757cf23b4b iwlwifi: mvm: add per rate tx stats
Collect accumulated stats of tx attempts and successes
per rate and column for debugging purposes.
These stats can be read via debugfs file drv_tx_stats
and can also be reset by writing to this file.

c531c77150 iwlwifi: mvm: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)
rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure is
carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. However, in the
case that NULL is assigned there's no structure to initialize so using
RCU_INIT_POINTER instead is safe and more efficient.

7b445f3501 iwlwifi: mvm: dump Rx FIFO when the firmware asserts
The Rx FIFO includes valuable data - dump it when the FW
asserts. Also - free the SRAM and Rx FIFO when we create
the file, and don't collect new SRAM / Rx FIFO if the
previous file hasn't been collected through debugfs yet.

Also - add a comment to saying that the ASSERT output should
not be modified since we have automatic scripts that monitor
this output.

d13c8dca67 iwlwifi: mvm: don't set AP STA to EINVAL
Now that mac80211 calls pre_rcu_remove and we set the
fw_id_to_mac_id pointer to -ENOENT before the station is
removed, we don't need to set fw_id_to_mac_id to -EINVAL
when the station is really removed.
Leave fw_id_to_mac_id to be -ENOENT which will let the
drain worker (iwl_mvm_sta_drained_wk) know that this station
is not to be drained.
We don't need to drain this station since it is our AP in
managed mode and we flush all its frames synchronously
anyway.

Setting the AP station to -EINVAL could lead to confusion
since internal stations are also reserved with -EINVAL,
this confusion showed up in the logs as:

Drained sta 0, but it is internal?

5d63f926d1 iwlwifi: pcie: clarify RX queue need_update handling and locking
When shadow registers are enabled, then need_update never needs
to be set, so move the need_update handling into the function
that really needs to do it (iwl_pcie_rxq_inc_wr_ptr) and also
separate the check when it woke up. While at it, convert it to
bool.

This also clarifies the locking and means the irq_lock needs to
no longer be held for any such updates.

The irq_lock also doesn't have to be held for restocking since
everything else locks the RX queue properly, so remove that and
finally disentangle the two locks entirely so there aren't any
dependencies between the two left.

f14d6b39c0 iwlwifi: pcie: implement GRO without NAPI
Use the new NAPI infrastructure added to mac80211 to get
GRO. We don't really implement NAPI since we don't have
a real poll function and we never schedule a NAPI poll.
Instead of this, we collect all the packets we got from a
single interrupt and then call napi_gro_flush().

This allows us to benefit from GRO. In half duplex medium
like WiFi, its main advantage is that it reduces the number
of TCP Acks, hence improving the TCP Rx performance.

Since we call the Rx path with a spinlock held, remove
the might_sleep mention from the op_mode's API.

0229cdafb6 iwlwifi: mvm: delay enabling smart FIFO until after beacon RX
If we have no beacon data before association, delay smart FIFO
enablement until after we have this data.

Not doing so can cause association failures in extremely silent
environments (usually only a shielded box/room) as beacon RX is
not sent to the host immediately, and then the association time
event ends without the host receiving any beacon even though it
was on the air - it's just stuck on the FIFO.

d650097bfa ath10k: refactor radar detection code
If 20MHz CAC completed successfully then
subsequent CAC with wider bandwidth (40Mhz, 80Mhz)
with identical control frequency did not start
monitor vdev making it impossible to detect any
radar pulses during intended CAC.

It also was incorrect to assume ath10k_config() will
be called after CAC is finished. Theoretically for
non-HT channels nothing changes between CAC and
start_ap() (albeit in practice this can be
different). The incorrect assumption led to CAC
not being stopped on non-HT chandefs leading to
all Rx being drooped making it impossible for
clients to associate.

While at it clean up the code a bit.

1bbc09752d ath10k: refactor monitor code
It was possible to create/delete/start/stop
monitor vdev from a few places that were not
exclusively protected against each other. This
resulted in monitor vdev being stopped/removed by
one call origin while another one was expecting it
to continue running.

For example if CAC was started and interface's
promiscuous mode was toggled monitor vdev was
removed from the driver meaning no radar would be
detected. In additional a warning would be printed
upon CAC completion complaining it tried to stop
non-running monitor vdev.

The patch simplifies monitor code by removing
IEEE80211_HW_WANT_MONITOR_VIF (which wasn't really
ever needed) and improves state tracking. It also
unifies prints.

e7f7634092 iwlwifi: pcie: don't leave the new NICs awake for commands
A hardware bug had been discovered on 7260 / 3160 and 7265
and the workaround for this bug is to force the NIC to stay
awake as long as we have host commands in flight. This
workaround has been introduced for all NICs in a previous
patch:

b943949105 ("iwlwifi: pcie: keep the NIC awake when commands are in flight")

In newer NICs, this bug is solved, so we can let the NIC go
to sleep even when we send commands. The hardware will wake
up when we increment the scheduler write pointer.
Make the workaround conditional to only use it on affected
hardware.

198890258f iwlwifi: mvm: Handle power management constraints for additional use-cases
Today, the driver logic looks for the conditions to disable
power management albeit power management should be enabled
in a very few distinct cases.
This patch changes the driver logic to enable power
management once the required conditions met.
While at it, make some housekeeping and support a few
additional use cases:

a) Add support for a standalone p2p client:
   Power management should be enabled for a P2P client
   MAC only if the firmware supports it (TLV flag is set).
   Instead we used the DCM flag, therefore we didn't cover
   use cases that did not include the DCM flag.

b) Add support to Same-Channel-Mode (SCM):
   If both clients share the same channel (SCM), and there
   are no other active vifs in the system, power management
   should be enabled only if the firmware supports this
   (TLV flag is set).

c) Fix power management logic for GO/AP:
   Today, when we detect an active GO / AP MAC - we disable
   power management for all the vifs altogether.
   Actually, the correct behavior is to enable power
   management on a client if on a different channel
   (based on the firmware capabilities).

d) Housekeeping - Along with that, this patch includes some
   code-reorganizing: Today the logic of disabling power is
   scattered across several functions, specifically in the
   iterator. For the sake of both readability and
   scalability, we moved this logic to its applicable
   function, leaving the iterator gather information only.
   Furthermore, as power management is a MAC-related
   attribute, we moved the power management member to the
   iwl_mvm_vif structure.

a31267c308 rtl8187: fix use after free on failure path in rtl8187_probe()
If allocation of io_dmabuf fails, rtl8187_probe() calls usb_put_dev(udev)
while usb_get_dev(udev) is not called yet. As a result refcnt is decremented
incorrectly and usb_dev can be used after memory deallocation.

6cea5f2173 rtl8180: don't use weird trick to access "far" registers
In rtl8180/rtl8185/rtl8187se the register space is represented
using packed structure type. Register are thus accessed using a
pointer of this type.
All registers are packed toghether, and only small gaps are present.

However Rtl8187se has also some "sparse" registers, very far from
the "main register block".

It could be possible to access them by simply declare huge reserved
blocks inside the register struct (and this causes NO memory waste).
However, for various reasons, access to those "far" registers is
done with special dedicated macros, without declaring them in the
register struct.

This is done in an intricate manner, that makes code less readable
and caused static analisys tool to produce warnings.

This patch keeps the "macro" mechanism, but it changes its
implementation in a simplier and more straightforward way.
