If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicolas Escande [ Upstream commit 7e0ad05ebc72fffba2bdf2400400902d94ed7272 ] When (multiple) hw restart occurs, we end up in a situation where we cannot accept new stations / mesh peers. This seems to be the 'num_stations' in 'struct ath11k' that did not get reset properly in this case. In ath11k_mac_op_start(), it was indeed the only accounting var that did not get reset so let's clear it too. This avoids problems like those: [1248828.088023] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 12281 at net/mac80211/util.c:1682 ieee80211_reconfig_stations+0x98/0xc0 [1248828.088115] Call trace: [1248828.088116] ieee80211_reconfig_stations+0x98/0xc0 (P) [1248828.088119] ieee80211_reconfig+0x774/0x1438 [1248828.088123] ieee80211_restart_work+0x10c/0x178 [1248828.088127] process_one_work+0x178/0x3c0 [1248828.088130] worker_thread+0x280/0x440 [1248828.088133] kthread+0xe0/0xf8 [1248828.088137] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 [1248828.088141] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- [1248836.686604] ath11k_pci 0000:04:00.0: refusing to associate station: too many connected already (128) [1248836.686609] ath11k_pci 0000:04:00.0: Failed to add station: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx for VDEV: 1 Tested-on: QCN9074 hw1.0 PCI WLAN.HK.2.9.0.1-01977-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1 Fixes: d5c65159f289 ("ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices") Signed-off-by: Nicolas Escande Reviewed-by: Rameshkumar Sundaram Reviewed-by: Baochen Qiang Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260812-num-station-v3-1-871d20e043f6@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jeff Johnson Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c index 2ef03ad1c9051..8565a7031fae4 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c @@ -5879,6 +5879,7 @@ static int ath11k_mac_op_start(struct ieee80211_hw *hw) ar->num_started_vdevs = 0; ar->num_created_vdevs = 0; ar->num_peers = 0; + ar->num_stations = 0; ar->allocated_vdev_map = 0; /* Configure monitor status ring with default rx_filter to get rx status -- 2.53.0
