With maximum number of vap's configured in a two radio supported
systems of ~256 Mb RAM, doing a continuous wifi down/up and
intermittent traffic streaming from the connected stations results
in failure to allocate contiguous memory for tx buffers. This results
in the disappearance of all VAP's and a manual reboot is needed as
this is not a crash (or) OOM(for OOM killer to be invoked). To address
this allocate contiguous memory for tx buffers one time and re-use them
until the modules are unloaded but this results in a slight increase in
memory footprint of ath10k when the wifi is down, but the modules are
still loaded. Also as of now we use a separate bool 'tx_mem_allocated'
to keep track of the one time memory allocation, as we cannot come up
with something like 'ath10k_tx_{register,unregister}' before
'ath10k_probe_fw' is called as 'ath10k_htt_tx_alloc_cont_frag_desc'

Add NAPI support for rx and tx completion. NAPI poll is scheduled
from interrupt handler. The design is as below
- on interrupt
- schedule napi and mask interrupts
- on poll
- process all pipes (no actual Tx/Rx)
- process Rx within budget
- if quota exceeds budget reschedule napi poll by returning budget
- process Tx completions and update budget if necessary
- process Tx fetch indications (pull-push)
- push any other pending Tx (if possible)
- before resched or napi completion replenish htt rx ring buffer
- if work done < budget, complete napi poll and unmask interrupts
This change also get rid of two tasklets (intr_tq and txrx_compl_task).
Measured peak throughput with NAPI on IPQ4019 platform in controlled
environment. No noticeable reduction in throughput is seen and also
observed improvements in CPU usage. Approx. 15% CPU usage got reduced

Frames that are transmitted via MGMT_TX are using reserved descriptor
slots in firmware. This limitation is for the htt_mgmt_tx path itself,
not for mgmt frames per se. In 16 MBSSID scenario, these reserved slots
will be easy exhausted due to frequent probe responses. So for 10.4
based solutions, probe responses are limited by a threshold (24).
management tx path is separate for all except tlv based solutions. Since
tlv solutions (qca6174 & qca9377) do not support 16 AP interfaces, it is
safe to move management descriptor limitation check under mgmt_tx
function. Though CPU improvement is negligible, unlikely conditions or
never hit conditions in hot path can be avoided on data transmission.

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.

Firmware 10.4.3 onwards can support a pull-push Tx
model where it shares a Tx queue state with the
host.
The host updates the DMA region it pointed to
during HTT setup whenever number of software
queued from (on host) changes. Based on this
information firmware issues fetch requests to the
host telling the host how many frames from a list
of given stations/tids should be submitted to the
firmware.
The code won't be called because not all
appropriate HTT events are processed yet.

Tx pending counter logic assumed that the sk_buff
is already known and hence was performed in HTT
functions themselves.
However, for the sake of future wake_tx_queue()
usage the driver must be able to tell whether it
can submit more frames to firmware before it
dequeues frame from ieee80211_txq (and thus long
before HTT Tx functions are called) because once a
frame is dequeued it cannot be requeud back to
mac80211.
This prepares the driver for future changes.

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.

Initial QCA99X0 support has a known issue with TCP Tx throughput.
All other path such as UDP Tx/Rx and TCP Rx meet their expectation
(> 900Mbps), but TCP Tx marked as low as 5Mbps when single pair is
used on iperf.
The root cause is turned out because TSO flag is not initialized
properly so that firmware configures TSO in wrong way.
TSO flags in msdu extension descriptor is required to be reset
to indicate firmware there is no TSO is enabled, otherwise it
could act as TSO is enabled which causes huge throughput drop.
In fact, it's enough by resetting TSO flags only to prevent the
unexpected behavior, but initializing whole msdu ext. descriptor
will help to clear uncertainty of firmware could bring on as it
constantly updated.

During tx completion, tx_lock is held for longer than required, preventing
efficient refill of htt->pending_tx. Refactor the code so that only MSDU
related operations are protected by the lock.
Improves downstream performance on a dual-core ARM Freescale LS1024A
(f.k.a. Mindspeed Comcerto 2000) AP with a 3x3 client from 495 to 580 Mbps.
Other CPU bound multicore systems may also benefit.

HTT_H2T_MSG_TYPE_MGMT_TX msg in 10.4 firmware carries additional
4 byte in htt_mgmt_tx_desc where it tells to firmware that at what
rate mgmt frame has to go out in the air. It's an optional parameter,
setting this field to zero will force firmware to choose auto rate
and send the frame out.
Those 4 byte info is missed out in the current code and 10.4 firmware
ended up reading some junk in those 4 byte and sometime malfunctioning.
Fix it by adding 4 byte in struct htt_mgmt_tx_desc. Non 10.4 firmware
will not process those four byte. So, adding 4 byte at the end of
struct htt_mgmt_tx_desc will not create any impact on other chipset.

Since QCA99X0 uses fragmentation descriptor differently from
other ones on tx path, we need to handle it separately.
QCA99X0 is using 48 bits for address and 16 bits for length
out of 2 dword and each values have to be programmed by frag
desc base addr + msdu id, so that hardware can retrieve
corresponding frag data.

Pre qca99X0 chipsets follows the model where dynamically allocate
memory for frag desc on getting new skb for TX. But, this is not
going to be the case in qca99X0. It expects frag desc memory to be
allocated at boot time and let the driver to reuse allocated memory
after every TX completion. So there won't be any dynamic frag memory
memory allocation in qca99X0 during data transmission.
qca99X0 hardware doesn't need fragment desc address to be programmed
in msdu descriptor for every data transaction. It needs to know only
starting address of fragment descriptor at the time of the boot.
During data transmission, qca99X0 hardware can retrieve corresponding
frag addr by adding programmed frag desc base addr + msdu id.
Allocate continuous fragment descriptor memory (same size as number of
descriptor) at the time of target initialization and configure allocated
dma address to the target via HTT_H2T_MSG_TYPE_FRAG_DESC_BANK_CFG.
How this is allocated continuous memory is going to be used is not
covered in this patch. It just allocates memory and hand over to firmware.
If we don't do it at init time, qca99X0 will stall when firmware tries
to do TX.

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.

There are a few different tx paths depending on
firmware and frame itself.
Creating a uniform decision will make it possible
to switch between different txmode easier, both
for testing and for future features as well.

HTT Tx protocol uses arbitrary host assigned ids
too associate with MSDUs when delivering
completions.
Instead of rolling out own id generation scheme
use the tools provided in kernel.
This should have little to no effect on
performance.

New firmware revisions don't need peer creation
when doing offchannel tx. Earlier revisions would
queue and never release frames without a peer.
This prevent new firmware revisions from stopping
replenishing wmi-htc tx credits and improves
reliability of offchannel tx which would sometimes
silently fail.

For packet log, the transmitted frame 802.11 header alone is sufficient.
Recording entire packet is also consuming lot of disk space. To optimize
this, tx and rx data tracepoints are splitted into header and payload
tracepoints.
To record tx ieee80211 headers
trace-cmd record -e ath10k_tx_hdr
To record complete packets
trace-cmd record -e ath10k_tx_hdr -e ath10k_tx_payload

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.
