connection_drop_work worker
in the restart worker.
Note that this can sound racy: we could have:
driver iface_work CSA_work restart_work
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
<--drv_cs ---|
<FW CRASH!>
-CS FAILED-->
| |
| cancel_work(CSA)
schedule |
CSA work |
| |
Race between those 2
But this is not possible because we flush the workqueue
in the restart worker before we cancel the CSA worker.
That would be bullet proof if we could guarantee that
we schedule the CSA worker only from the iface_work
which runs on the workqueue (and not on the system's
workqueue), but unfortunately we do have an instance
in which we schedule the CSA work outside the context
of the workqueue (ieee80211_chswitch_done).
Note also that we should probably cancel other workers
like beacon_connection_loss_work and possibly others
for different types of interfaces, at the very least,
IBSS should suffer from the exact same problem, but for
now, do the minimum to fix the actual bug that was actually
experienced and reproduced.

Sometimes, it is required to stop the transmissions momentarily and
resume it later; stopping the txqs becomes very critical in scenarios where
the packet transmission has to be ceased completely. For example, during
the hardware restart, during off channel operations,
when initiating CSA(upon detecting a radar on the DFS channel), etc.
The TX queue stop/start logic in mac80211 works well in stopping the TX
when drivers make use of netdev queues, i.e, when Qdiscs in network layer
take care of traffic scheduling. Since the devices implementing
wake_tx_queue can run without Qdiscs, packets will be handed to mac80211
directly without queueing them in the netdev queues.
Also, mac80211 does not invoke any of the
netif_stop_*/netif_wake_* APIs if wake_tx_queue is implemented.
Since the queues are not stopped in this case, transmissions can continue
and this will impact negatively on the operation of the wireless device.
For example,
During hardware restart, we stop the netdev queues so that packets are
not sent to the driver. Since ath10k implements wake_tx_queue,
TX queues will not be stopped and packets might reach the hardware while
it is restarting; this can make hardware unresponsive and the only
possible option for recovery is to reboot the entire system.
There is another problem to this, it is observed that the packets
were sent on the DFS channel for a prolonged duration after radar
detection impacting the channel closing time.
We can still invoke netif stop/wake APIs when wake_tx_queue is implemented
but this could lead to packet drops in network layer; adding stop/start
logic for software TXQs in mac80211 instead makes more sense; the change
proposed adds the same in mac80211.

The TXQ teardown code can reference the vif data structures that are
stored in the netdev private memory area if there are still packets on
the queue when it is being freed. Since the TXQ teardown code is run
after the netdevs are freed, this can lead to a use-after-free. Fix this
by moving the TXQ teardown code to earlier in ieee80211_unregister_hw().

In the current implementation, mac80211 advertises the support of
AP_VLANs based on the driver's support for AP mode; it also
blocks encrypted AP_VLAN operation on devices advertising
SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL.
The implementation seems weird in it's current form and could be
often confusing, this is because there can be drivers advertising
both SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL and AP mode support (ex: ath10k) in which case
AP_VLAN will still be supported but only in open BSS and not in
secured BSS.
When SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL is enabled, it makes more sense if the decision
to support AP_VLANs is left to the driver. Mac80211 can then allow
AP_VLAN operations depending on the driver support.

This adds airtime accounting and scheduling to the mac80211 TXQ

drivers can set if they support reporting airtime usage of
transmissions. When this flag is set, mac80211 will expect the actual
airtime usage to be reported in the tx_time and rx_time fields of the
respective status structs.
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

This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs and changes the
interface between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling as follows:
- The wake_tx_queue callback interface no longer includes the TXQ. Instead,
the driver is expected to retrieve that from ieee80211_next_txq()
- Two new mac80211 functions are added: ieee80211_next_txq() and
ieee80211_schedule_txq(). The former returns the next TXQ that should be
scheduled, and is how the driver gets a queue to pull packets from. The
latter is called internally by mac80211 to start scheduling a queue, and
the driver is supposed to call it to re-schedule the TXQ after it is
finished pulling packets from it (unless the queue emptied).
The ath9k and ath10k drivers are changed to use the new API.

