[PATCH v2] ath10k: handle cycle count wrap around

[PATCH v2] ath10k: handle cycle count wrap around

[Srinivasa Duvvuri]

This patch addresses
 couple of issues related to survey data that results   in a random/large
 values in the out put of iw dev wlan0 surevey dump.

  These are the 2 changes that address the issue.

  1) Handle Cycle count wrap around.
     When the cycle counts part of wmi_ch_info_ev_arg reach max value of
     0xffffffff. The HW/FW right shifts all the counteirs by 1 . The cycle
     count will be reset to 0x7fffffff and starts counting from 0x7fffffff and
     the other counters will have their value right shifted by 1 (divided by 2).
     There is no way to handle this odd wrap around. Detect and ignore the wrap
     around case.

  2) Handle Back to back channel info events from FW with
     WMI_CHAN_INFO_FLAG_COMPLETE.
     Between 2 scans FW sends back to back events with
     WMI_CHAN_INFO_FLAG_COMPLETE flag set. One at the end of first scan
     and the second at the beginning of scan. Depending on the time
     between 2 scans , the cycle counts could have wrapped around several
     timesi. Fix is detect and to ignore such events.

This is incorrect. This *can* be handled.

Also this problem is relevant for qca988x only. qca61x4 doesn't have
this weird wraparound. ath10k needs to support both of these properly.

I don't think it's actually necessary to ignore this. This can be
handled on a best-effort basis and still provide some reasonable data
to the user.

Also a patch should never change more than 1 thing. Your patch tries
to fix 2 problems at once.

I can pick this up and continue with a v3 later on if you don't mind.

[PATCH v3 1/2] ath10k: handle cycle counter wraparound

[Michal Kazior]

When QCA988X cycle counter HW register wraps
around it resets to 0x7fffffff instead of 0. All
other cycle counter related registers are divided
by 2 so they never wraparound themselves. QCA61X4
has a uniform CC and it wraparounds in a regular
fashion though.

Worst case wraparound time is approx 24 seconds
(2**31 / 88MHz). Since scan channel visit times
are max 5 seconds (offchannel case) it is
guaranteed there's been at most 1 wraparound and
it is possible to compute survey data.

This fixes some occasional incorrect survey data
on QCA988X as some channels (depending on how/when
scan/offchannel requests were requested) would
have approx 24 sec active time which wasn't
actually the case.

This should help make hostapd ACS more reliable.

[PATCH v3 2/2] ath10k: fix inconsistent survey reports

[Michal Kazior]

In some cases some channel survey data was
reported incorrect.

Channel info events were expected to come in pairs
without and with COMPLETE flag set respectively
for each channel visit during scan.

However there are deviations from this rule:

 * last scan chan info and first (next) scan chan
   info both have COMPLETE flag set. This was
   either programmed with the intent of providing BSS
   cycle count info or this is an artefact of
   firmware scan state machine. Either way this is
   useless due to short wraparound time and no
   overflow counters,

 * some channels are completed twice, e.g. I've
   seen chan info for freq 2462 come twice many
   times during scan. This may be some artefact of
   firmware scan state machine, e.g. during band
   switching.

Data provided in either of the above is now
ignored and not reported to avoid confusing the
user.

Survey dumps now include only data gathered during
scan channel visits that can be computed
correctly.

This should help make hostapd ACS more reliable.

[PATCH v3 2/2] ath10k: fix inconsistent survey reports

[Michal Kazior]

In some cases some channel survey data was
reported incorrect.

Channel info events were expected to come in pairs
without and with COMPLETE flag set respectively
for each channel visit during scan.

However there are deviations from this rule:

 * last scan chan info and first (next) scan chan
   info both have COMPLETE flag set. This was
   either programmed with the intent of providing BSS
   cycle count info or this is an artefact of
   firmware scan state machine. Either way this is
   useless due to short wraparound time and no
   overflow counters,

 * some channels are completed twice, e.g. I've
   seen chan info for freq 2462 come twice many
   times during scan. This may be some artefact of
   firmware scan state machine, e.g. during band
   switching.

Data provided in either of the above is now
ignored and not reported to avoid confusing the
user.

Survey dumps now include only data gathered during
scan channel visits that can be computed
correctly.

This should help make hostapd ACS more reliable.

Why do you have this function in core.c? Why not in wmi.c?

I don't consider this a part of WMI protocol per se. It's a logic
which happens to be used with values delivered via WMI but is chip
specific otherwise. For what it's worth we could be reading CC
registers, e.g. directly via MMIO.

Now that I think about it this would fit into hw.c as well.

Yeah, hw.c would be much better. And we could start adding more similar
hw adaptation code there in the future.

Ah, you're right. I guess I'll need to discard the data like you
originally did upon wraparound detection.

Ah, you're right. I guess I'll need to discard the data like you
originally did upon wraparound detection.

[PATCH v4 1/3] ath10k: move cycle_count macro

[Michal Kazior]

The macro isn't WMI specific. Instead it is
related to hardware chip so move the macro
accordingly. While at it document the magic value.

[PATCH v4 2/3] ath10k: handle cycle counter wraparound

[Michal Kazior]

When QCA988X cycle counter HW register wraps
around it resets to 0x7fffffff instead of 0. All
other cycle counter related registers are divided
by 2 so they never wraparound themselves. QCA61X4
has a uniform CC and it wraparounds in a regular
fashion though.

Worst case wraparound time is approx 24 seconds
(2**31 / 88MHz). Since scan channel visit times
are max 5 seconds (offchannel case) it is
guaranteed there's been at most 1 wraparound and
it is possible to compute survey active time
value. It is, however, impossible to determine the
point at which Rx Clear Count has been divided by
two so it is not reported upon wraparound.

This fixes some occasional incorrect survey data
on QCA988X as some channels (depending on how/when
scan/offchannel requests were requested) would
have approx 24 sec active time which wasn't
actually the case.

This should improve hostapd ACS a little bit.

[PATCH v4 3/3] ath10k: fix inconsistent survey reports

[Michal Kazior]

In some cases some channel survey data was
reported incorrect.

Channel info events were expected to come in pairs
without and with COMPLETE flag set respectively
for each channel visit during scan.

The known deviation from this is rule for last
scan chan info and first (next) scan chan info
both have COMPLETE flag set. This was either
programmed with the intent of providing BSS cycle
count info or this is an artefact of firmware scan
state machine. Either way this is useless due to
short wraparound time, wraparound quirks and no
overflow notification.

Survey dumps now include only data gathered during
scan channel visits that can be computed
correctly.

This should improve hostapd ACS a little bit.

[PATCH v4 3/3] ath10k: fix inconsistent survey reports

[Michal Kazior]

In some cases some channel survey data was
reported incorrect.

Channel info events were expected to come in pairs
without and with COMPLETE flag set respectively
for each channel visit during scan.

The known deviation from this is rule for last
scan chan info and first (next) scan chan info
both have COMPLETE flag set. This was either
programmed with the intent of providing BSS cycle
count info or this is an artefact of firmware scan
state machine. Either way this is useless due to
short wraparound time, wraparound quirks and no
overflow notification.

Survey dumps now include only data gathered during
scan channel visits that can be computed
correctly.

This should improve hostapd ACS a little bit.

Notes:
    v4:
     * rebased
     * dont overwrite survey data needlessly
     * rename var
     * update commit log
    
    v3:
     * result of patch split up
     * rename the var so it matches more tightly with it's purpose
     * improve commit log
