Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mac80211: rework the airtime fairness implementation
Date:   Fri,  3 Jun 2022 18:43:07 +0200

The current ATF implementation has a number of issues which have shown up
during testing. Since it does not take into account the AQL budget of
pending packets, the implementation might queue up large amounts of packets
for a single txq until airtime gets reported after tx completion.
The same then happens to the next txq afterwards. While the end result could
still be considered fair, the bursty behavior introduces a large amount of
latency.
The current code also tries to avoid frequent re-sorting of txq entries in
order to avoid having to re-balance the rbtree often.

In order to fix these issues, introduce skip lists as a data structure, which
offer similar lookup/insert/delete times as rbtree, but avoids the need for
rebalacing by being probabilistic.
Use this to keep tx entries sorted by virtual time + pending AQL budget and
re-sort after each ieee80211_return_txq call.

Since multiple txqs share a single air_time struct with a virtual time value,
switch the active_txqs list to queue up air_time structs instead of queues.
This helps avoid imbalance between shared txqs by servicing them round robin.

ieee80211_next_txq now only dequeues the first element of active_txqs. To
make that work for non-AQL or non-ATF drivers as well, add estimated tx
airtime directly to air_info virtual time if either AQL or ATF is not
supported.

+ * A skip list is a probabilistic alternative to balanced trees. Unlike the
+ * red-black tree, it does not require rebalancing.
+ *
+ * This implementation uses only unidirectional next pointers and is optimized
+ * for use in a priority queue where elements are mostly deleted from the front
+ * of the queue.
+ *
+ * When storing up to 2^n elements in a n-level skiplist. lookup and deletion
+ * for the first element happens in O(1) time, other than that, insertion and
+ * deletion takes O(log n) time, assuming that the number of elements for an
+ * n-level list does not exceed 2^n.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ * DECLARE_SKIPLIST_TYPE(foo, 5) will define the data types for a 5-level list:
+ * struct foo_list: the list data type
+ * struct foo_node: the node data for an element in the list
+ *
+ * DECLARE_SKIPLIST_IMPL(foo, foo_cmp_fn)
+ *
+ * Adds the skip list implementation. It depends on a provided function:
+ * int foo_cmp_fn(struct foo_list *list, struct foo_node *n1, struct foo_node *n2)
+ * This compares two elements given by their node pointers, returning values <0
+ * if n1 is less than n2, =0 and >0 for equal or bigger than respectively.
+ *
+ * This macro implements the following functions:
+ *
+ * void foo_list_init(struct foo_list *list)
+ *	initializes the skip list
+ *
+ * void foo_node_init(struct foo_node *node)
+ *	initializes a node. must be called before adding the node to the list
+ *
+ * struct foo_node *foo_node_next(struct foo_node *node)
+ *	gets the node directly after the provided node, or NULL if it was the last
+ *	element in the list.
+ *
+ * bool foo_is_queued(struct foo_node *node)
+ *	returns true if the node is on a list
+ *
+ * struct foo_node *foo_dequeue(struct foo_list *list)
+ *	deletes and returns the first element of the list (or returns NULL if empty)
+ *
+ * struct foo_node *foo_peek(struct foo_list *list)
+ *	returns the first element of the list
+ *
+ * void foo_insert(struct foo_list *list, struct foo_node *node)
+ *	inserts the node into the list. the node must be initialized and not on a
+ *	list already.
+ *
+ * void foo_delete(struct foo_list *list, struct foo_node *node)
+ *	deletes the node from the list, or does nothing if it's not on the list
