There was no such capability advertisement from the driver and thus the current user space has to assume the driver to support all the AKMs. While that may be the case with some drivers (e.g., mac80211-based ones), there are cfg80211-based drivers that implement SME and have constraints on which AKMs can be supported (e.g., such drivers may need an update to support SAE AKM using NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH). Allow such drivers to advertise the exact set of supported AKMs so that user space tools can determine what network profile options should be allowed to be configured.

Currently Self Managed WIPHY's are not notified on any hints other than user cell base station hints. Self Managed wiphy's basically rely on hints from firmware and its local regdb for regulatory management, so hints from wireless core can be ignored. But all user hints needs to be notified to them to provide flexibility to these drivers to honour or ignore these user hints. Currently none of the drivers supporting self managed wiphy register a notifier with cfg80211. Hence this change does not affect any other driver behavior.

Allow user to override STBC configuration for Rx and Tx spatial streams. In practice RX/TX STBC settings can be modified using appropriate options in wpa_supplicant configuration file: tx_stbc=-1..1 rx_stbc=-1..3 This functionality has been added to wpa_supplicant in commit cdeea70f59d0. In FullMAC case these STBC options are passed to drivers by cfg80211 connect callback in fields of cfg80211_connect_params structure. However for mac80211 drivers, e.g. for mac80211_hwsim, overrides for STBC settings are ignored. The reason why RX/TX STBC capabilities are not modified for mac80211 drivers is as follows. All drivers need to specify supported HT/VHT overrides explicitly: see ht_capa_mod_mask and vht_capa_mod_mask fields of wiphy structure. Only supported overrides will be passed to drivers by cfg80211_connect and cfg80211_mlme_assoc operations: see bitwise 'AND' performed by cfg80211_oper_and_ht_capa and cfg80211_oper_and_vht_capa. This commit adds RX/TX STBC HT capabilities to mac80211_ht_capa_mod_mask, allowing their modifications, as well as applies requested STBC modifications in function ieee80211_apply_htcap_overrides.

This adds airtime accounting and scheduling to the mac80211 TXQ scheduler. A new callback, ieee80211_sta_register_airtime(), is added that drivers can call to report airtime usage for stations. When airtime information is present, mac80211 will schedule TXQs (through ieee80211_next_txq()) in a way that enforces airtime fairness between active stations. This scheduling works the same way as the ath9k in-driver airtime fairness scheduling. If no airtime usage is reported by the driver, the scheduler will default to round-robin scheduling. For drivers that don't control TXQ scheduling in software, a new API function, ieee80211_txq_may_transmit(), is added which the driver can use to check if the TXQ is eligible for transmission, or should be throttled to enforce fairness. Calls to this function must also be enclosed in ieee80211_txq_schedule_{start,end}() calls to ensure proper locking. The API ieee80211_txq_may_transmit() also ensures that TXQ list will be aligned aginst driver's own round-robin scheduler list. i.e it rotates the TXQ list till it makes the requested node becomes the first entry in TXQ list. Thus both the TXQ list and driver's list are in sync.

This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs. The interface between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling is changed by adding two new functions: ieee80211_next_txq(), which will return the next TXQ to schedule in the current round-robin rotation, and ieee80211_return_txq(), which the driver uses to indicate that it has finished scheduling a TXQ (which will then be put back in the scheduling rotation if it isn't empty). The driver must call ieee80211_txq_schedule_start() at the start of each scheduling session, and ieee80211_txq_schedule_end() at the end. The API then guarantees that the same TXQ is not returned twice in the same session (so a driver can loop on ieee80211_next_txq() without worrying about breaking the loop. Usage of the new API is optional, so drivers can be ported one at a time. In this patch, the actual scheduling performed by mac80211 is simple round-robin, but a subsequent commit adds airtime fairness awareness to the scheduler.

Ethtool -L option with the combined parameter is for changing the number of multi-purpose channels of the specified network device. Under the current scheme, the user configuration information will be lost after the reset or TC information changed. This patch fixes this issue. By default, this configuration is set to the minimum between the number of queues for each enabled TCs and the maximum number support available in the hardware. When there is a user configuration, regardless of the reset or TC information change, it should keep the user's configuration while it is under the hardware limits, otherwise set to the maximum number support available in the hardware.

