a000 devices queue management is going to change significantly.
We will have 512 queues. Those queues will be assigned number
by the firmware and not by the driver.
In addition, due to SN offload having TX queue shared between TIDs
is impossible
Also, the ADD_STA command no longer updates queues status.
The only point of changing queue in the SCD queue config API.
From driver perspective we have here a new design:
Queue sharing and inactivity checks are disabled.
Once this is done, the only paths that call scd_queue_cfg command
are paths that alloc and release TX queues - which will make future
accommodation to queue number assignment by FW easier.
Since allocating 512 queues statically is not advisable, transport
will allocate the queue on demand, fill the command with DRAM data
and send it. This is reflected in the new transport API.

When a station is asleep, the fw will set it as "asleep".
All queues that are used only by one station will be stopped by
the fw.
In pre-DQA mode this was relevant for aggregation queues. However,
in DQA mode a queue is owned by one station only, so all queues
will be stopped.
As a result, we don't expect to get filtered frames back to
mac80211 and don't have to maintain the entire pending_frames
state logic, the same way as we do in aggregations.
The correct behavior is to align DQA behavior with the aggregation
queue behaviour pre-DQA:
- Don't count pending frames.
- Let mac80211 know we have frames in these queues so that it can
properly handle trigger frames.
When a trigger frame is received, mac80211 tells the driver to send
frames from the queues using release_buffered_frames.
The driver will tell the fw to let frames out even if the station
is asleep. This is done by iwl_mvm_sta_modify_sleep_tx_count.

In DQA mode, first_agg_queue is initialized to
IWL_MVM_DQA_MIN_DATA_QUEUE. This causes two bugs in the tx response
flow:
1. When TX fails, we set IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK regardless
if we actually have aggregation open on the queue. This causes
mac80211 to send a BAR frame even though there is no aggregation
open.
Fix that by simply checking the AMPDU flag that is set on by
mac80211 for AMPDU packets.
2. When reclaiming frames in aggregation mode, we reclaim based on
scheduler ssn and not the SN.
The reason is that scheduler ssn may be ahead of SN due to a hole
in the BA window that was filled.
However, if we have aggregations open on IWL_MVM_DQA_BSS_CLIENT_QUEUE
the reclaim flow will still go to the code of non-aggregation
instead of the aggregation code since IWL_MVM_DQA_BSS_CLIENT_QUEUE
is smaller than IWL_MVM_DQA_MIN_DATA_QUEUE, although it is a valid
aggregation queue.
Fix that by always using the aggregation reclaim code by default in
DQA mode (currently it is implicitly used by default for all queues
except the reserved BSS queue).

In DQA mode the check whether to decrement the pending frames
counter relies on the tid status and not on the txq id.
This may result in an inconsistent state of the pending frames
counter in case frame is queued on a non aggregation queue but
with this TID, and will be followed by a failure to remove the
station and later on SYSASSERT 0x3421 when trying to remove the
MAC.
Such frames are for example bar and qos NDPs.
Fix it by aligning the condition of incrementing the counter
with the condition of decrementing it - rely on TID state for
DQA mode.
Also, avoid internal error like this affecting station removal
for DQA mode - since we can know for sure it is an internal
error.

Instead of setting the tx_cmd length in the mvm code, which is
complicated by the fact that DQA may want to temporarily store
the SKB on the side, adjust the length in the PCIe code which
also knows about this since it's responsible for duplicating
all those headers that are account for in this code.
As the PCIe code already relies on the tx_cmd->len field, this
doesn't really introduce any new dependencies.
To make this possible we need to move the memcpy() of the TX
command until after it was updated.
This does even simplify the code though, since the PCIe code
already does a lot of manipulations to build A-MSDUs correctly
and changing the length becomes a simple operation to see how
much was added/removed, rather than predicting it.

This doesn't entirely fix the bug with frames not getting sent
out after having been deferred due to DQA, because it doesn't
restore the info->driver_data[0] place that was already set to
zero (or another value) by the A-MSDU logic.

had the same tid as aggregation frames and were queued on
a non aggregation queue. The pending frames counter included

The result was an inconsistent state of the pending frames

This failure triggered SYSASSERT 0x3421.
In addition, fix a situation in DQA mode where the number

The TSO code creates A-MSDUs from a single large send. Each
A-MSDU is an skb and skb->len doesn't include the number of
bytes which need to be added for the headers being added
(subframe header, TCP header, IP header, SNAP, padding).
To be able to set the right value in the Tx command, we
put the number of bytes added by those headers in
driver_data in iwl_mvm_tx_tso and use this value in
iwl_mvm_set_tx_cmd.
The problem by setting this value in driver_data is that
it overrides the ieee80211_tx_info. The bug manifested
itself when we send P2P related frames in CCK since the
rate in ieee80211_tx_info is zero-ed. This of course is
a violation of the P2P specification.
To fix this, copy the original ieee80211_tx_info to the
stack and pass it to the functions which need it.
Assign the number of bytes added by the headers to the
driver_data inside the skb itself.

"DQA" is shorthand for "dynamic queue allocation". This
enables on-demand allocation of queues per RA/TID rather than
statically allocating per vif, thus allowing a potential
benefit of various factors.
Please refer to the DOC section this patch adds to sta.h to
see a more in-depth explanation of this feature.
There are many things to take into consideration when working
in DQA mode, and this patch is only one in a series. Note that
default operation mode is non-DQA mode, unless the FW
indicates that it supports DQA mode.
This patch enables support of DQA for a station connected to
an AP, and works in a non-aggregated mode.
When a frame for an unused RA/TID arrives at the driver, it
isn't TXed immediately, but deferred first until a suitable
queue is first allocated for it, and then TXed by a worker
that both allocates the queues and TXes deferred traffic.
When a STA is removed, its queues goes back into the queue
pools for reuse as needed.
