Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 0/5] mac80211 dynamic power save

Here is v4 of my dynamic powersave patches. I have tested them only
with stlc45xx on Nokia N810. I'm also working with iwl3945 and iwlagn
patches based on these patches, but I haven't finished them yet.

These are RFC patches, not yet to be applied.

Patch 3 contains a new flag IEEE80211_HW_NO_DYNAMIC_PS. So all drivers
which firmware doesn't support dynamic power save should use this flag
to enable the feature in mac80211. This is a separate patch just for
easier review. If it's ok, I'll fold it to patch 2.

Patch 4 moves the dynamic_ps_timeout to ieee80211_conf struct. That
way the drivers which have dynamic power save support in firmware can
use the same timeout provided by user space. If this ok I'll fold this
to patch 2.

Patch 5 contains internal interface mac80211 to enable and disable
queues. The original idea and design is from Johannes Berg, I just did
the implementation based on those. All the bugs are mine, of course.

changes in v4:
o add check for station interface to siwpower()
o call hw_config() also for dynamic timeout changes
o add dynamic_ prefix to workqueues
o test for IEEE80211_HW_NO_DYNAMIC_PS in siwpower()
o wrote documentation for IEEE80211_HW_NO_DYNAMIC_PS
o wrote documentation for conf->dynamic_ps_timeout

changes in v3:
o add a hw flag to notify that driver doesn't support dynamic power save and
which will enable mac80211 implementation
o delete dynamic_ps_timer and cancel ps_enable_work during
association, hopefully it's race free now
o provide timeout value to the drivers, for example iwlwifi should use
it (example patch under works)
o fix a bad bug in testing IEEE80211_STA_ASSOCIATED flag with && operator

TODO:
o test with iwlwifi (only in-tree driver using IEEE80211_CONF_PS)

Power save related features which I'll implement later:
o disable power save when software scanning
o beacon period (wakeup period) to the drivers, can be set from user
space but otherwise is bss's DTIM value

I wonder if we should optimise the spinlock here?

Also, I'd prefer to first add this with just a single DRIVER reason
first, and then add the PS patches that add and use the second reason.
Other than that, it looks good to me, thanks!

I'll move the test.

I'll add this check as well.

Thank you for the comments.

Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 2/5] mac80211: implement dynamic power save

This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it
means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it
dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low
latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some
require the host to do it.

The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to
ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace
with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the
dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms:

iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m

Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware.
It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is
considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle.

Thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design.

Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 5/5] mac80211: track master queue status

There are now two paths to stop the master queues and we need to track this
properly to avoid starting queue in the wrong time. Implement this by adding
an array for each queue.

The original idea and design is from Johannes Berg, I just did
the implementation based on his notes. All the bugs are mine, of course.

I only meant to lock/unlock it just once instead of for each possible
queue.

That would be nice, but how to do that?

Yes, that's clean way to do it. I'll change it.

Thank you for all the help with this, much appreciated.

I'll send v5 of my patches later this week.

Shouldn't that test be earlier? There's little sense in supporting PS if
you have a non-STA interface. In fact, it might make sense to check that
there's no other interface (except monitor) open?

Actually, come to think of it, this doesn't make sense unless we also
add a check into the interface start() and then disable PS when another
interface was brought up, let's just leave it at "only on STA
interfaces" and if you manage to screw it up then tough luck.
