Rafał Miłecki 29aab93ea2 mac80211: backport brcmfmac fixes & debugging helpers from 4.18
The most important is probably regression fix in handling platform
NVRAM. That bug stopped hardware from being properly calibrated breaking
e.g. 5 GHz for Netgear R8000.

Other than that it triggers memory dumps when experiencing firmware
problems which is important for debugging purposes.

Koen Vandeputte 27014da237 mac80211: Expose support for ath9k Dynack
Enables support for Dynack feature.

When a remote station is far away, we need to compensate for the distance
by allowing more time for an ACK to arrive back before issueing a retransmission.
Currently, it needs to be set fixed to indicate the maximum distance the remote
station will ever be.

While this mostly works for static antennae, it introduces 2 issues:
- If the actual distance is less, speed is reduced due to a lot of wates wait-time
- If the distance becomes greater, retries start to occur and comms can get lost.

Allowing to set it dynamically using dynack ensures the best possible tradeoff
between speed vs distance.

This feature is currently only supported in ath9k.
it is also disabled by default.

Enabling it can be done in 2 ways:
- issue cmd:  iw phy0 set distance auto
- sending the NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_DYN_ACK flag to mac80211 driver using netlink

Disabling it can be done by providing a valid fixed value.

To give an idea of a practical example:

In my usecase, we have mesh wifi device installed on ships/platforms.
Currently, the coverage class is set at 12000m fixed.

When a vessel moved closer (ex. 1500m), the measured link capacity was a lot
lower compared to setting the coverage class fixed to 1500m

Dynack completely solved this, nearly providing double the bandwidth at closer range
compared to the fixed setting of 12000m being used.

Also when a vessel sailed to a distance greater than the fixed setting,
communication was lost as the ACK's never arrived within the max allowed timeframe.

Actual distance: 6010m
iperf 60s run avg

Fixed 12150m:  31 Mbit/s
Dynack:        58 Mbit/s

Fixed 6300m:   51 Mbit/s
Dynack:        59 Mbit/s

Fixed 3000m:   13 Mbit/s  (lots of retries)
Dynack:        58 Mbit/s

Actual distance: 1504m
iperf 60s run avg

Fixed 12150m:  31 Mbit/s
Dynack:        86 Mbit/s

Fixed 6300m:   55 Mbit/s
Dynack:        87 Mbit/s

Fixed 3000m:   67 Mbit/s
Dynack:        87 Mbit/s

mac80211: initialize sinfo in cfg80211_get_station
Most of the implementations behind cfg80211_get_station will not initialize
sinfo to zero before manipulating it. For example, the member "filled",
which indicates the filled in parts of this struct, is often only modified
by enabling certain bits in the bitfield while keeping the remaining bits
in their original state. A caller without a preinitialized sinfo.filled can
then no longer decide which parts of sinfo were filled in by
cfg80211_get_station (or actually the underlying implementations).

cfg80211_get_station must therefore take care that sinfo is initialized to
zero. Otherwise, the caller may tries to read information which was not
filled in and which must therefore also be considered uninitialized. In
batadv_v_elp_get_throughput's case, an invalid "random" expected throughput
may be stored for this neighbor and thus the B.A.T.M.A.N V algorithm may
switch to non-optimal neighbors for certain destinations.

This patch adds the patch that was posted to ath10k-devel ML:
<https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10233491/>
|From: Thomas Hebb <tommyhebb@gmail.com>
|Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: search all IEs for variant before falling back
|Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2018 11:43:39 -0500
|[...]
|This patch fixes the issue by first searching the entire file for the ID
|with variant, and searching for the fallback ID only if that search
|fails. It also includes some code cleanup in the area, as
|ath10k_core_fetch_board_data_api_n() no longer does its own string
|mangling to remove the variant from an ID, instead leaving that job to a
|new flag passed to ath10k_core_create_board_name().
|
|I've tested this patch on a QCA4019 and verified that the driver behaves
|correctly for 1) both fallback and variant BDFs present, 2) only fallback
|BDF present, and 3) no matching BDFs present.
|
|Fixes: 1657b8f84ed9 ("ath10k: search SMBIOS for OEM board file extension")

Note: 937-ath10k-calibration-variant.patch has been reassigned a new 081
number, as it now ships with upstream.... But also because this patch
requires the change in ath10k_core_create_board_name().