Eran Ben Elisha says: ==================== Devlink health reporting and recovery system The health mechanism is targeted for Real Time Alerting, in order to know when something bad had happened to a PCI device - Provide alert debug information - Self healing - If problem needs vendor support, provide a way to gather all needed debugging information. The main idea is to unify and centralize driver health reports in the generic devlink instance and allow the user to set different attributes of the health reporting and recovery procedures. The devlink health reporter: Device driver creates a "health reporter" per each error/health type. Error/Health type can be a known/generic (eg pci error, fw error, rx/tx error) or unknown (driver specific). For each registered health reporter a driver can issue error/health reports asynchronously. All health reports handling is done by devlink. Device driver can provide specific callbacks for each "health reporter", e.g. - Recovery procedures - Diagnostics and object dump procedures - OOB initial attributes Different parts of the driver can register different types of health reporters with different handlers. Once an error is reported, devlink health will do the following actions: * A log is being send to the kernel trace events buffer * Health status and statistics are being updated for the reporter instance * Object dump is being taken and saved at the reporter instance (as long as there is no other dump which is already stored) * Auto recovery attempt is being done. Depends on: - Auto-recovery configuration - Grace period vs. time passed since last recover The user interface: User can access/change each reporter attributes and driver specific callbacks via devlink, e.g per error type (per health reporter) - Configure reporter's generic attributes (like: Disable/enable auto recovery) - Invoke recovery procedure - Run diagnostics - Object dump The devlink health interface (via netlink): DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_GET Retrieves status and configuration info per DEV and reporter. DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_SET Allows reporter-related configuration setting. DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_RECOVER Triggers a reporter's recovery procedure. DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_DIAGNOSE Retrieves diagnostics data from a reporter on a device. DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_DUMP_GET Retrieves the last stored dump. Devlink health saves a single dump. If an dump is not already stored by the devlink for this reporter, devlink generates a new dump. dump output is defined by the reporter. DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_DUMP_CLEAR Clears the last saved dump file for the specified reporter. netlink +--------------------------+ | | | + | | | | +--------------------------+ |request for ops |(diagnose, mlx5_core devlink |recover, |dump) +--------+ +--------------------------+ | | | reporter| | | | | +---------v----------+ | | | ops execution | | | | | <----------------------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | + ^------------------+ | | | | | request for ops | | | | | (recover, dump) | | | | | | | | | +-+------------------+ | | | health report | | health handler | | | +-------------------------------> | | | | | +--------------------+ | | | health reporter create | | | +----------------------------> | +--------+ +--------------------------+ In this patchset, mlx5e TX reporter is implemented. v2: - Remove FW* reporters to decrease the amount of patches in the patchset ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

With this patch, ndo_tx_timeout callback will be redirected to the TX reporter in order to detect a TX timeout error and report it to the devlink health. (The watchdog detects TX timeouts, but the driver verify the issue still exists before launching any recover method). In addition, recover from TX timeout in case of lost interrupt was added to the TX reporter recover method. The TX timeout recover from lost interrupt is not a new feature in the driver, this patch re-organize the functionality and move it to the TX reporter recovery flow.

Add mlx5e tx reporter to devlink health reporters. This reporter will be responsible for diagnosing, reporting and recovering of TX errors. This patch declares the TX reporter operations and allocate it using the devlink health API. Currently, this reporter supports reporting and recovering from send error CQE only. In addition, it adds diagnose information for the open SQs. For a local SQ recover (due to driver error report), in case of SQ recover failure, the recover operation will be considered as a failure. For a full TX recover, an attempt to close and open the channels will be done. If this one passed successfully, it will be considered as a successful recover. The SQ recover from error CQE flow is not a new feature in the driver, this patch re-organize the functions and adapt them for the devlink health API. For this purpose, move code from en_main.c to a new file named reporter_tx.c.

Devlink health buffer is a mechanism to pass descriptors between drivers and devlink. The API allows the driver to add objects, object pair, value array (nested attributes), value and name. Driver can use this API to fill the buffers in a format which can be translated by the devlink to the netlink message. In order to fulfill it, an internal buffer descriptor is defined. This will hold the data and metadata per each attribute and by used to pass actual commands to the netlink. This mechanism will be later used in devlink health for dump and diagnose data store by the drivers.
