wifi: ath12k: Move DP related functions from peer.c to dp_peer.c file
Refactor the structures and APIs defined in files peer.h and peer.c in such a
way that the APIs making use of ath12k_peer are moved to newly introduced files
dp_peer.h and dp_peer.c.
Have this new file dp_peer.c compiled as part of kernel module ath12k.ko.
Move these APIs from peer.h and peer.c to dp_peer.h and dp_peer.c:
ath12k_peer_find()
ath12k_peer_find_by_pdev_idx()
ath12k_peer_find_by_addr()
ath12k_peer_find_by_ml_id()
ath12k_peer_find_by_id()
ath12k_peer_exist_by_vdev_id()
ath12k_peer_find_by_ast()
ath12k_peer_unmap_event()
ath12k_peer_map_event()
ath12k_peer_get_link_sta()
Background:
In current ath12k architecture, connected station is represented by struct
ath12k_sta.
struct ath12k_sta has an array of struct ath12k_link_sta wherein each index
represents one link of the connected station.
For each ath12k_link_sta, there is a corresponding data path peer which is
represented by struct ath12k_peer.
Diagrammatic view of the station is as below:
ath12k_sta
|
|-> ath12k_link_sta <--> ath12k_peer
|
|-> ath12k_link_sta <--> ath12k_peer
|
|-> ath12k_link_sta <--> ath12k_peer
Currently, in control path, ath12k_link_sta and ath12k_peer are used
interchangeably, while the data path makes use of ath12k_peer only.
For ath12k next-generation driver framework, in order to have a clean
segregation between control and data path, use ath12k_link_sta only for control
path operations.
Station view for the data path is revamped as below:
ath12k_dp_peer
|
|-> ath12k_dp_link_peer
|
|-> ath12k_dp_link_peer
|
|-> ath12k_dp_link_peer
Introduce the structure ath12k_dp_peer to represent the data path version of
corresponding ath12k_sta.
This ath12k_dp_peer contains the fields used in the per packet Tx Rx paths
applicable across all the links and maintains an array of ath12k_dp_link_peer.
Per packet Tx and Rx path operates on ath12k_dp_peer. This ath12k_dp_peer is a
standalone new object and has back pointer reference to ieee80211_sta.
Rename ath12k_peer to ath12k_dp_link_peer and move the fields which are common
across all the links to ath12k_dp_peer.
Add the fields specific to a link which are mostly for statistics and monitor
usage to ath12k_dp_link_peer.
Final view of station in ath12k next-generation driver is shown as below:
Control Path Data Path
-------------------------------------------------------------------
ath12k_sta ath12k_dp_peer
| |
|-> ath12k_link_sta <----> |-> ath12k_dp_link_peer
| |
|-> ath12k_link_sta <----> |-> ath12k_dp_link_peer
| |
|-> ath12k_link_sta <----> |-> ath12k_dp_link_peer
This patch and the subsequent patches in this series are meant to achieve the
modularization of peer object as mentioned above.
