ath10k: bypass htc for htt tx path
Going through full htc tx path for htt tx is a waste of resources. By skipping it it's possible to easily submit scatter-gather to the pci hif for reduced host cpu load and improved performance. The new approach uses dma pool to store the following metadata for each tx request: * msdu fragment list * htc header * htt tx command The htt tx command contains a msdu prefetch. Instead of copying it original mapped msdu address is used to submit a second scatter-gather item to hif to make a complete htt tx command. The htt tx command itself hands over dma mapped pointers to msdus and completion of the command itself doesn't mean the frame has been sent and can be unmapped/freed. This is why htc tx completion is skipped for htt tx as all tx related resources are freed upon htt tx completion indication event (which also implicitly means htt tx command itself was completed). Since now each htt tx request effectively consists of 2 copy engine items CE_HTT_H2T_MSG_SRC_NENTRIES is updated to allow maximum of TARGET_10X_NUM_MSDU_DESC msdus being queued. This keeps the tx path resource management simple. Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>
