When more clients (128) are connected, the UL data traffic
KPI measurement is low compared to single client. This issue
is due to more CPU cycles spent on the peer lookup operation
with more clients. So reduce the peer lookup operation by
modifying the linear based lookup operation into the rhash
based lookup operation. This improve the peak throughput
measurement. Since this is a software algorithm change, it is
applicable for all the platforms.
TCP UL 128 Clients test case Observation (64bit system):
Previous: ~550 Mbps
Now : ~860 Mbps

Firmware expects host to authorize the peer after the successful key
install. But host authorize the peer before the key install, this trigger
the firmware assert which leads to Q6 crash. To avoid this Q6 crash, host
should authorize the peer after the key install. So introduce is_authorized
in peer object to identify that peer is authorize or not. When
IEEE80211_STA_CONTROL_PORT flag is unset, peer move to authorize state
before the vdev up. When the same flag is set then peer move to authorize
state after vdev up. So added authorise check in ath11k_bss_assoc() to
handle the earlier state transition case. Also added the WMI authorize
procedure in ath11k_mac_op_sta_state() to handle the non-earlier state
transition case.

Tx descriptor search index field should be updated with hw peer id
and not by AST Hash as per the HW/FW recommendation. Incorrect search
index causes throughput degradation in all scenario for all the
platforms. so updated the search index field with hw peer id, which
is a common change applicable for all the platforms. Also no need of these
configuration for non station type. seen 10% throughput increase in WDS
traffic with this change.

For QCA6390, bss peer must be created before vdev is to start. This
change is to start vdev if a bss peer is created. Otherwise, ath11k
delays to start vdev.
This fixes an issue in a case where HT/VHT/HE settings change between
authentication and association, e.g., due to the user space request
to disable HT.

Add the pdev index information in the peer object to validate
the peer creation. Ignore the peer creation request, if the given
MAC address is already present in the peer list with same radio.
If we allow the peer creation in above scenario, FW assert will happen.
Above scenario occurred in two cases, where Multiple AP VAP created in
the same radio.
1. when testing tool sends association request to two AP with same
MAC address
2. when a station do roaming from one AP VAP to another AP VAP.

As Hash based reo destination selection is configured,
the decapped packets reach different reo destintion rings
based on the destintaion ring selected for the computed hash (based on
the 5-tuple {ip src/ip dst/src port/dst port/protocol}) by hw and
as configured by driver.
Hence the current implementation of amsdu list based processing after all
the subframes of amsdu are received (since all msdu's for a pdev are
received in same reo dest ring), is not applicable here and hence is
replaced with per msdu based handling as these subframes
can be received in different reo dest rings.
Also, as some of the rx descriptor fields might be valid only for the
first msdu (for ex. received 80211 header, encryption type, etc),
it might not be useful now as we cannot sync between different
subframes received in different rings. Hence do not rely on those
fields and replace them with fieds valid only on per msdu descriptors.
Also cache other details such as encryption type for a peer so that
it can be reused when a packet is received from it.

IPQ8074 HW has support to verify the PN of the received frames.
For all frames except for fragmented ones, HW checks the PN and
delivers them to the driver. For fragmented frames, driver is
required to do a little more; it has to reassemble the fragments
and then reinject them to the HW for verifying the PN. Currently,
to keep the logic simple, PN verifcation is disabled in HW and is
handled in mac80211 for all the frames (fragmented and unfragmented).
On the contrary, offloading PN Validation to the HW brings important
benefits. It reduces CPU cycles spent on the host CPU for verifying
the same; helps in enabling features which improve performance like
mac80211 fast RX path, enabling multiple REO rings for parallel RX
processing, 802.11 decapsulation offloading. All these features are
dependent on PN offload which in turn is dependent on handling of
the received fragments in the driver.
When TKIP security is used, additional handling is required while
processing the fragments; since MIC is computed on an MSDU in TKIP,
only the last fragment has the MIC info. In this case, driver has to
compute the MIC after reassembly and compare it against the MIC
present in the frame. For this, MICHAEL_MIC kernel crypto library
APIs are used and the dependencies are appropriately set.

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.
