* mac80211: make rate control tx status API more extensibleFelix Fietkau2017-04-281-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Rename .tx_status_noskb to .tx_status_ext and pass a new on-stack struct ieee80211_tx_status instead of struct ieee80211_tx_info. This struct can be used to pass extra information, e.g. for dynamic tx power control Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

* cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_bandJohannes Berg2016-04-121-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* mac80211: minstrel: Change expected throughput unit back to KbpsSven Eckelmann2016-02-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The change from cur_tp to the function minstrel_get_tp_avg/minstrel_ht_get_tp_avg changed the unit used for the current throughput. For example in minstrel_ht the correct conversion between them would be: mrs->cur_tp / 10 == minstrel_ht_get_tp_avg(..). This factor 10 must also be included in the calculation of minstrel_get_expected_throughput and minstrel_ht_get_expected_throughput to return values with the unit [Kbps] instead of [10Kbps]. Otherwise routing algorithms like B.A.T.M.A.N. V will make incorrect decision based on these values. Its kernel based implementation expects expected_throughput always to have the unit [Kbps] and not sometimes [10Kbps] and sometimes [Kbps]. The same requirement has iw or olsrdv2's nl80211 based statistics module which retrieve the same data via NL80211_STA_INFO_TX_BITRATE.

* mac80211: add standard deviation to Minstrel statsThomas Huehn2015-04-011-5/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the statistical descriptor "standard deviation" to better describe the current properties of Minstrel and Minstrel-HTs success probability distribution. The standard deviation (SD) is calculated as exponential weighted moving standard deviation (EWMSD) and its current value is added as new column in all rc_stats (in debugfs).

While at it, replace get_random_bytes with prandom_bytes since PRNs are way enough for the selection process. After this, minstrel_ht reclaims 80 PR-bytes instead of 640 R-bytes. minstrels use sample tables to probe different rates in a randomized manner. minstrel_ht inits one single sample table upon registration (during subsys_initcalls) and minstrel uses one per STA addition in minstrel.

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_sort_best_tp_rates(). The most robust rate selection is aligned with minstrel_ht's approach. Once any success probability is above 95% the one with the highest throughput is chosen as most robust rate. If success probabilities of all rates are below 95%, the rate with the highest succ. prob. is elected as most robust one Acked-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Huehn <thomas@net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

* mac80211: add lowest rate into minstrel's random rate sampling tableThomas Huehn2013-03-061-13/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While minstrel bootstraps and fills the success probabilities of each rate the lowest rate has typically a very high success probability (often 100% in our tests). Its statistics are never updated but considered to setup the mrr chain. In our tests we see that especially the 3rd mrr stage (which is that rate providing highest success probability) is filled with the lowest rate because its initial high sucess probability is never updated. By design the 4th mrr stage is filled with the lowest rate so often 3rd and 4th mrr stage are equal. This patch follows minstrels general approach of assuming as little as possible about rate dependencies. Consequently we include the lowest rate into the random sampling table to get balanced up-to-date statistics of all rates and therefore balanced decisions.

* mac80211: extend minstrel's rate sampling to avoid unsampled ratesThomas Huehn2013-03-061-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Minstrel's decision which rate should be directly sampled within the 1st mrr stage is limited to such rates faster than the current max throughput rate. All rates below the current max. throughput rate are indirectly sampled via the 2nd mrr stage. This approach leads to deprecated per rate statistics and therfore a deprecated mrr chain setup. This patch uses the sampling approach from minstrel_ht. A counter is added to sum all indirect sample attempts per rate. After 20 indirect sampling attempts the rate is directly sampled within the 1st mrr stage. Therefore more up-to-date statistics for all rates are maintained and used to setup the mrr chain.

Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* | minstrel: make the rate control ops reusable from another rc implementationFelix Fietkau2010-03-101-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | This patch makes it possible to reuse the minstrel rate control ops from another rate control module. This is useful in preparing for the new 802.11n implementation of minstrel, which will reuse the old code for legacy stations. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

* rc80211_minstrel: fix contention window calculationPavel Roskin2009-09-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | The contention window is supposed to be a power of two minus one, i.e. 15, 31, 63, 127... minstrel_rate_init() forgets to subtract 1, so the sequence becomes 15, 32, 66, 134...

* mac80211: Decouple fail_avg stats used by mesh from rate control algorithm.Javier Cardona2009-08-201-15/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mesh uses the tx failure average to compute the (m)path metric. This used to be done inside the rate control module. This patch breaks the dependency between the mesh stack and the rate control algorithm. Mesh will now work independently of the chosen rate control algorithm. The mesh stack keeps a moving average of the average transmission losses for each mesh peer station. If the fail average exceeds a certain threshold, the peer link is marked as broken.

* mac80211: Early detection of broken mesh paths when using minstrel.Javier Cardona2009-08-141-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | This change triggers a path discovery as soon as the link quality degrades below a certain threshold. This results in a faster path recovery time than by simply relying on the periodic path refresh mechanism to detect broken links.

* mac80211: Update the station failed frames average when minstrel is used.Javier Cardona2009-08-141-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | The fail_avg value is used to compute the mesh metric, and was only being set by the pid rate control module. This fixes the mesh path selection mechanism for cards that use mistrel for rate control. Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: add helper for management / no-ack frame rate decisionLuis R. Rodriguez2009-07-241-21/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All current rate control algorithms agree to send management and no-ack frames at the lowest rate. They also agree to do this when sta and the private rate control data is NULL. We add a hlper to mac80211 for this and simplify the rate control algorithm code. Developers wishing to make enhancements to rate control algorithms are for broadcast/multicast can opt to not use this in their gate_rate() mac80211 callback.
