[PATCH 2/4] mac80211: Support getting sta_info stats via ethtool.

[greearb]

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

This lets ethtool print out stats related to station
interfaces.  Does not yet get stats from the underlying
driver.

[PATCH 4/4] ath9k: Support ethtool getstats api.

[greearb]

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

This returns many of the values that formerly could
only be obtained from debugfs.  This should be an
improvement when trying to access these counters
programatically.  Currently this support is only
enabled when DEBUGFS is enabled because otherwise
these stats are not accumulated.

I don't really like the idea just throwing every random counter into
ethtool. Many of these counters are actually quite misleading, not
properly tracked, or not even updated properly, and thus do not deserve
to be made visible through ethtool.

I think before something gets exported that way, it should be made clear
what it's for and what the limitations are.

My personal goal is to give my users a better insight into their
wireless environment.  I would like to be able to break out the
various low-level errors (as well as add them together to present
summary errors).

For anyone reporting mysterious bugs on mailing lists and such, I'd like
to ask them to dump the stats and send it to me/list/whatever.
I am still of the mind that looking for patterns in various
counters might point to underlying problems, so anything that
makes it easier to get that data is a win in my mind.

If there are some stats that really don't work, maybe I
will notice, or maybe someone else will and we can fix
them.  If you are aware of any specific ones that don't
work right, please let me know and I'll at least add some
comments to the code to mention they are questionable,
or fix them if I'm able.

Thanks,
Ben

That's what debugfs is for, and it's not exactly hard to use.
I think it would be bad if tools started depending on the counters in
their current state, they're pretty messy.

There's lots of confusion in the AMPDU/Aggregates counters (some count
whole A-MPDUs, some count subframes).
Also, many of these counters are useless unless you're doing live
debugging and actually know what you're doing - especially the ones that
display the current queue state.
Most of the PHY error counters aren't even tracked by the hw, nothing in
the driver enables their use.

For some of these counters it might make sense to track them in
mac80211, as they're sufficiently generic.

If you really want to export more stats, please put some thought into
what actually makes sense for exporting, rather than carpet-bombing the
stats with every random debugfs counter crap you can find.

With a bit of work, we could make the ethtool stats
available when debugfs is compiled out, which might give
you actual space savings and still allow at least much of
the stats.  Either way, the ability to programatically
parse the ethtool stats is a big win for my use, at least.

That sounds fixable, if it's a problem at all.

I tried to skip all of those current-queue-state counters, but I
will double-check.

Well, any reason we cannot enable those?

That sounds nice.  Maybe add a 'get_stats' object to the driver
api?  If you have a list of what you want to be made
generic I'll make a try at implementing it.

I'm OK with exporting some stats in a way that can be easily parsed, but
it should be limited to data that actually makes sense and isn't
available through normal API.

Yeah, seems like I misread something there.

The hardware has a limited number of counter registers available for
tracking PHY errors. Enabling PHY errors to be reported via DMA wastes
tons of precious CPU cycles.

Am I correct in assuming that these are the only phy-errors that
the driver can currently report?

#define AR_PHY_ERR_DCHIRP      0x00000008
#define AR_PHY_ERR_RADAR       0x00000020
#define AR_PHY_ERR_OFDM_TIMING 0x00020000
#define AR_PHY_ERR_CCK_TIMING  0x02000000

With regard to DMA resources, do you mean that the
waste is in having the NIC receive the packets that
would otherwise be filtered?

Ben

I do not think this is particularly a good idea to make eththool report 
wireless interfaces statistics:
- these are 802.11 interfaces and so they have specific statistics to 
report which are different from pure ethernet adapters
- people will start adding more statistics to ethtool because this or 
that wifi-specific counter is not reported, it is abusing the tool imho.

The ethtool stats are designed to display custom driver stats in a somewhat standard manner.  There is no
expectation as to what stats are or should be available..some new wired Intel drivers report great numbers of
stats, and some drivers report none.

But, assuming we do not change the stat names all the time (adding new ones or re-arranging order is fine),
a tool can be written to parse the stats on a per-driver basis without much difficulty.

Ben
