Johannes Berg ed1b6e99b5 iwlwifi: remove noise reporting
We go to great lengths to calculate this value
that is never used by mac80211. Additionally,
it is now deprecated by mac80211 and is causing
driver compilation to give warnings.

Reinette Chatre fe6b23dd36 iwlwifi: implement new mac80211 station add/remove calls
mac80211 recently implemented two new callbacks that are used to request
station add/remove from the driver. The benefot from these new callbacks
are that they enable the driver to sleep while performing this work.

This is a big patch since a few things need to be coordinated in this move.
First we need to decouple station management from rate scaling, which
caused a lot of code to be moved and/or deleted. Next we needed to tie in
with mac80211's station management callback and let it direct our station
management as well as trigger the rate scaling initialization.

Error checking for aggregation frames should go into aggregation queue,
if aggregation queue not available, use legacy queue instead.
Also make sure the aggregation queue is available to activate,
if driver and mac80211 is out-of-sync, try to disable the queue and
sync-up with mac80211.

Reinette Chatre 8d9698b3e6 iwlagn: store station rate scale information in mac80211 station structure
Currently mac80211 initializes the rate scaling before notifying the driver
of the station's existence. The driver dealt with this by not relying on
mac80211's station notifications and instead mixing this functionality with
the rate scaling code and other places. To clean this up the driver needs
to do rate scaling initialization after being notified of the station, this
can be done if the rate scaling information forms part of the station
information passed from mac80211 to driver.

Daniel C Halperin e3949d6286 iwlwifi: add aggregation tables to the rate scaling algorithm
Current rate scale algorithm fluctuates between different MIMO modes fairly
rapidly, causing widely varying performance. These fluctuations occur because in
the rate_scale tables for expected throughput the values are not very different
for different modes.

However, when aggregation is turned on and MAC overhead is reduced, the
expected throughput for different MIMO modes grows and different modes have
vastly different performance. Add expected throughput tables for this case.

We also need to keep track of aggregation status per-station, so we add the
"is_agg" field to struct lq_sta.

Also includes cleanup of comments and variable names in/around the affected
code.

Wey-Yi Guy 47eef9bd10 iwlwifi: Use RTS/CTS as the preferred protection mechanism for 6000 series
When 802.11g was introduced, we had RTS/CTS and CTS-to-Self protection
mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field
in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use
protection.

The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.

When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.

By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.

For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.

Daniel C Halperin 31513be8a0 iwlwifi: use iwl_hwrate_get_mac80211_idx where appropriate
For HT packets, mac80211 expects the rate_idx to be an MCS number, which is the
lower byte of rate_n_flags.  However, iwl_hwrate_to_plcp_idx takes the MCS
number and reduces it down to the range 0-8 (6 to 60 Mbps), removing the bits
that signify multiply streams, HT40 Duplicate mode, or unequal modulation.
This version is used for various internal purposes through the driver.

Add the function iwl_hwrate_get_mac80211_idx, an alternate version which takes
the rate and the band and returns the mac80211 index (MCS, for HT packets, and
PLCP rate, for legacy packets).

Daniel C Halperin ddfcf99927 iwlwifi: do not set dual_stream_ant_msk for 3 streams
This patch fixes a bug introduced by commit "iwlwifi: adding MIMO3 support
in rate scaling". We should not set the dual_stream_ant_msk (for 2x2 MIMO)
when using a 3x3 rate, this will cause a SYSASSERT in uCode.

Note: there is no triple_stream_ant_msk, because all three antennas are used.

debugging rate scaling algorithm, easy to understand what is the current
rate scale table and matching modulation, plus the last mcs used for tx.

Wey-Yi Guy 584a0f0063 iwlwifi: adding MIMO3 support in rate scaling
Separated the MIMO tpt matrix into MIMO2 and MIMO3, adding MIMO3 support
in rate scaling algorithm. If the device support 3x3, then utilize all
three antenna (A/B/C) for tx to improve throughput.

Adding rs_switch_to_mimo3() function to allow switch to mimo3 modulation
mode from other modes(legacy/siso/mimo2). Adding rs_move_mimo3_to_other()
function to allow switch from mimo3 modulation mode to either siso or mimo2;
also support toggle between SGI and NGI.

Wey-Yi Guy 3c4955f8d9 iwlwifi: verify the antenna selection when receive fixed rate debugfs
When iwlwifi driver receive fixed rate debugfs command, validate the
antenna selection, if the selection is invalid, report the valid antenna
choice and do not set the rate scale table to fixed rate. Otherwise, set
the entire rate scale table to the fixed rate request by the user. this
validation can prevent sysassert happen in uCode

Wey-Yi Guy df36c044f5 iwlwifi: check IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU for agg pkt
when perform rate scaling, in tx status function, checking for
IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag instead of IEEE_TX_CTL_AMPDU flag to perform
AMPDU rate scaling operation.

IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU was set by mac80211 for aggregation pkt. But when
iwlwifi receive the tx status reply, it reset the flag to following
	info->flags = IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK;
	info->flags |= IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU;
it causes the rate-scaling to not work for aggregation pkt if we checking
for IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU flag.

Wey-Yi Guy 8fe723117a iwlwifi: HT performance improvement changes
During rate scaling, checking for 0 retry count before decrement
the count by 1, this can avoid the retry count to become 255 (0xff),
which will cause the rate to drop faster than what we expect during good
condition (receive 0 retry packet). also change the algorithm to make
the rate not drop faster than what we like.
