Some hardware (e.g. MediaTek MT7603) cannot report A-MPDU length in tx status
information. Add support for a flag to indicate that, to allow minstrel_ht
to use a fixed value in its internal calculation (which gives better results
than just defaulting to 1).

When there are few packets (e.g. for sampling attempts), the exponentially
weighted variance is usually vastly overestimated, making the resulting data
essentially useless. As far as I know, there has not been any practical use
for this, so let's not waste any cycles on it.

This patch adds the statistical descriptor "standard deviation"
to better describe the current properties of Minstrel and

This patch restructures the rc_stats debugfs table of Minstrel-HT in
order to achieve better human readability. A new layout of the
statistics and a new header is added. In addition to the old layout
there are two new columns of information added:
idx - representing the rate index of each rate in mac80211 which
can be used to set specific rates as fixed rate via debugfs
airtime - the tx-time in micro seconds that a 1200 Byte packet
takes to be transmitted over the air at the given rate
The old layout of rc_stats:
type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum)
HT20/LGI MCS0 5.6 100.0 100.0 1 0( 0) 1( 1)
HT20/LGI B MCS1 10.5 100.0 100.0 0 0( 0) 1( 1)
HT20/LGI A MCS2 14.8 100.0 100.0 0 0( 0) 1( 1)

is changed into this new layout:

When displaying a rate through debugfs minstrel_ht guesses its flags
comparing group indexes. Since 3ec373c421 ("mac80211: minstrel_ht:
include type (cck/ht) in rates flag"), the rate flags of interest are
present in the mcs_group-s, so use it.
While improving the code, this also fixes a smatch false positive
"error: testing array offset 'i' after use" in minstrel_ht_stats_dump.
This warning only triggers after 9208247d74 ("mac80211: minstrel_ht:
add basic support for VHT rates <= 3SS@80MHz") with
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_VHT unset because then MINSTREL_VHT_GROUP_0
is above MINSTREL_GROUPS_NB and smatch only barks when the "testing
array offset" seems to prevent possible out of bonds accesses (which
does not happen here since i < ARRAY_SIZE(mi->groups)).

When the new CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_VHT is not set (default 'N'),
there is no behavioral change including in sampling and MCS_GROUP_RATES
remains 8.
Otherwise MCS_GROUP_RATES is 10, and a module parameter *vht_only*
(default 'true'), restricts the rates selection to VHT when VHT is
supported.
Regarding the debugfs stats buffer:
It is explicitly increased from 8k to 32k to fit every rates incl. when
both HT and VHT rates are enabled, as for the format, before:

ATM an HT rc_stats line is 106 chars.
Times 8(MCS_GROUP_RATES)*3(SS)*2(GI)*2(BW) + CCK(4), i.e. x100, this is
well above the current 8192 - sizeof(*ms) currently allocated.
Fix this by squeezing the output as follows (not that we're short on
memory but this also improves readability and range, the new format adds
one more digit to *ok/*cum and ok/cum):
- Before (HT) (106 ch):
type rate throughput ewma prob this prob retry this succ/attempt success attempts
CCK/LP 5.5M 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0( 0) 0 0
HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0 0

type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum)
CCK/LP 5.5M 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0( 0) 0( 0)
HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0( 0)

*This also adds dynamic checks for overflow, lowers the size of the

This patch improves the way minstrel_ht sorts rates according to throughput
and success probability. 3 FOR-loops across the entire rate and mcs group set
in function minstrel_ht_update_stats() which where used to determine the
fastest, second fastest and most robust rate are reduced to 2 FOR-loop.
The sorted list of rates according throughput is extended to the best four
rates as we need them in upcoming joint rate and power control. The sorting
is done via the new function minstrel_ht_sort_best_tp_rates(). The annotation
of those 4 best throughput rates in the debugfs file rc-stats is changes to:
"A,B,C,D", where A is the fastest rate and C the 4th fastest.

Consecutive MCSes in [8*(NSS-1)->8*NSS[ have the same number NSS of
streams (except for MCS32 which is mishandled ATM).
ATM minstrel_ht uses MCS_GROUP_RATES in place of this 8 modulus.
This change replaces such occurences and by doing so allows for different
values of MCS_GROUP_RATES (e.g to cope with VHT MCS8,9).
