Sometimes, it is required to stop the transmissions momentarily and
resume it later; stopping the txqs becomes very critical in scenarios where
the packet transmission has to be ceased completely. For example, during
the hardware restart, during off channel operations,
when initiating CSA(upon detecting a radar on the DFS channel), etc.
The TX queue stop/start logic in mac80211 works well in stopping the TX
when drivers make use of netdev queues, i.e, when Qdiscs in network layer
take care of traffic scheduling. Since the devices implementing
wake_tx_queue can run without Qdiscs, packets will be handed to mac80211
directly without queueing them in the netdev queues.
Also, mac80211 does not invoke any of the
netif_stop_*/netif_wake_* APIs if wake_tx_queue is implemented.
Since the queues are not stopped in this case, transmissions can continue
and this will impact negatively on the operation of the wireless device.
For example,
During hardware restart, we stop the netdev queues so that packets are
not sent to the driver. Since ath10k implements wake_tx_queue,
TX queues will not be stopped and packets might reach the hardware while
it is restarting; this can make hardware unresponsive and the only
possible option for recovery is to reboot the entire system.
There is another problem to this, it is observed that the packets
were sent on the DFS channel for a prolonged duration after radar
detection impacting the channel closing time.
We can still invoke netif stop/wake APIs when wake_tx_queue is implemented
but this could lead to packet drops in network layer; adding stop/start
logic for software TXQs in mac80211 instead makes more sense; the change
proposed adds the same in mac80211.

I think it would be a good idea to either rename the flags, or at least
add an explanation somewhere of the difference between a paused and a
stopped queue...

It's not quite clear to me why a tasklet is needed? Couldn't you just
call the ieee80211_wake_txqs() function at the same place where you
currently schedule the tasklet?

These ones are much better, thanks toke!!
I would probably like to extend the name to _STOP_NETIF_TX; how about
keeping the old one as is and renaming _TXQ_PAUSED to _TXQ_STOP_NETIF_TX ?

Hmm, yeah, not sure whether the two code paths can stomp on each other
if you reuse the flag. It would be neat to be able to reuse it, though...
Otherwise, how about renaming the old one to _STOP_AGGR and calling the
new one _STOP_NETIF or something?

Right, that makes sense :)

Described txq_stopped instead of txqs_stopped; will fix this in the next
version.

Initially, the idea was to use IEEE80211_TXQ_STOP flag to indicate that
iTXQs are stopped; since this flag was used in the aggregation code, I
was unsure whether the same flag can be used to indicate the iTXQ stop
condition.
I could not find any better name for this:-).
Johannes, any thought?

Since driver can also invoke wake_queues() operation; there can be a
possible deadlock situation. At least, in ath10k there was deadlock on
the "htt->tx_lock"; wake_queues() is invoked by taking the tx_lock and
the same lock is acquired again in wake_tx_queue().
Also, by deferring wake_txqs(), drivers can safely invoke wake_queues().

Sure, that works as well :)
