Subject: [PATCHv4 0/2] cfg80211: mac80211: BTCOEX feature support

From: Tamizh chelvam <[email protected]>

This patchset add support for BTCOEX feature to enable/disable and
modifying btcoex priority value via nl80211

Tamizh chelvam (2):
cfg80211: Add support to enable or disable btcoex and set
btcoex_priority
mac80211: Add support to enable or disable btcoex and set btcoex
priority value

v4 :
* Moved btcoex_priority_support_flag enum to nl80211.h and renamed it.
* fixed typo.

v3 :
* Introduced NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_BTCOEX_PRIORITY to expose
btcoex priority support and removed bool variable.

v2 :
* Introduced NL80211_CMD_SET_BTCOEX to enable/disable btcoex and
to set/modify btcoex_priority.
* Added bool variable in wiphy structure to advertise btcoex_priority
feature and removed BITMAP calculation for btcoex_priority value.

That ("firmware internally..." etc.) really sounds more like an
argument *not* to apply this patch ...

Everyone has their favourite BT coex control. We could possibly
implement this in our driver, but I'm not sure we'd *want* to, since
it's so far from what we actually do today.

Do we really need more than toggling it on/off?

Actually, I probably should've asked this much earlier - but what use
cases do you see for this? What can a user, or userspace application
like NM, really try to set here? It seems the use cases for this would
be rather constrained?

So you make a distinction between WMM ACs, but what about the different
types/profiles of BT traffic?

Subject: [PATCHv4 1/2] cfg80211: Add support to enable or disable btcoex and set btcoex_priority

From: Tamizh chelvam <[email protected]>

This patch introduces NL80211_CMD_SET_BTCOEX command and
NL80211_ATTR_BTCOEX_OP attribute to enable or disable btcoex.
And this change enables user to set btcoex priority by using
NL80211_ATTR_BTCOEX_PRIORITY attribute for the driver which
has the btcoex priority capability. Driver should expose such
capability and make use of this priority to decide whom to share the radio
(either bluetooth or WLAN). When the high priority wlan frames are queued
driver or firmware will signal to block BT activity.
Capable drivers should advertise this support by setting
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_BTCOEX_PRIORITY nl80211 extended feature.

[Tamizh] There will be BT high and BT low traffic. It will be decided by BT=
module. Firmware internally checks BT low traffic with wlan traffic. If we=
enable some of
wlan frames as high priority, those frames will have more priority than BT =
low traffic.

Hi,

Sorry for the long delay.

You should drop the _SUPPORTS part from these names, it's not just for
that now.

There's an extra blank line here.

I'd prefer to formulate this as

NL80211_BTCOEX_PREF_MASK = (NL80211_BTCOEX_SUPPORTS_BE_PREF |
...)

and then later use

if (value & ~NL80211_BTCOEX_PREF_MASK)
return -EINVAL;

The way it is now isn't really all that obvious IMHO.

No need to initialize those values.

Don't really need those extra parentheses.

Ok, actually, here you do need to initialize val but it makes no sense
- why is this even a U8 attribute rather than a FLAG?

So there are two ways you can play this:

1) either you make it a U8 attribute as you have, and allow *not
changing* it, by making val default to -1 and documenting in the
cfg80211 API that -1 means no changes. This would allow userspace to
set the BT coex priority parameters without changing whether or not BT
coex is turned on or off entirely, but the drivers would have to be
storing the priority values all the time etc. This seems somewhat error
prone.

- or -

2) You simply disallow changing the BT coex priority parameters by
themselves, i.e. allow only setting those if the FLAG attribute for
enabling BT coex is also present. IMHO this is less error prone.

The way it is now makes no sense - you could set the BT coex parameters
and leave out the BTCOEX_OP attribute entirely, but then if you leave
it out that would mean it actually gets disabled and the new priority
values don't take any effect.

I strongly suggest you go for option 2) unless you can provide a really
good reason for option 1). If you do go for 2) you should rename the
BTCOEX_OP to BTCOEX_ENABLE and make it a flag.

-EINVAL, even if that's not nice, but E2BIG means "argument list too
long" which really isn't the right thing here.
