Subject: [PATCH v8 0/2] Implement Airtime-based Queue Limit (AQL)

This patch series port the Airtime Queue Limits concept from the out-of-tree
ath10k implementation[0] to mac80211. This version takes my patch to do the
throttling in mac80211, and replaces the driver API with the mechanism from
Toke's series, which instead calculated the expected airtime at dequeue time
inside mac80211, storing it in the SKB cb field.

This version has been tested on QCA9984 platform.

[0] https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/1703105/7

Changelog:

v8:
- Includes Toke's v7 version of "mac80211: Import airtime calculation code from mt76"
- Don't clobber sta's customized queue limit when configuring the default via debugfs
- Fix a racing condition when reset aql_tx_pending.

v7:
- Fix aql_total_pending_airtime underflow due to insufficient locking.

v6:
- Fix sta lookup in ieee80211_report_used_skb().
- Move call to ieee80211_sta_update_pending_airtime() to a bit later in
__ieee80211_tx_status()
v5:
- Add missing export of ieee80211_calc_rx_airtime() and make
ieee80211_calc_tx_airtime_rate() static (kbuildbot).
- Use skb_get_queue_mapping() to get the AC from the skb.
- Take basic rate configuration for the BSS into account when calculating
multicast rate.
v4:
- Fix calculation that clamps the maximum airtime to fit into 10 bits
- Incorporate Rich Brown's nits for the commit message in Kan's patch
- Add fewer local variables to ieee80211_tx_dequeue()
v3:
- Move the tx_time_est field so it's shared with ack_frame_id, and use units
of 4us for the value stored in it.
- Move the addition of the Ethernet header size into ieee80211_calc_expected_tx_airtime()
v2:
- Integrate Kan's approach to airtime throttling.
- Hopefully fix the cb struct alignment on big-endian architectures.

Subject: [v8 PATCH 1/2] mac80211: Import airtime calculation code from mt76

From: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <[email protected]>

Felix recently added code to calculate airtime of packets to the mt76
driver. Import this into mac80211 so we can use it for airtime queue limit
calculations.

The airtime.c file is copied verbatim from the mt76 driver, and adjusted to
be usable in mac80211. This involves:

- Switching to mac80211 data structures.
- Adding support for 160 MHz channels and HE mode.
- Moving the symbol and duration calculations around a bit to avoid
rounding with the higher rates and longer symbol times used for HE rates.

The per-rate TX rate calculation is also split out to its own function so
it can be used directly for the AQL calculations later.

Subject: [v8 PATCH 2/2] mac80211: Implement Airtime-based Queue Limit (AQL)

In order for the Fq_CoDel algorithm integrated in mac80211 layer to operate
effectively to control excessive queueing latency, the CoDel algorithm
requires an accurate measure of how long packets stays in the queue, AKA
sojourn time. The sojourn time measured at the mac80211 layer doesn't
include queueing latency in the lower layer (firmware/hardware) and CoDel
expects lower layer to have a short queue. However, most 802.11ac chipsets
offload tasks such TX aggregation to firmware or hardware, thus have a deep
lower layer queue.

Without a mechanism to control the lower layer queue size, packets only
stay in mac80211 layer transiently before being sent to firmware queue.
As a result, the sojourn time measured by CoDel in the mac80211 layer is
almost always lower than the CoDel latency target, hence CoDel does little
to control the latency, even when the lower layer queue causes excessive
latency.

The Byte Queue Limits (BQL) mechanism is commonly used to address the
similar issue with wired network interface. However, this method cannot be
applied directly to the wireless network interface. "Bytes" is not a
suitable measure of queue depth in the wireless network, as the data rate
can vary dramatically from station to station in the same network, from a
few Mbps to over Gbps.

This patch implements an Airtime-based Queue Limit (AQL) to make CoDel work
effectively with wireless drivers that utilized firmware/hardware
offloading. AQL allows each txq to release just enough packets to the lower
layer to form 1-2 large aggregations to keep hardware fully utilized and
retains the rest of the frames in mac80211 layer to be controlled by the
CoDel algorithm.

Subject: Re: [PATCH v8 0/2] Implement Airtime-based Queue Limit (AQL)

I have tested it with Toke's patch "[PATCH v6 4/4] mac80211: Use
Airtime-based Queue Limits (AQL) on packet dequeue", but didn't
include it here, as it is self contained and Toke has plan to update
it.

The platform (QCA9984) used in my test doesn't support 802.11ax, so I
was not able to test the HE mode support added in v7 update of "Import
airtime calculation code from mt76" from Toke.

I do keep hoping for pretty pictures. Got any? :-P

Is there an ax QCAXXXX platform, m.2 card, or mini-pci card worth
testing at this point?

How are they handling mu-mimo?

I have a round of tests scheduled for intel's ax200 chips, soon. Not sure
what, if any, of this new work might apply.

This is still racy, since you're splitting it over two calls; you'll
need to use atomic_sub_return() instead.

I figure we've converged now to the point where it actually makes sense
to collect everything back into a single series; so I can just fix this
and re-send the full series.

This could still fail if there's a concurrent modification (and you're
not checking the return of the cmpxchg). But at least it won't clobber
any updated value, so I guess that is acceptable since we're in "should
never happen" territory here :)

Thanks for help fixing this. Yes, atomic_sub_return() is better.

I did this on purpose since I really don't like adding a loop to retry
here. If aql_tx_pending indeed goes negative (should never happens and
we got WARN_ONCE() to catch it) and the subsequent atomic_cmpxchg()
failed (rare racing occasions), it is still ok. In this case,
aql_tx_pending carries a negative offset and will be reset in one of
the calls to ieee80211_sta_update_pending_airtime() later.
aql_tx_pending being negative doesn't have much side-effects, such as
causing txq stuck.
