Board Data File (BDF) is loaded upon driver boot-up procedure. The right
board data file is identified, among others, by device and sybsystem ids.
The problem, however, can occur when the (default) board data file cannot
fulfill with the vendor requirements and it is necessary to use a different
board data file.
To solve the issue QCA uses SMBIOS type 0xF8 to store Board Data File Name
Extension to specify the extension/variant name. The driver will take the
extension suffix into consideration and will load the right (non-default)
board data file if necessary.
If it is unnecessary to use extension board data file, please leave the
SMBIOS field blank and default configuration will be used.
Example:
If a default board data file for a specific board is identified by a string
"bus=pci,vendor=168c,device=003e,subsystem-vendor=1028,
subsystem-device=0310"
then the OEM specific data file, if used, could be identified by variant
suffix:
"bus=pci,vendor=168c,device=003e,subsystem-vendor=1028,
subsystem-device=0310,variant=DE_1AB"
If board data file name extension is set but board-2.bin does not contain
board data file for the variant, the driver will fallback to the default
board data file not to break backward compatibility.
This was first applied in commit f2593cb1b2 ("ath10k: Search SMBIOS for OEM
board file extension") but later reverted in commit 005c3490e9 ("Revert
"ath10k: Search SMBIOS for OEM board file extension"". This patch is now
otherwise the same as commit f2593cb1b2 except the regression fixed.

Firmware files are versioned to prevent older
driver instances to load unsupported firmware
blobs. This is reflected with a fallback logic
which attempts to load several firmware files.
This however produced a lot of unnecessary
warnings sometimes confusing users and leading
them to rename firmware files making things even
more confusing.
Hence use request_firmware_direct() which does not
produce extra warnings. This shouldn't really
break anything because most modern systems don't
rely on udev/hotplug helpers to load firmware
files anymore. For example it was confirmed that
LEDE does not user helper.
This also fixes a 60 second delay per _each_
unexistent firmware/calibration file with distros
which have CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK
enabled, RHEL being a notable example. Using
ath10k with firmware-2.bin this might end up
into a five minute delay in boot.

Future improvement would be not to depend on CONFIG_ATH10K_DEBUGFS, as there

With maximum number of vap's configured in a two radio supported
systems of ~256 Mb RAM, doing a continuous wifi down/up and
intermittent traffic streaming from the connected stations results
in failure to allocate contiguous memory for tx buffers. This results
in the disappearance of all VAP's and a manual reboot is needed as
this is not a crash (or) OOM(for OOM killer to be invoked). To address
this allocate contiguous memory for tx buffers one time and re-use them
until the modules are unloaded but this results in a slight increase in
memory footprint of ath10k when the wifi is down, but the modules are
still loaded. Also as of now we use a separate bool 'tx_mem_allocated'

with something like 'ath10k_tx_{register,unregister}' before

During firmware crash (or) user requested manual restart
the system gets into a soft lock up state because of the
below root cause.
During user requested hardware restart / firmware crash
the system goes into a soft lockup state as 'napi_synchronize'
is called after 'napi_disable' (which sets 'NAPI_STATE_SCHED'
bit) and it sleeps into infinite loop as it waits for
'NAPI_STATE_SCHED' to be cleared. This condition is hit because
'ath10k_hif_stop' is called twice as below (resulting in calling
'napi_synchronize' after 'napi_disable')
'ath10k_core_restart' -> 'ath10k_hif_stop' (ATH10K_STATE_ON) ->
-> 'ieee80211_restart_hw' -> 'ath10k_start' -> 'ath10k_halt' ->
'ath10k_core_stop' -> 'ath10k_hif_stop' (ATH10K_STATE_RESTARTING)
Fix this by calling 'ath10k_halt' in ath10k_core_restart itself
as it makes more sense before informing mac80211 to restart h/w
Also remove 'ath10k_halt' in ath10k_start for the state of 'restarting'

Unfortunately ath10k does not generally allow modifying the coverage class
with the stock firmware and Qualcomm has so far refused to implement this
feature so that it can be properly supported in ath10k. If we however know
the registers that need to be modified for proper operation with a higher
coverage class, then we can do these modifications from the driver.
This is a hack and might cause subtle problems but as it's not enabled by
default (only when user space changes the coverage class explicitly) it should
not cause new problems for existing setups. But still this should be considered
as an experimental feature and used with caution.
This patch implements the support for first generation cards (QCA9880, QCA9887
and so on) which are based on a core that is similar to ath9k. The registers
are modified in place and need to be re-written every time the firmware sets
them. To achieve this the register status is verified after certain WMI events
from the firmware.
The coverage class may not be modified temporarily right after the card
re-initializes the registers. This is for example the case during scanning.
Thanks to Sebastian Gottschall <s.gottschall@dd-wrt.com> for initially