Currently the restart flow enables RX back, and then proceeds
to tear down RX and TX aggregations.
The TX aggregation tear down calls synchronize_net(), which
waits for packet receiving to be done.
This is done for every session, while RX processing is already
active, and in some reproductions it takes up to 3 seconds.
Add a call once in the restart_work, before we have traffic
active again, and remove the subsequent calls when tearing
down the aggregation.
This requires to move down the code that turns off the
reconfig flag in order to be able to test it in

Due to the way 802.11 aggregation is designed it
only makes sense to keep fair queuing as close to
hardware as possible to reduce induced latency and
inertia and provide the best flow responsiveness.
This change doesn't translate directly to
immediate and significant gains. End result

Qdiscs are designed with no regard to 802.11
aggregation requirements and hand out
packet-by-packet with no guarantee they are
destined to the same tid. This does more bad than
good no matter how fairly a given qdisc may behave
on an ethernet interface.
Software queuing used per-AC netdev subqueue
congestion control whenever a global AC limit was
hit. This meant in practice a single station or
tid queue could starve others rather easily. This
could resonate with qdiscs in a bad way or could
just end up with poor aggregation performance.
Increasing the AC limit would increase induced
latency which is also bad.
Disabling qdiscs by default and performing
taildrop instead of netdev subqueue congestion
control on the other hand makes it possible for
tid queues to fill up "in the meantime" while
preventing stations starving each other.
This increases aggregation opportunities and
should allow software queuing based drivers
achieve better performance by utilizing airtime
more efficiently with big aggregates.

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.

NETIF_F_RXCSUM is not in the white list, though some
drivers may want to set it in order to enable seeing the
actual RX checksum status in ethtool.

On hw restart, mac80211 might try to reconfigure already
stopped sched scan, if ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped_work()
wasn't scheduled yet.
This in turn will keep the device driver with scheduled scan
configured, while both mac80211 and cfg80211 will clear
their sched scan state once the work is scheduled.
Fix it by ignoring ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped() calls
while in hw restart, and flush the work before starting
the reconfiguration.

Jouni found a bug in the remain-on-channel logic: when a short item
is queued, a long item is combined with it extending the original
one, and then the long item is deleted, the timeout doesn't go back
to the short one, and the short item ends up taking a long time. In
this case, this showed as blocking scan when running two test cases
back to back - the scan from the second was delayed even though all
the remain-on-channel items should long have been gone.
Fixing this with the current data structures turns out to be a bit
complicated, we just remove the long item from the dependents list
right now and don't recalculate the timeouts.
There's a somewhat similar bug where we delete the short item and
all the dependents go with it; to fix this we'd have to move them
from the dependents to the real list.
Instead of trying to do that, rewrite the code to not have all this
complexity in the data structures: use a single list and allow more
than one entry in it being marked as started. This makes the code a
bit more complex, the worker needs to understand that it might need
to just remove one of the started items, while keeping the device
off-channel, but that's not more complicated than the nested data
structures.
This then fixes both issues described, and makes it easier to also
limit the overall off-channel time when combining.
TODO: as before, with hardware remain-on-channel, deleting an item
after combining results in cancelling them all - we can keep track
of the time elapsed and only cancel after that to fix this.

For now, this feature doesn't actually work. To avoid shipping a
kernel that has it enabled but where it can't be used disable it
for now - we can re-enable it when it's fixed.
This partially reverts 44674d9c22 ("mac80211: advertise support

Requesting hw restart during suspend might result
in the restart work being executed after mac80211
and the hw are suspended.
Solve the race by simply scheduling the restart
work on a freezable workqueue.
Note that there can be some cases of reconfiguration
on resume (besides the hardware restart):
* wowlan is not configured -
All the interfaces removed were removed on suspend,
and drv_stop() was called. At this point the driver
shouldn't expect for hw_restart anyway, so we can
simply cancel it (on resume).
* wowlan is configured, drv_resume() == 1
There is no definitive expected behavior in this case,
as each driver might have different expectations (e.g.
setting some flags on suspend/restart vs. not handling
spurious recovery).
For now, simply let the hw_restart work run again after
resume, and hope the driver will handle it well (or at
least initiate another hw restart).
