[PATCH 0/5] ath10k: recovery fixes 2014-05-09

[Michal Kazior]

Hi,

Here's is a bunch of fixes for recovery/hw
restart. This notably fixes a bug Ben has hit some
time ago.

I also have some improvements for recovery code as
well in a follow up patchset that I'll be sending
separately.


Michal Kazior (5):
  ath10k: clean up start() callback
  ath10k: perform hw restart lazily
  ath10k: drain tx before restarting hw
  ath10k: protect wep tx key setup
  ath10k: dont configure bssid for ap mode

Having err_ labels on the "main" code path is not good, the error
handling code should be clearly separated to make it easier to read. I
think you should use the same style as pci.c uses, for example something
like this:
       
 	mutex_unlock(&ar->conf_mutex);
 	return 0;
 
err_core_stop:
	ath10k_core_stop(ar);

err_power_down:
	ath10k_hif_power_down(ar);

err_off:
	ar->state = ATH10K_STATE_OFF;

 	mutex_unlock(&ar->conf_mutex);

 	return ret;

I know this has mutex_unlock() so it's not good either, but I think it's
still better. Other option might be to do like this:

        ret = 0;

out:
 	mutex_unlock(&ar->conf_mutex);
 	return ret;
 
err_core_stop:
	ath10k_core_stop(ar);

err_power_down:
	ath10k_hif_power_down(ar);

err_off:
	ar->state = ATH10K_STATE_OFF;

        goto out;

But not sure if it's any better. More ideas?

Oh yeah, please also add an empty line before each label.

[PATCH 2/5] ath10k: perform hw restart lazily

[Michal Kazior]

This reduces risk of races and prepares for more
hw restart fixes.

It also makes sense to perform teardown after
mac80211 starts its restart routine as it
guarantees it has stopped itself by then
(including tx queues).

[PATCH 3/5] ath10k: drain tx before restarting hw

[Michal Kazior]

This makes sure no further tx requests are
submitted to HTT before driver teardown.

This should prevent invalid pointer/NULL
dereference on htt tx pool in ath10k_htt_tx() in
some cases of heavy traffic.

[PATCH 3/5] ath10k: drain tx before restarting hw

[Michal Kazior]

This makes sure no further tx requests are
submitted to HTT before driver teardown.

This should prevent invalid pointer/NULL
dereference on htt tx pool in ath10k_htt_tx() in
some cases of heavy traffic.

[PATCH 4/5] ath10k: protect wep tx key setup

[Michal Kazior]

All configuration sequences should be protected
with conf_mutex to avoid concurrent/conflicting

This should make sure that wep tx key setup is not
performed while hw is restarted (at least).

Locks and mutexes should protect data, not thread of execution. What are
we exactly protecting here, arvif->def_wep_key_idx?

The patch makes sense, I'm just trying to understand the idea behind the
implementation.

BTW, shouldn't we also check the state and bail out if the state is not
ON (and possibly RESTARTED)? How can this work otherwise?

Actually conf_mutex idea is to protect and serialize configuration
sequences (WMI) too, not just data. Perhaps we should revise this?

Very good point!

But actually.. this should be cancelled during recovery in the first
place. I need to take a look at it.

I think this deserves a comment, at least "Firmware creates self-peer in
AP mode automatically" or something like that.

I think this deserves a comment, at least "Firmware creates self-peer in
AP mode automatically" or something like that.

[PATCH v2 0/5] ath10k: recovery fixes 2014-05-09

[Michal Kazior]

Hi,

Here's is a bunch of fixes for recovery/hw
restart. This notably fixes a bug Ben has hit some
time ago.

I also have some improvements for recovery code as
well in a follow up patchset that I'll be sending
separately.

v2:
 * minor code style adjustments
 * extra comment
 * sanity check in wep key worker


Michal Kazior (5):
  ath10k: clean up start() callback
  ath10k: perform hw restart lazily
  ath10k: drain tx before restarting hw
  ath10k: protect wep tx key setup
  ath10k: dont configure bssid for ap mode

[PATCH v2 2/5] ath10k: perform hw restart lazily

[Michal Kazior]

This reduces risk of races and prepares for more
hw restart fixes.

It also makes sense to perform teardown after
mac80211 starts its restart routine as it
guarantees it has stopped itself by then
(including tx queues).

[PATCH v2 3/5] ath10k: drain tx before restarting hw

[Michal Kazior]

This makes sure no further tx requests are
submitted to HTT before driver teardown.

This should prevent invalid pointer/NULL
dereference on htt tx pool in ath10k_htt_tx() in
some cases of heavy traffic.

For some reason I'm not receiving buildbot emails anymore, but I noticed
via the kbuild-all archives that this patch has a warning:

If CONFIG_LOCKDEP is disabled this will fail with:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/mac.c:2301:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'lockdep_is_held' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

I wasn't able to come up with any other way than adding '#ifdef
CONFIG_LOCKDEP' which is quite ugly. What should we do?

I guess we could define lockdep_assert_not_held() in debug.h?

Sure, but I still think it's a bit ugly. The right way to fix this would
be to add it to include/lockdep.h, instead of adding custom checks to a
driver. But does this check even make sense? There's nothing preventing
to another thread to take lock just after the WARN_ON(), right?

Oh, and if we add it to debug.h we should name ath10k_assert_not_held().
We should not use lockdep's namespace for anything inside ath10k.

Good point. I wonder if it's generic enough to justify.

There's nothing wrong with other thread holding it. Actually that's
the reason for this very check.

The point is to prevent ath10k_drain_tx() being called while caller
(current thread) holds conf_mutex. If it were to hold conf_mutex then
cancel_work_sync() can deadlock as both workers it tries to stop try
to get a hold of the lock too.

No idea. But no matter what it will take some time to get it accepted,
so we need to solve this in a faster way so that I can apply this patch.

Ah, now I understand.

What if we just drop the WARN_ON() from this patch just so that I can
apply the patch and we add a proper code for checking the mutex in a
followup patch? Are you ok with that?

I'm okay with this as long as we at least have a comment stating that
conf_mutex must not be held while calling the function to avoid
deadlocks.

That seems pointless - lockdep would warn you about that *anyway*
because cancel_work_sync() and friends have proper annotations. Try it
sometime :)

Does it splat every time or just by chance or after a deadlock?

with that?

/* Must not be called with conf_mutex held as workers can use that also. */
static void ath10k_drain_tx(struct ath10k *ar)
{

	cancel_work_sync(&ar->offchan_tx_work);
	cancel_work_sync(&ar->wmi_mgmt_tx_work);

[PATCH v2 4/5] ath10k: protect wep tx key setup

[Michal Kazior]

All configuration sequences should be protected
with conf_mutex to avoid concurrent/conflicting
requests.

This should make sure that wep tx key setup is not
performed while hw is restarted (at least).
