Driver could possibly be dead-locked while canceling works with
*_sync() with mutex lock held. Those cancel_delayed_work_sync()
functions will wait until the work is done, but if we hold the
lock, they will never acquire the lock.
To prevent this, simply release the lock and acquire again after
the works have been canceled. And to avoid the works being queued
again, check if the device is at RTW_FLAG_RUNNING state, otherwise
just return and do nothing.

Net-detect is an option of wowlan to allow the device to
be woken up from suspend mode when configured network is detected.
When user enables net-detect and lets the device enter suspend
state, wowlan firmware will periodically scan until beacon or
probe response of configured networks are received.
Between two scans, wowlan firmware keeps wifi chip in idle mode
to reduce power consumption. If configured networks are detected,
wowlan firmware will trigger resume process.

Pattern match is an option of wowlan to allow the device
to be woken up from suspend mode when receiving packets
matched user-designed patterns.
The patterns are written into hardware cam in suspend flow
if users have set up them. If packets matched designed
pattern are received, wowlan firmware will get an interrupt
and then wake up the device.

Wake on WLAN(wowlan) is a feature which allows devices
to be woken up from suspend state through wlan events.
When user enables wowlan feature and then let the device
enter suspend state, wowlan firmware will be loaded by
the driver and periodically monitors wifi packets.
Power consumption of wifi chip will be reduced in this
state.
If wowlan firmware detects that specific wlan event
happens, it will issue wakeup signal to trigger resume
process. Driver will load normal firmware and let wifi
chip return to the original state.
Currently supported wlan events include receiving magic packet,
rekey packet and deauth packet, and disconnecting from AP.

The temperature of the chip can affect the output power
of the RF components. Hence driver requires to compensate
the power by adjusting the power index recorded in the
power swing table.
And if the difference of current thermal value to the
default thermal value exceeds a threshold, the RF IQK
should be triggered to re-calibrate the characteristics
of the RF components, to keep the output IQ vectors of
the RF components orthogonal enough.

When downloading the reserved page, the first page always contains
a beacon for the firmware to reference. For non-beaconing modes such
as station mode, also put a blank skb with length=1.
And for the beaconing modes, driver will get a real beacon with a
length approximate to the page size. But as the beacon is always put
at the first page, it does not need a tx_desc, because the TX path
will generate one when TXing the reserved page to the hardware. So we
could allocate a buffer with a size smaller than the reserved page,
when using memcpy() to copy the content of reserved page to the buffer,
the over-sized reserved page will violate the kernel memory.
To fix it, add the tx_desc before memcpy() the reserved packets to
the buffer, then we can get SKBs with correct length when counting
the pages in total. And for page 0, count the extra tx_desc_sz that
the TX path will generate. This way, the first beacon that allocated
without tx_desc can be counted with the extra tx_desc_sz to get
actual pages it requires.

Based on the mac80211's TXQ implementation, TX-AMSDU can
be used to get higher MAC efficiency. To make mac80211
aggregate MSDUs, low level driver just need to leave skbs
in the TXQ, and mac80211 will try to aggregate them if
possible. As driver will schedule a tasklet when the TX
queue is woke, until the tasklet being served, there will
have some skbs in the queue if traffic is heavy.
Driver can control the max AMSDU size depending on the
current bit rate used by hardware/firmware. The higher
rates are used, the larger AMSDU size can be.
It is tested that can achieve higher T-Put at higher rates.
If the environment is relatively clean, and the bit_rate
is high enough, we can get about 80Mbps improvement.
For lower bit rates, not much gain can we get, so leave
the max_amsdu length low to prevent aggregation.

Whenever the firmware increases/decreases the bit rate used
to transmit to a peer, it sends an RA report through C2H to
driver. Driver can then record the bit rate in the peer's
struct rtw_sta_info, and report to mac80211 when it asks us
for the statistics of the sta by ieee80211_ops::sta_statistics

Both RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE are WiFi + BT combo chips. Since
WiFi and BT use 2.4GHz to transmit, it is important to
make sure they run concurrently without interfering each
other. To achieve this, WiFi driver requires a mechanism
to collaborate with BT, whether they share the antenna(s)
or not.
The final decision made by the co-existence mechanism is
to choose a proper strategy, or called "tdma/table", and
inform either firmware or hardware of the strategy.
To choose a strategy, co-existence mechanism needs to
have enough information from WiFi and BT.
BT information is provided through firmware C2H.
The contents describe the current status of BT, such as
if BT is connected or is idle, or the profile that is
being used.
WiFi information can be provided by WiFi itself. The WiFi
driver will call various of "notify" functions each time
the state of WiFi changed, such as WiFi is going to switch
channel or is connected. Also WiFi driver can know if it
shares antenna with BT by reading efuse content. Antenna
configuration of the module will finally get a different
strategy.
Upon receiving any information from WiFi or BT, the WiFi
driver will run the co-existence mechanism immediately.
It will set the RF antenna configuration according to the
strategy through the TDMA H2C to firmware and a hardware
table. Based on the tdma/table, WiFi + BT should work with
each other, and having a better user experience.

This is a new mac80211 driver for Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips.
rtw88 now supports RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE now, with basic station mode
functionalities. The firmware for both can be found at linux-firmware.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
For RTL8822BE: rtw88/rtw8822b_fw.bin
For RTL8822CE: rtw88/rtw8822c_fw.bin
And for now, only PCI buses (RTL8xxxE) are supported. We will add support
for USB and SDIO in the future. The bus interface abstraction can be seen
in this driver such as hci.h. Most of the hardware setting are the same
except for some TRX path or probing setup should be separated.
Supported:
* Basic STA/AP/ADHOC mode, and TDLS (STA is well tested)
Missing feature:
* WOW/PNO
* USB & SDIO bus (such as RTL8xxxU/RTL8xxxS)
* BT coexistence (8822B/8822C are combo ICs)
* Multiple interfaces (for now single STA is better supported)
* Dynamic hardware calibrations (to improve/stabilize performance)
Potential problems:
* static calibration spends too much time, and it is painful for
driver to leave IDLE state. And slows down associate process.
But reload function are under development, will be added soon!
* TRX statictics misleading, as we are not reporting status correctly,
or say, not reporting for "every" packet.
The next patch set should have BT coexistence code since RTL8822B/C are
combo ICs, and the driver for BT can be found after Linux Kernel v4.20.
So it is better to add it first to make WiFi + BT work concurrently.
Although now rtw88 is simple but we are developing more features for it.
Even we want to add support for more chips such as RTL8821C/RTL8814B.
Finally, rtw88 has many authors, listed alphabetically:
