wifi: ath11k: fix peer addition/deletion error on sta band migration
This patch try to fix the following error. Wed Jun 1 22:19:30 2022 kern.warn kernel: [ 119.561227] ath11k c000000.wifi: peer already added vdev id 0 req, vdev id 1 present Wed Jun 1 22:19:30 2022 kern.warn kernel: [ 119.561282] ath11k c000000.wifi: Failed to add peer: 28:c2:1f:xx:xx:xx for VDEV: 0 Wed Jun 1 22:19:30 2022 kern.warn kernel: [ 119.568053] ath11k c000000.wifi: Failed to add station: 28:c2:1f:xx:xx:xx for VDEV: 0 Wed Jun 1 22:19:31 2022 daemon.notice hostapd: wlan2: STA 28:c2:1f:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: Could not add STA to kernel driver Wed Jun 1 22:19:31 2022 daemon.notice hostapd: wlan2: STA 28:c2:1f:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response Wed Jun 1 22:19:31 2022 daemon.notice hostapd: wlan1: AP-STA-DISCONNECTED 28:c2:1f:xx:xx:xx Wed Jun 1 22:19:31 2022 daemon.info hostapd: wlan1: STA 28:c2:1f:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: disassociated due to inactivity Wed Jun 1 22:19:32 2022 daemon.info hostapd: wlan1: STA 28:c2:1f:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE) To repro this: - Have 2 Wifi with the same bssid and pass on different band (2.4 and 5GHz) - Enable 802.11r Fast Transaction with same mobility domain - FT Protocol: FT over the Air From a openwrt system issue the command (with the correct mac) ubus call hostapd.wlan1 wnm_disassoc_imminent '{"addr":"28:C2:1F:xx:xx:xx"}' Notice the log printing the errors. The cause of this error has been investigated and we found that this is related to the WiFi Fast Transaction feature. We observed that this is triggered when the router tells the device to change band. In this case the device first auth to the other band and then the disconnect path from the prev band is triggered. This is problematic with the current rhash implementation since the addrs is used as key and the logic of "adding first, delete later" conflicts with the rhash logic. In fact peer addition will fail since the peer is already added and with that fixed a peer deletion will cause unitended effect by removing the peer just added. Current solution to this is to add additional logic to the peer delete, make sure we are deleting the correct peer taken from the rhash table (and fallback to the peer list) and for the peer add logic delete the peer entry for the rhash list before adding the new one (counting as an error only when a peer with the same vlan_id is asked to be added). With this change, a sta can correctly transition from 2.4GHz and 5GHZ with no drop and no error are printed.
