wifi: ath12k: prepare sta data structure for MLO handling
To prepare the driver for MLO support, split the driver sta data structure to scale for multiple links. This requires changing the use of arsta to per link and not per hw which can now comprise of multiple links. Also since most configurations from mac80211 are done per link, do refactoring of the driver functions to apply these configurations at link level. Split struct ath12k_sta, which is the driver private of struct ieee80211_sta, to store link specific information as struct ath12k_link_sta. For default use cases struct ath12k_sta will have a preallocated link sta called deflink which will be used by non ML STAs and the first link sta of ML STA. With MLO support to be added, remaining link stas will allocated during state change where new STA is added. These link stas will be freed when STA is deleted. Current ath12k_sta(arsta) structure: +-----------------+ +----------------+ | | | | | ieee80211_sta | | ieee80211_sta | | private data | | private data | | | | | | ath12k_sta | | ath12k_sta | | (arsta) | | (arsta) | |+---------------+| | +-------------+| || *arvif (link || | |*arvif (link || || vif of an ar || | | vif of an ar|| || say 5GHz) || | | say 6GHz) || |+---------------+| | +-------------+| +-----------------+ +----------------+ New struct ath12k_sta (ahsta) containing ath12k_link_sta(s) (arsta) (deflink is preallocated member which is always the first link if ieee80211_sta is ML STA and is the only link sta otherwise): +---------------------------------------+ | ieee80211_sta | | private data | | | | ath12k_sta (ahsta) | | +-------------------------------------+ | | ath12k_link_sta deflink (arsta) | | | | | | *arvif (link vif of ar (5GHz)) | | +-------------------------------------+ | +-------------------------------------+ | | ath12k_link_sta *link (arsta) | | | | | | *arvif (link vif of ar (6GHz)) | | | | | +-------------------------------------+ | | +---------------------------------------+ To refactor existing ath12k_sta to make use of link stas, following changes are made: 1. Limit struct ieee80211_sta argument mac80211 ops unless otherwise really required. 2. struct ath12k_sta, now called by variable name arsta, stores multiple arstas (struct ah12k_link_sta) and also has a back pointer to struct ath12k_sta. 3. Pass struct ath12k_link_sta to mac functions that passed struct ieee80211_sta argument and fetch struct ath12k_sta (ahsta) and struct ieee80211_sta(sta) internally. This is done to avoid passing link id in all the functions and performing validation across these functions. Rather the validation and sta to arsta conversion can be done only at the mac80211 ops. 4. In this patchset, only ahsta->deflink is used to be on par with the existing code. When MLO support is added the link id will be used to fetch the arsta. 5. Change ath12k_sta_to_arsta() to ath12k_vif_to_ahsta() to fetch the ML level sta. The link sta can be fetched from ahsta->link[], or the deflink can be accessed via ahsta->deflink. API to access link sta (arsta) by passing link_id can be introduced with MLO Support. 6. The ieee80211_sta can be accessed from ahsta using ath12k_ahsta_to_sta() Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.0.1-00029-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1 Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0.c5-00481-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3 Signed-off-by: Sriram R <quic_srirrama@quicinc.com> Co-developed-by: Rameshkumar Sundaram <quic_ramess@quicinc.com> Signed-off-by: Rameshkumar Sundaram <quic_ramess@quicinc.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <quic_kvalo@quicinc.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241015171416.518022-4-kvalo@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jeff Johnson <quic_jjohnson@quicinc.com>
