2022-12-07wifi: ath11k: remap ce register space for IPQ5018Sriram R1-0/+5
In IPQ5018 ce register space is moved out of wcss unlike ipq8074 or ipq6018 and the space is not contiguous, hence remap the CE registers to a new space to access them. Register read/write is modified to check if the register to be written falls in the CE register space and corresponding register is written. Also adjust the interrupt register address to ce irq enable/disable.

2022-09-10wifi: ath11k: Add multi TX ring support for WCN6750Manikanta Pubbisetty1-0/+2
Currently in the case of WCN6750, only one TCL ring is used for TX, this is limiting the TX throughput in 160 MHz case, enabling multiple TCL rings on WCN6750 has shown an improvement of nearly 300 Mbps in the case of TCP TX, therefore add the support of multi TX ring for WCN6750. Currently TCL ring is selected based on CPU ID, this logic cannot be applied for WCN6750 as there is chance of out of order TX of packets and to avoid this, choose TCL ring based on flow hash so that packets of the same flow will end up on same TCL ring. For the same reason, TCL ring retry logic is also not applicable for WCN6750. Also the mapping of TCL, WBM & RBM IDs for WCN6750 is different from existing devices. Create a new TCM/WBM/RBM mapping for WCN6750. Change does not impact existing ath11k devices.

2022-05-06ath11k: Fix RX de-fragmentation issue on WCN6750Manikanta Pubbisetty1-1/+1
The offset of REO register where the RX fragment destination ring is configured is different in WCN6750 as compared to WCN6855. Due to this differnce in offsets, on WCN6750, fragment destination ring will be configured incorrectly, leading to RX fragments not getting delivered to the driver. Fix this by defining HW specific offsets for the REO MISC CTL register.

As a result lockdep suspects that the task is trying to acquire the same lock (due to same key) while already holding it, and thus reports the DEADLOCK warning. However as they are different spinlock instances, the warning is false positive. On the other hand, even no dead lock indeed, this is a major issue for upstream regression testing as it disables lockdep functionality. Fix it by assigning separate lock class key for each srng->lock.

2020-03-18ath11k: Configure hash based reo destination ring selectionSriram R1-1/+11
Current implementation of pdev based reo destination ring selection is replaced by hash based ring selection so as to ensure all the available rings are utilized for better performance. The 4 reo destination rings are selected by the HW based on the hash value computed from the received packet based on the 5 tuple {ip src/ip dst/src port/dst port/protocol}. Out of the 32 hash values used by the hw, the driver assigns 8 values per reo destination ring to each of the 4 reo destination rings.

Dumping the SRNG stats during FW assert, this would help in debugging ring stuck issues.

2020-03-17ath11k: enable PN offloadManikanta Pubbisetty1-1/+1
Enabling PN checking in the hardware; hardware checks the PN of the received packets and reports the errors to the host for further handling; default action is to drop such packets. TSC (TKIP sequence counter) validation is also offloaded. Hardware validates PN/TSC only for unicast packets; for group addressed packets, PN validation is done in mac80211. PN errors are reported to the driver via WBM RX release ring and can be dumped by using the following command. "cat /sys/kernel/debug/ath11k/soc_rx_stats | grep -i pn" Sample Output: PN check fail: 210 Signed-off-by: Manikanta Pubbisetty <mpubbise@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>
2019-11-25ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devicesKalle Valo1-0/+897
ath11k is a new driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices, first supporting only IPQ8074 SoC using the shared memory AHB bus. ath11k uses mac80211 and supports AP, Station and Mesh modes. Even though ath11k has some similar code as with ath10k (especially the WMI layer) it was concluded to be simpler to have a "clean start" for ath11k code base and not try to share the code with ath10k. This makes maintenance easier and avoids major changes in ath10k, which would have significantly increased the risk of regressions in existing setups. Even though the driver is very similar with ath10k but there are major differences as well. The datapath is completely different. ath11k supports multiple MACs, called "soc" in the firmware interface. And there's only one WMI interface to support. Currently ath11k supports only IEEE 802.11ac mode, but patches for 802.11ax are available and they will be submitted after ath11k is accepted to upstream. The firmware images are available from ath11k-firmware repository but they will be also submitted to linux-firmware: https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmware This was tested with firmware version WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-00629-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1. The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabetical order below.
