Commit [1] introduced a regression causing severely degraded MLO RX
throughput on WCN7850.
On WCN7850, there is only a single ar instance, but MLO uses two
link IDs. ath12k_dp_peer->hw_links[] is indexed using ar->hw_link_id,
which causes both MLO link IDs to be stored at the same index.
As a result, an incorrect link ID is assigned to MSDUs in
ath12k_dp_rx_deliver_msdu(), leading to severe MLO RX throughput loss.
Different chipsets identify the per-MSDU link differently:
- On QCN9274 / IPQ5332, the host owns multiple ar instances and the
per-MSDU hw_link_id from the RX descriptor maps cleanly through
dp_peer->hw_links[hw_link_id] to the IEEE link_id.
- On single-ar chipsets like WCN7850 / QCC2072, there is only one ar
instance for both MLO links, so dp_peer->hw_links[] has just one
valid slot and cannot be used to distinguish the two links. To
resolve the link, walk dp_peer->link_peers[] and match by
rxcb->peer_id, which on the link_peer side identifies the link
peer for the MSDU.
Add a new hw_op set_rx_link_id() so each chipset resolves the link
on the RX fast path using whatever signal it actually has, and let
the op itself decide whether to populate rx_status::link_valid and
rx_status::link_id:
QCN9274 / IPQ5332 : always derive link_id from
dp_peer->hw_links[rxcb->hw_link_id] and set
link_valid.
WCN7850 / QCC2072 : walk the link_peers[] of dp_peer to find the
link_peer whose peer_id matches rxcb->peer_id,
and set link_valid only when a match is found.
Otherwise leave link_valid clear so that
mac80211 can fall back to its own link
resolution path (via addr2 / deflink).
For WCN7850 / QCC2072, walking dp_peer->link_peers[] is bounded by
the number of links actually populated, so introduce a link_peers_map
bitmap (unsigned long) in struct ath12k_dp_peer that tracks populated
slots and use for_each_set_bit() to iterate. Non-MLO clients hit one
slot, current MLO clients hit two; the full ATH12K_NUM_MAX_LINKS
array is never scanned. The bitmap is maintained with WRITE_ONCE() on
the write side (under dp_hw->peer_lock) paired with READ_ONCE() on
both the lockless RX read side and the write-side RMW for KCSAN
correctness.
Also guard the dp_peer dereference in ath12k_mac_peer_cleanup_all()
with a NULL check, since peer->dp_peer can be NULL for self-peers or
peers not yet fully assigned, the pre-existing rcu_assign_pointer()
call there had the same latent issue.
This restores the correct link ID on WCN7850 without changing the
QCN9274 / IPQ5332 data path, which keeps its O(1) hw_links[]
indexing.
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c5-00302-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.115823.3
