2015-09-29mac80211: minstrel[_ht]: remove non-ascii debugfs charactersJohannes Berg1-7/+5
Replace the average symbol by "avg" to avoid being warned about the non-ASCII symbol all the time, line up the columns properly. (I changed my mind - the warnings are getting annoying) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-04-01mac80211: add standard deviation to Minstrel statsThomas Huehn1-5/+9
This patch adds the statistical descriptor "standard deviation" to better describe the current properties of Minstrel and Minstrel-HTs success probability distribution. The standard deviation (SD) is calculated as exponential weighted moving standard deviation (EWMSD) and its current value is added as new column in all rc_stats (in debugfs).

2015-04-01mac80211: add max lossless throughput per rateThomas Huehn1-10/+14
This patch adds the new statistic "maximum possible lossless throughput" to Minstrels and Minstrel-HTs rc_stats (in debugfs). This enables comprehensive comparison between current per-rate throughput and max. achievable per-rate throughput.

2015-04-01mac80211: restructure per-rate throughput calculation into functionThomas Huehn1-6/+6
This patch moves Minstrels and Minstrel-HTs per-rate throughput calculation (EWMA(thr)) into a dedicated function to be called. Therefore the variable "unsigned int cur_tp" within struct "minstrel_rate_stats" becomes obsolete. and is removed to free up its space.

2015-04-01mac80211: improve Minstrel variable & function namingThomas Huehn1-18/+18
This patch ensures a consistent usage of variable names for type "minstrel_rate_stats" to be used as "mrs" and from type minstrel_rate as "mr" across both Minstrel & Minstrel-HT. In addition some variable and function names got changed to more meaningful ones.

2015-04-01mac80211: enhance readability of Minstrel-HTs rc_stats outputThomas Huehn1-15/+34
This patch restructures the rc_stats debugfs table of Minstrel-HT in order to achieve better human readability. A new layout of the statistics and a new header is added. In addition to the old layout there are two new columns of information added: idx - representing the rate index of each rate in mac80211 which can be used to set specific rates as fixed rate via debugfs airtime - the tx-time in micro seconds that a 1200 Byte packet takes to be transmitted over the air at the given rate The old layout of rc_stats: type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum) HT20/LGI MCS0 5.6 100.0 100.0 1 0( 0) 1( 1) HT20/LGI B MCS1 10.5 100.0 100.0 0 0( 0) 1( 1) HT20/LGI A MCS2 14.8 100.0 100.0 0 0( 0) 1( 1) ... is changed into this new layout: best ________rate______ __statistics__ ________last_______ ______sum-of________ mode guard # rate [name idx airtime] [ ø(tp) ø(prob)] [prob.|retry|suc|att] [#success | #attempts] HT20 LGI 1 MCS0 0 1480 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0 0 0 0 HT20 LGI 1 B MCS1 1 740 10.5 100.0 100.0 0 0 0 1 1 HT20 LGI 1 A MCS2 2 496 14.8 100.0 100.0 0 0 0 1 1 ...

2014-10-23mac80211: minstrel_ht: use group flags instead of index to display ratesKarl Beldan1-12/+16
When displaying a rate through debugfs minstrel_ht guesses its flags comparing group indexes. Since 3ec373c421b6 ("mac80211: minstrel_ht: include type (cck/ht) in rates flag"), the rate flags of interest are present in the mcs_group-s, so use it. While improving the code, this also fixes a smatch false positive "error: testing array offset 'i' after use" in minstrel_ht_stats_dump. This warning only triggers after 9208247d74bc ("mac80211: minstrel_ht: add basic support for VHT rates <= 3SS@80MHz") with CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_VHT unset because then MINSTREL_VHT_GROUP_0 is above MINSTREL_GROUPS_NB and smatch only barks when the "testing array offset" seems to prevent possible out of bonds accesses (which does not happen here since i < ARRAY_SIZE(mi->groups)).

2014-10-21mac80211: minstrel_ht: add basic support for VHT rates <= 3SS@80MHzKarl Beldan1-8/+15
When the new CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_VHT is not set (default 'N'), there is no behavioral change including in sampling and MCS_GROUP_RATES remains 8. Otherwise MCS_GROUP_RATES is 10, and a module parameter *vht_only* (default 'true'), restricts the rates selection to VHT when VHT is supported. Regarding the debugfs stats buffer: It is explicitly increased from 8k to 32k to fit every rates incl. when both HT and VHT rates are enabled, as for the format, before: type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum) HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0( 0) after: type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum) HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0( 0) VHT40/LGI MCS5/2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0( 0) 0( 0) Signed-off-by: Karl Beldan <karl.beldan@rivierawaves.com> Cc: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2014-10-20mac80211: minstrels: fix buffer overflow in HT debugfs rc_statsKarl Beldan1-5/+8
ATM an HT rc_stats line is 106 chars. Times 8(MCS_GROUP_RATES)*3(SS)*2(GI)*2(BW) + CCK(4), i.e. x100, this is well above the current 8192 - sizeof(*ms) currently allocated. Fix this by squeezing the output as follows (not that we're short on memory but this also improves readability and range, the new format adds one more digit to *ok/*cum and ok/cum): - Before (HT) (106 ch): type rate throughput ewma prob this prob retry this succ/attempt success attempts CCK/LP 5.5M 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0( 0) 0 0 HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0 0 - After (75 ch): type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum) CCK/LP 5.5M 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0( 0) 0( 0) HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0( 0) - Align non-HT format Before (non-HT) (83 ch): rate throughput ewma prob this prob this succ/attempt success attempts ABCDP 6 0.0 0.0 0.0 0( 0) 0 0 54 0.0 0.0 0.0 0( 0) 0 0 - After (61 ch): rate tpt eprob *prob *ok(*cum) ok( cum) ABCDP 1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0( 0) 0( 0) 54 0.0 0.0 0.0 0( 0) 0( 0) *This also adds dynamic checks for overflow, lowers the size of the non-HT request (allowing > 30 entries) and replaces the buddy-rounded allocations (s/sizeof(*ms) + 8192/8192).

2014-09-11mac80211: improve minstrel_ht rate sorting by throughput & probabilityThomas Huehn1-4/+6
This patch improves the way minstrel_ht sorts rates according to throughput and success probability. 3 FOR-loops across the entire rate and mcs group set in function minstrel_ht_update_stats() which where used to determine the fastest, second fastest and most robust rate are reduced to 2 FOR-loop. The sorted list of rates according throughput is extended to the best four rates as we need them in upcoming joint rate and power control. The sorting is done via the new function minstrel_ht_sort_best_tp_rates(). The annotation of those 4 best throughput rates in the debugfs file rc-stats is changes to: "A,B,C,D", where A is the fastest rate and C the 4th fastest.

2013-11-25mac80211: minstrel_ht: replace some occurences of MCS_GROUP_RATESKarl Beldan1-2/+1
Consecutive MCSes in [8*(NSS-1)->8*NSS[ have the same number NSS of streams (except for MCS32 which is mishandled ATM). ATM minstrel_ht uses MCS_GROUP_RATES in place of this 8 modulus. This change replaces such occurences and by doing so allows for different values of MCS_GROUP_RATES (e.g to cope with VHT MCS8,9).

2013-02-13mac80211/minstrel_ht: add support for using CCK ratesFelix Fietkau1-42/+67
When MCS rates start to get bad in 2.4 GHz because of long range or strong interference, CCK rates can be a lot more robust. This patch adds a pseudo MCS group containing CCK rates (long preamble in the lower 4 slots, short preamble in the upper slots).
