81 /**
82  * DOC: station table - introduction
83  *
84  * The station table is a list of data structure that reprensent the stations.
85  * In STA/P2P client mode, the driver will hold one station for the AP/ GO.
86  * In GO/AP mode, the driver will have as many stations as associated clients.
87  * All these stations are reflected in the fw's station table. The driver
88  * keeps the fw's station table up to date with the ADD_STA command. Stations
89  * can be removed by the REMOVE_STA command.
90  *
91  * All the data related to a station is held in the structure %iwl_mvm_sta
92  * which is embed in the mac80211's %ieee80211_sta (in the drv_priv) area.
93  * This data includes the index of the station in the fw, per tid information
94  * (sequence numbers, Block-ack state machine, etc...). The stations are
95  * created and deleted by the %sta_state callback from %ieee80211_ops.
96  *
97  * The driver holds a map: %fw_id_to_mac_id that allows to fetch a
98  * %ieee80211_sta (and the %iwl_mvm_sta embedded into it) based on a fw
99  * station index. That way, the driver is able to get the tid related data in
100  * O(1) in time sensitive paths (Tx / Tx response / BA notification). These
101  * paths are triggered by the fw, and the driver needs to get a pointer to the
102  * %ieee80211 structure. This map helps to get that pointer quickly.
103  */
104 
105 /**
106  * DOC: station table - locking
107  *
108  * As stated before, the station is created / deleted by mac80211's %sta_state
109  * callback from %ieee80211_ops which can sleep. The next paragraph explains
110  * the locking of a single stations, the next ones relates to the station
111  * table.
112  *
113  * The station holds the sequence number per tid. So this data needs to be
114  * accessed in the Tx path (which is softIRQ). It also holds the Block-Ack
115  * information (the state machine / and the logic that checks if the queues
116  * were drained), so it also needs to be accessible from the Tx response flow.
117  * In short, the station needs to be access from sleepable context as well as
118  * from tasklets, so the station itself needs a spinlock.
119  *
120  * The writers of %fw_id_to_mac_id map are serialized by the global mutex of
121  * the mvm op_mode. This is possible since %sta_state can sleep.
122  * The pointers in this map are RCU protected, hence we won't replace the
123  * station while we have Tx / Tx response / BA notification running.
124  *
125  * If a station is deleted while it still has packets in its A-MPDU queues,
126  * then the reclaim flow will notice that there is no station in the map for
127  * sta_id and it will dump the responses.
128  */

130 /**
131  * DOC: station table - internal stations
132  *
133  * The FW needs a few internal stations that are not reflected in
134  * mac80211, such as broadcast station in AP / GO mode, or AUX sta for
135  * scanning and P2P device (during the GO negotiation).
136  * For these kind of stations we have %iwl_mvm_int_sta struct which holds the
137  * data relevant for them from both %iwl_mvm_sta and %ieee80211_sta.
138  * Usually the data for these stations is static, so no locking is required,
139  * and no TID data as this is also not needed.
140  * One thing to note, is that these stations have an ID in the fw, but not
141  * in mac80211. In order to "reserve" them a sta_id in %fw_id_to_mac_id
142  * we fill ERR_PTR(EINVAL) in this mapping and all other dereferencing of
143  * pointers from this mapping need to check that the value is not error
144  * or NULL.
145  *
146  * Currently there is only one auxiliary station for scanning, initialized
147  * on init.

150 /**
151  * DOC: station table - AP Station in STA mode
152  *
153  * %iwl_mvm_vif includes the index of the AP station in the fw's STA table:
154  * %ap_sta_id. To get the point to the corresponding %ieee80211_sta,
155  * &fw_id_to_mac_id can be used. Due to the way the fw works, we must not remove
156  * the AP station from the fw before setting the MAC context as unassociated.
157  * Hence, %fw_id_to_mac_id[%ap_sta_id] will be NULLed when the AP station is
158  * removed by mac80211, but the station won't be removed in the fw until the
159  * VIF is set as unassociated. Then, %ap_sta_id will be invalidated.

162 /**
163  * DOC: station table - Drain vs. Flush
164  *
165  * Flush means that all the frames in the SCD queue are dumped regardless the
166  * station to which they were sent. We do that when we disassociate and before
167  * we remove the STA of the AP. The flush can be done synchronously against the
168  * fw.
169  * Drain means that the fw will drop all the frames sent to a specific station.
170  * This is useful when a client (if we are IBSS / GO or AP) disassociates. In
171  * that case, we need to drain all the frames for that client from the AC queues
172  * that are shared with the other clients. Only then, we can remove the STA in
173  * the fw. In order to do so, we track the non-AMPDU packets for each station.
174  * If mac80211 removes a STA and if it still has non-AMPDU packets pending in
175  * the queues, we mark this station as %EBUSY in %fw_id_to_mac_id, and drop all
176  * the frames for this STA (%iwl_mvm_rm_sta). When the last frame is dropped
177  * (we know about it with its Tx response), we remove the station in fw and set
178  * it as %NULL in %fw_id_to_mac_id: this is the purpose of
179  * %iwl_mvm_sta_drained_wk.
180  */

182 /**
183  * DOC: station table - fw restart
184  *
185  * When the fw asserts, or we have any other issue that requires to reset the
186  * driver, we require mac80211 to reconfigure the driver. Since the private
187  * data of the stations is embed in mac80211's %ieee80211_sta, that data will
188  * not be zeroed and needs to be reinitialized manually.
189  * %IWL_MVM_STATUS_IN_HW_RESTART is set during restart and that will hint us
190  * that we must not allocate a new sta_id but reuse the previous one. This
191  * means that the stations being re-added after the reset will have the same
192  * place in the fw as before the reset. We do need to zero the %fw_id_to_mac_id
193  * map, since the stations aren't in the fw any more. Internal stations that
194  * are not added by mac80211 will be re-added in the init flow that is called
195  * after the restart: mac80211 call's %iwl_mvm_mac_start which calls to
196  * %iwl_mvm_up.
