From: Sebastian Gottschall <s.gottschall@dd-wrt.com>

current handling of peer_bw_rxnss_override parameter is based on guessing the VHT160/8080 capability by rx rate. this is wrong and may lead
to a non initialized peer_bw_rxnss_override parameter which is required since VHT160 operation mode only supports 2x2 chainmasks in addition the original code
initialized the parameter with wrong masked values.
This patch uses the peer phymode and peer nss information for correct initialisation of the peer_bw_rxnss_override parameter.
if this peer information is not available, we initialize the parameter by minimum nss which is suggested by QCA as temporary workaround according
to the QCA sourcecodes.

Signed-off-by: Sebastian Gottschall <s.gottschall@dd-wrt.com>

v2: remove debug messages
v3: apply some cosmetics, update documentation
v4: fix compile warning and truncate nss to maximum of 2x2 since current chipsets only support 2x2 at vht160

Check for the 80+80 or 160 instead of num-spatial-streams, if if something has
nss == 0, then act like it is 1 instead since it is obviously configured incorrect.

> +		int nss160 = arg->peer_num_spatial_streams;

I think this line should be:
		int nss160 = arg->peer_num_spatial_streams / 2;

                 if (nss160 == 0) { nss160 = 1; } /* deal with mis-configured nss */

If you have a 4019 client, it will have arg->peer_num_spatial_streams == 2, but
it can only do 1x1 at 160Mhz.

 From looking at firmware, it will just ignore the bits it does not need, so you do not need
to special case adding the 80_80 fields, you can do more like my patch and just always add
those bits.

Init nss160 outside of the if loop to 1 and you don't need this logic either.  If something can do 160Mhz,
then we must assume it can do at least 1x1 tx/rx.

this check is bellow. see the switch statement for the VHT160, 80_80 case.
if nss 0, it must fail here since we cannot handle nss = 0, in that case 
just bit 31 is masked

no. makes no sense. 2 would get 1 and 1 turns to zero. makes no sense
read the macro BW_NSS_FWCONF_160 first. it already does nss160-1
this would lead to -1 if spatial_streams is 1


>

no
if peer_num_spatial_stream is 0 (so nss160 too), the code is not 
triggered. but another code. same as above

if (!arg->peer_num_spatial_streams && (arg->peer_phymode == 
MODE_11AC_VHT80_80 || arg->peer_phymode == MODE_11AC_VHT160)) {
        arg->peer_bw_rxnss_override = BW_NSS_FWCONF_MAP_ENABLE;
  }

peer_num_spatial_streams is calculated from mcs rate set. so why should 
4019 announce 2x2 if it just can to 1x1.
have you checked the mcs set at assoc management frame?

i'm following the reference code. in case 80_80 only is configure vht160 
nd 80_80 must be masked. for everything else vht160 only must be masked.
thats the meaning. there are 2 override masks. independend for vht160 
and 80_80. for sure i can do always both, but the reference code does not
and who knows what else changed in the firmware. consider that the crash 
bug first occured on 3.5.3. your CT codebase is older as far as i know

for sure i can mask it always to bit 31 if vht80_80 and/or vht160 is

Well, nss160 should be the number of streams we can use at 160 Mhz.  The macro
can convert to zero-based api that the firmware wants.  A 9984 will have nss == 4,
but you want nss160 to be 2.  A 4019 will have nss == 2, but nss160 should be 1.

If NSS was 1, and you do 1/2, you get zero.

You are confused about nss vs the 160nss.  They are different.  I do not know how to explain
this better.  Dig through the firmware source and look at how they are used.  Basically, if
rate-ctrl decides 80Mhz is best, it can send at the normal 80Mhz NSS (so, 4 for 9984, 2 for 4019),
but if rate-ctrl uses 160, it uses the different nss max (2 for 9984, one for 4019).

I looked at both my code and the most recent QCA FW code.  You can leave the exra
complexity in the code if you wish, it at least does not break anything.

Thanks,

Sebastian Gottschall April 29, 2018, 7:43 p.m. UTC | #4
btw 4019 doesnt support vht160 in ath10k see vht160_mcs_rx_highest in 
core params
if it does support vht160, ath10k must be adjusted here
