[PATCH] ath10k: handling qos at STA side based on AP WMM enable/disable

[PATCH] ath10k: handling qos at STA side based on AP WMM enable/disable

[bpothuno]

From: Balaji Pothunoori <bpothuno@qti.qualcomm.com>

Data packets are not sent by STA in case of STA joined to
non QOS AP (WMM disabled AP). This is happening because of STA
is sending data packets to firmware from host with qos enabled
along with non qos queue value(TID = 16).
Due to qos enabled, firmware is discarding the packet.

This patch fixes this issue by updating the qos based on station
WME capability field if WMM is disabled in AP.

This patch is required by 10.4 family chipsets like
QCA4019/QCA9888/QCA9884/QCA99X0.
Firmware Versoin : 10.4-3.5.1-00018.

For 10.2.4 family chipsets QCA988X/QCA9887 and QCA6174 this patch
has no effect.

did you notice  that Marvell 88W8964 based clients will crash 10.4-3.5.3 
firmwares?  (tested with 9984 and 10.4-3.5.3-00038)
client device was a linksys wrt3200acm running dd-wrt for testing

RE: [PATCH] ath10k: handling qos at STA side based on AP WMM enable/disable

[Balaji Pothunoori]

Hi Sebastian,

If I am not wrong you are seeing the issue with WRT3200ACM (Marvell 88W8964) as client + QCA9984 (FW : 10.4-3.5.3-00038) as AP with below change you are seeing the crash while running traffic between the WRT3200ACM + QCA9984 ?
Do you used  any other client in place of WRT3200ACM ?
Can you share the more details on firmware crash ?

Regards,
Balaji.

there is not much  traffic required. as it seems the firmware crashes 
immediatly after association. the issue is also not present in 
10.4-3.4-0082ww

> Can you share the more details on firmware crash ?

so a firmware crashdump from log? i'll try to get it within the next 
hours. just need to resetup the test scenario

Still my question is not cleared,  firmware crash is due to this patch ? Also let me know do you observed same behavior with any other chipset ?

no. its unrelated to this patch but since you're working for qca i 
thought it would make sense to tell you this since saw that you're using 
ath10k firmwares which arent published officiall but based on the

qca firmwares which are published on chipcode. since i was testing  
these firmwares too some weeks ago i found its a good idea to tell you this
