A couple of macros that deal with statistics in ath9k rely on the
declaration of the 'sc' variable, which they dereference.
However, when the statistics are disabled, the new instance in
ath_cmn_process_fft() causes a warning for an unused variable:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/common-spectral.c: In function 'ath_cmn_process_fft':
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/common-spectral.c:474:20: error: unused variable 'sc' [-Werror=unused-variable]
It's better if those macros only operate on their arguments instead of
known variable names, and adding a cast to (void) kills off that warning.

Introduce a debugfs option to manually override the noise floor,
ignoring the automatically tuned noise floor of the driver/hw.
In my tests with a AR9580 based module and a tx99 5 MHz interferer,
I could tune the noisefloor to -95 dBm or above to allow communication
again. The automatic noise floor calibration sometimes could adapt to
the situation as well, but not reliably and permanently.
I would consider this "feature" experimental and interesting for people
debugging the noise floor calibration or other effects of the hardware.

This reworks the ath9k driver to schedule transmissions to connected
stations in a way that enforces airtime fairness between them. It
accomplishes this by measuring the time spent transmitting to or
receiving from a station at TX and RX completion, and accounting this to
a per-station, per-QoS level airtime deficit. Then, an FQ-CoDel based
deficit scheduler is employed at packet dequeue time, to control which
station gets the next transmission opportunity.
Airtime fairness can significantly improve the efficiency of the network
when station rates vary. The following throughput values are from a
simple three-station test scenario, where two stations operate at the
highest HT20 rate, and one station at the lowest, and the scheduler is
employed at the access point:
Before / After
Fast station 1: 19.17 / 25.09 Mbps
Fast station 2: 19.83 / 25.21 Mbps
Slow station: 2.58 / 1.77 Mbps
Total: 41.58 / 52.07 Mbps
The benefit of airtime fairness goes up the more stations are present.
In a 30-station test with one station artificially limited to 1 Mbps,
we have seen aggregate throughput go from 2.14 to 17.76 Mbps.

This switches ath9k over to using the mac80211 intermediate software
queueing mechanism for data packets. It removes the queueing inside the
driver, except for the retry queue, and instead pulls from mac80211 when
a packet is needed. The retry queue is used to store a packet that was
pulled but can't be sent immediately.
The old code path in ath_tx_start that would queue packets has been
removed completely, as has the qlen limit tunables (since there's no
longer a queue in the driver to limit).
The mac80211 intermediate software queues offer significant latency
reductions, and this patch allows ath9k to realise them. The exact gains
from this varies with the test scenario, but in an access point scenario
we have seen latency reductions ranging from 1/3 to as much as an order
of magnitude. We also achieve slightly better aggregation.
Median latency (ping) figures with this patch applied at the access point,
with two high-rate stations and one low-rate station (HT20 5Ghz), running
a Flent rtt_fair_var_up test with one TCP flow and one ping flow going to
each station:
Fast station Slow station
Default pfifo_fast qdisc: 430.4 ms 638.7 ms
fq_codel qdisc on iface: 35.5 ms 211.8 ms
This patch set: 22.4 ms 38.2 ms
Median aggregation sizes over the same test:
Default pfifo_fast qdisc: 9.5 pkts 1.9 pkts
fq_codel qdisc on iface: 11.2 pkts 1.9 pkts
This patch set: 13.9 pkts 1.9 pkts
This patch is based on Tim's original patch set, but reworked quite
thoroughly.

A long time ago, ath9k had issues during reset where the DMA engine
would stay active and could potentially corrupt memory.
To debug those issues, the driver would print warnings whenever they
occur.
Nowadays, these issues are gone and the primary cause of these messages
is if the MAC is stuck during reset or busy processing a long
transmission. This is fairly harmless, yet these messages continue to
worry users.
To reduce the number of bogus bug reports, turn these messages into
debug messages and count their occurence in the "reset" debugfs file.