Add NAPI support for rx and tx completion. NAPI poll is scheduled
from interrupt handler. The design is as below
- on interrupt
- schedule napi and mask interrupts
- on poll
- process all pipes (no actual Tx/Rx)
- process Rx within budget
- if quota exceeds budget reschedule napi poll by returning budget
- process Tx completions and update budget if necessary
- process Tx fetch indications (pull-push)
- push any other pending Tx (if possible)
- before resched or napi completion replenish htt rx ring buffer
- if work done < budget, complete napi poll and unmask interrupts
This change also get rid of two tasklets (intr_tq and txrx_compl_task).
Measured peak throughput with NAPI on IPQ4019 platform in controlled
environment. No noticeable reduction in throughput is seen and also
observed improvements in CPU usage. Approx. 15% CPU usage got reduced

HW Rx filters and masks are not configured
properly by firmware during boot sequences. The
MAC_PCU_ADDR1 is set to 0s instead of 1s which
allows the HW to ACK any frame that passes through
MAC_PCU_RX_FILTER. The MAC_PCU_RX_FILTER itself
is misconfigured on boot as well.
The combination of these bugs ended up with the
following manifestations:
- "no channel configured; ignoring frame(s)!"
warnings in the driver
- spurious ACKs (transmission) on the air during
firmware bootup sequences
The former was a long standing and known bug
originally though mostly harmless.
However Marek recently discovered that this
problem also involves ACKing *all* frames the HW
receives (including beacons ;). Such frames
are delivered to host and generate the former
warning as well.
This could be a problem with regulatory compliance
in some rare cases (e.g. Taiwan which forbids
transmissions on channel 36 which is the default
bootup channel on 5Ghz band cards). The good news
is that it'd require someone else to violate
regulatory first to coerce our device to generate
and transmit an ACK.
The problem could be reproduced in a rather busy
environment that has a lot of APs. The likelihood
could be increased by injecting an msleep() of
5000 or longer immediately after
ath10k_htt_setup() in ath10k_core_start().
The reason why the former warnings were only
showing up seldom is because the device was either
quickly reset again (i.e. during firmware probing)
or wmi vdev was created (which fixes hw and fw
states).
It is technically possible for host driver to
override adequate hw registers however this can't
work reliably because the bug root cause lies in
incorrect firmware state on boot (internal
structure used to program MAC_PCU_ADDR1 is not
properly initialized) and only vdev create/delete
events can fix it. This is why the patch takes
dummy vdev approach.
This could be fixed in firmware as well but having
this fixed in driver is more robust, most notably
when thinking of users of older firmware such as
999.999.0.636.

In QCA4019, cycle counter wraparound is not tied to rx
clear counter. Each counter would wraparound individually
and after wraparound the respective counter will be reset
to 0x7fffffff while other counter still running unaffected.
Define a new wraparound type for this behaviour and handle
it separately so that rx clear counter wraparound is also
handled just like cycle counter. With this type of
wraparound we can accurately compute and report channel
active/busy time when any of the counter overflows.

QCA988X hw implements a different cycle counter wraparound
behaviour when compared to QCA4019. To properly handle different
wraparound logic for these chipsets replace already available
bool hw_params member, has_shifted_cc_wraparound, with an
enum which could be extended to handle different wraparound
behaviour. This patch keeps the existing logic functionally
same and a prepares cycle counter wraparound handling to
extend for other chips.

CCK hardware table mapping from QCA99X0 onwards got revised.
The CCK hardware rate values are in a proper order wrt. to
rate and preamble as below
ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_LP_1M = 1,
ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_LP_2M = 2,
ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_LP_5_5M = 3,
ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_LP_11M = 4,
ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_SP_2M = 5,
ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_SP_5_5M = 6,
ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_SP_11M = 7,
This results in reporting of rx frames (with CCK rates)
totally wrong for QCA99X0, QCA4019. Fix this by having
separate CCK rate table for these chipsets with rev2 suffix
and registering the correct rate mapping to mac80211 based on
the new hw_param (introduced) 'cck_rate_map_rev2' which shall
be true for any newchipsets from QCA99X0 onwards

During hw scan, firmware sends two channel information events (pre-
complete, complete) to host for each channel change. The snap shot of cycle
counters (rx_clear and total) between these two events are given for
survey dump. In order to get latest survey statistics of all channels, a
scan request has to be issued. In general, an AP DUT is brought up, it
won't leave BSS channel except few cases like overlapping bss or radar
detection. So survey statistics of bss channel is always referring to
older data that are collected before starting AP (either ACS/OBSS scan).
To collect latest survey information from target, firmware provides WMI
interface to read cycle counters from hardware. For each survey dump
request, BSS channel cycle counters are read and cleared in hardware.
This makes sure that behavior is in align with ath9k survey report.
So survey dump always gives snap shot of cycle counters b/w two survey
requests.
