Felix Fietkau 82b873afe8 ath9k: clean up tx buffer setup
Merge ath_tx_send_normal and ath_tx_send_ht_normal.
Move the paprd state initialization and sequence number assignment
to reduce the number of redundant checks.

This not only simplifies buffer allocation error handling, but also
removes a small inconsistency in the buffer HT flag.
This flag should only be set if the frame is also a QoS data frame.

TX underruns were noticed when RTS/CTS preceded aggregates.
This issue was noticed in ar93xx family of chipsets only.
The workaround involves padding the RTS or CTS length up
to the min packet length of 256 bytes required by the

Felix Fietkau 066dae93bd ath9k: rework tx queue selection and fix queue stopping/waking
The current ath9k tx queue handling code showed a few issues that could
lead to locking issues, tx stalls due to stopped queues, and maybe even
DMA issues.

The main source of these issues is that in some places the queue is
selected via skb queue mapping in places where this mapping may no
longer be valid. One such place is when data frames are transmitted via
the CAB queue (for powersave buffered frames). This is made even worse
by a lookup WMM AC values from the assigned tx queue (which is
undefined for the CAB queue).

This messed up the pending frame counting, which in turn caused issues
with queues getting stopped, but not woken again.

To fix these issues, this patch removes an unnecessary abstraction
separating a driver internal queue number from the skb queue number
(not to be confused with the hardware queue number).

It seems that this abstraction may have been necessary because of tx
queue preinitialization from the initvals. This patch avoids breakage
here by pushing the software <-> hardware queue mapping to the function
that assigns the tx queues and redefining the WMM AC definitions to
match the numbers used by mac80211 (also affects ath9k_htc).

To ensure consistency wrt. pending frame count tracking, these counters
are moved to the ath_txq struct, updated with the txq lock held, but
only where the tx queue selected by the skb queue map actually matches
the tx queue used by the driver for the frame.

Luis R. Rodriguez 78a7685e1e ath9k: add a debug warning when we cannot stop RX
We have seen several DMA races when we race against
stopping and starting the PCU. I suspect that when
we cannot stop the PCU we may hit some of these same
races so warn against them for now but only when
debugging (CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG) is enabled.

If you run into this warning and are a developer,
please fix the cause of the warning. The potential
here, although I cannot prove yet, is that the DMA
engine can be confused and start writing to a buffer
that was already DMA'd before and at least the kernel
assumes is not being accessed by hardware anymore.

Because all of the descriptor data structures are marked as __packed, GCC
assumes the worst case wrt. alignment and generates unaligned load/store

Since descriptors always have to be 4-byte-aligned, we can just mark the
data structures with __aligned(4), which allows GCC to generate much more
efficient code.

Felix Fietkau e609e2ea2c ath9k: fix tx aggregation flush on AR9003
Completing aggregate frames can lead to new buffers being pushed into
the tid queues due to software retransmission.
When the tx queues are being drained, all pending aggregates must be
completed before the tid queues get drained, otherwise buffers might be
leaked.

Luis R. Rodriguez 5e848f789d ath9k: lock reset and PCU start/stopping

between hardware resets.

Luis R. Rodriguez b79b33c4ba ath9k: rename rxflushlock to pcu_lock
The real way to lock RX is to contend on the PCU
and reset, this will be fixed in the next patch but for
now just do the renames so that the next patch which changes
the locking order is crystal clear.

Luis R. Rodriguez 7583c550c3 ath9k: add locking for starting the PCU on RX
There was some locking for starting some parts of
RX but not for starting the PCU. Include this otherwise
we can content against stopping the PCU.

This can potentially lead to races against different
buffers on the PCU which can lead to to the DMA RX
engine writing to buffers which are already freed.
