2014-04-13iwlwifi: mvm: rs: reinit rs if no tx for a long timeEyal Shapira1-0/+1
After being idle for a long time (>5sec) the rs statistics will be stale so we prefer to reset rs and start from legacy rates again. This gives better results when the attenuation increased signficantly (e.g. we got further from the AP) and after a while we start Tx Note that the first Tx after the idle period will still go out in the old modulation and rate but this seemed a simpler approach compared to adding a timer or modifying mac80211 for this. The negative impact is negligble as we'll recover quickly.

2014-04-13iwlwifi: mvm: rs: fix and cleanup rs_get_rate_actionEyal Shapira1-0/+1
Change the down/upscale decision logic a bit to be based on different success ratio thresholds. This fixes the implementation compared to the rate scale algorithm which was planned to yield optimal results. Also fix a case where a lower rate wasn't explored despite being a potential for better throughput. While at it rewrite rs_get_rate_action to be more clear and clean.

2014-04-13iwlwifi: mvm: rs: use correct max expected throughput figuresEyal Shapira1-3/+9
The selection of the max expected throughput for a column didn't take into account the maximal allowed rate for the current peer. This can cause unnecessary switches during the search cycle to columns which have no chance of beating the current throughput.

2014-02-03iwlwifi: rs: use const u16 for throughput tablesJohannes Berg1-1/+1
This makes the code a little bit longer as zero-extension has to be done (mov vs. movzwl), but that's miniscule and the space saving is significant, about 600 bytes in DVM and 700 bytes in MVM, so the cache effect should be worth the few bytes more code. While at it, remove two spurious blank lines in variable declaration blocks.

2013-12-17iwlwifi: mvm: rs: avoid recalc of supported legacy rate maskEyal Shapira1-1/+0
The supported legacy rate mask is initialized when rs is initialized based on the remote peer supported rates. There's no need to re mask it repeatedly with the supported remote peer rates. Signed-off-by: Eyal Shapira <eyal@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>
2013-12-17iwlwifi: mvm: rs: refactor building the LQ commandEyal Shapira1-1/+0
Simplify the code a bit more by extracting the rates table building logic into a separate function and handle setting a fixed rate for debug in a separate flow. Also avoid using and saving ucode rate format in different places. Instead use rs_rate struct and convert to ucode format only when filling the rates table in the LQ command.

2013-12-09iwlwifi: mvm: rs: overhaul search cycle state machineEyal Shapira1-36/+28
Rewrite the search cycle state machine to use a more data oriented approach where the different Tx columns (configs) limitations and next columns to search are reprsented in tables which are easy to change. This overhaul also includes several major fixes: 1. Prevent going back to a specific Tx column in a search cycle if it was already explored. 2. Avoid switching to a Tx column that doesn't have any chance if it performs perfectly to beat the current throughput we're getting. These issues were degrading throughput as they were causing switching to "bad" Tx columns. Signed-off-by: Eyal Shapira <eyal@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>
2013-12-09iwlwifi: mvm: rs: refactor to use rs_rateEyal Shapira1-20/+40
Introduce rs_rate which represents a rate. Use this structure instead of iwl_scale_tbl_info where we're dealing with a single rate. This avoids allocating the big iwl_scale_tbl_info structure on the stack in several cases like converting to ucode rate format or from ucode rate format.

Switch to using the new btcoex decision api regarding MIMO and stop accessing the internal btcoex structs. In case MIMO should be disabled it would detect this upon the next Tx and force a search.

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.
