The txpower is being recalculated when adding interface to make sure txpower won't overshoot the spec, and when removing the interface, the txpower should again to be recalculated to restore the correct value from the active interface list. Following is one of the scenario vdev0 is created as STA and connected: txpower:23 vdev1 is created as P2P_DEVICE for control interface: txpower:0 vdev2 is created as p2p go/gc interface: txpower is 21 So the vdev2@txpower:21 will be set to firmware when vdev2 is created. When we tear down the vdev2, the txpower needs to be recalculated to re-set it to vdev0@txpower:23 as vdev0/vdev1 are the active interface. ath10k_pci mac vdev 0 peer create 8c:fd:f0:01:62:98 ath10k_pci mac vdev_id 0 txpower 23 ...

Whenever firmware crashes, and both CONFIG_ATH10K_DEBUGFS and CONFIG_ALLOW_DEV_COREDUMP are enabled, dump information about the crash via a devcoredump device. Dump can be read from userspace for further analysis from: /sys/class/devcoredump/devcd*/data As until now we have provided the firmware crash dump file via fw_crash_dump debugfs keep it still available but deprecate and a warning print that the user should switch to using dev_coredump. Future improvement would be not to depend on CONFIG_ATH10K_DEBUGFS, as there might be systems which want to get the firmware crash dump but not enable debugfs. How to handle memory consumption is also something which needs to be taken into account.

Ath10k reports the phy capability that supports P2P_DEVICE interface. When we use the P2P supported wpa_supplicant to start connection, it'll create two interfaces, one is wlan0 (vdev_id=0) and one is P2P_DEVICE p2p-dev-wlan0 which is for p2p control channel (vdev_id=1). ath10k_pci mac vdev create 0 (add interface) type 2 subtype 0 ath10k_add_interface: vdev_id: 0, txpower: 0, bss_power: 0 ... ath10k_pci mac vdev create 1 (add interface) type 2 subtype 1 ath10k_add_interface: vdev_id: 1, txpower: 0, bss_power: 0 And the txpower in per vif bss_conf will only be set to valid tx power when the interface is assigned with channel_ctx. But this P2P_DEVICE interface will never be used for any connection, so that the uninitialized bss_conf.txpower=0 is assinged to the arvif->txpower when interface created. Since the txpower configuration is firmware per physical interface. So the smallest txpower of all vifs will be the one limit the tx power of the physical device, that causing the low txpower issue on other active interfaces. wlan0: Limiting TX power to 21 (24 - 3) dBm ath10k_pci mac vdev_id 0 txpower 21 ath10k_mac_txpower_recalc: vdev_id: 1, txpower: 0 ath10k_mac_txpower_recalc: vdev_id: 0, txpower: 21 ath10k_pci mac txpower 0 This issue only happens when we use the wpa_supplicant that supports P2P or if we use the iw tool to create the control P2P_DEVICE interface.

'ath10k_htt_tx_free_cont_txbuf' and 'ath10k_htt_tx_free_cont_frag_desc' have NULL pointer checks to avoid crash if they are called twice but this is as of now not sufficient as these pointers are not assigned to NULL once the contiguous DMA memory allocation is freed, fix this.

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.

The ar9300_eeprom logic is already using only 8-bit (endian neutral), __le16 and __le32 fields to state explicitly how the values should be interpreted. All other EEPROM implementations (4k, 9287 and def) were using u16 and u32 fields with additional logic to swap the values (read from the original EEPROM) so they match the current CPUs endianness. The EEPROM format defaults to "all values are Little Endian", indicated by the absence of the AR5416_EEPMISC_BIG_ENDIAN in the u8 EEPMISC register. If we detect that the EEPROM indicates Big Endian mode (AR5416_EEPMISC_BIG_ENDIAN is set in the EEPMISC register) then we'll swap the values to convert them into Little Endian. This is done by activating the EEPMISC based logic in ath9k_hw_nvram_swap_data even if AH_NO_EEP_SWAP is set (this makes ath9k behave like the FreeBSD driver, which also does not have a flag to enable swapping based on the AR5416_EEPMISC_BIG_ENDIAN bit). Before this logic was only used to enable swapping when "current CPU endianness != EEPROM endianness". After changing all relevant fields to __le16 and __le32 sparse was used to check that all code which reads any of these fields uses le{16,32}_to_cpu.

There are two ways of swapping the EEPROM data in the ath9k driver: 1) swab16 based on the first two EEPROM "magic" bytes (same for all EEPROM formats) 2) field and EEPROM format specific swab16/swab32 (different for eeprom_def, eeprom_4k and eeprom_9287) The result of the first check was used to also enable the second swap. This behavior seems incorrect, since the data may only be byte-swapped (afterwards the data could be in the correct endianness). Thus we introduce a separate check based on the "eepmisc" register (which is part of the EEPROM data). When bit 0 is set, then the EEPROM format specific values are in "big endian". This is also done by the FreeBSD kernel, see [0] for example. This allows us to parse EEPROMs with the "correct" magic bytes but swapped EEPROM format specific values. These EEPROMs (mostly found in lantiq and broadcom based big endian MIPS based devices) only worked due to platform specific "hacks" which swapped the EEPROM so the magic was inverted, which also enabled the format specific swapping. With this patch the old behavior is still supported, but neither recommended nor needed anymore.

The AR5416_VER_MASK macro does the same as get_eeprom_rev, except that one has to know the actual EEPROM type (and providing a reference to that in a variable named "eep"). Additionally the eeprom_*.c implementations used the same shifting logic multiple times to get the eeprom revision which was also unnecessary duplication of get_eeprom_rev. Also use the AR5416_EEP_VER_MINOR_MASK macro where needed and introduce a similar macro (AR5416_EEP_VER_MAJOR_MASK) for the major version. Finally drop AR9287_EEP_VER_MINOR_MASK since it simply duplicates the already defined AR5416_EEP_VER_MINOR_MASK.

The eepMisc field was not set explicitly. The default value of 0 means that the values in the EEPROM (template) should be interpreted as little endian. However, this is not clear until comparing the AR9003 code with the other EEPROM formats. To make the code easier to understand we explicitly state that the values are little endian - there are no functional changes with this patch.

Implemented RFC7527 Enhanced DAD. IPv6 duplicate address detection can fail if there is some temporary loopback of Ethernet frames. RFC7527 solves this by including a random nonce in the NS messages used for DAD, and if an NS is received with the same nonce it is assumed to be a looped back DAD probe and is ignored. RFC7527 is enabled by default. Can be disabled by setting both of conf/{all,interface}/enhanced_dad to zero.

The mv88e6390 has a much expanded set of priority maps. Refactor the existing code, and implement basic support for the new device. Similarly, the monitor control register has been reworked. The mv88e6390 has something odd in its EDSA tagging implementation, which means it is not possible to use it. So we need to use DSA tagging. This is the first device with EDSA support where we need to use DSA, and the code does not support this. So two patches refactor the existing code. The two different register definitions are separated out, and using DSA on an EDSA capable device is added. v2: Add port prefix Add helper function for 6390 Add _IEEE_ into #defines Split monitor_ctrl into a number of separate ops.

Older chips support a single tagging protocol, DSA. New chips support both DSA and EDSA, an enhanced version. Having both as an option changes the register layouts. Up until now, it has been assumed that if EDSA is supported, it will be used. Hence the register layout has been determined by which protocol should be used. However, mv88e6390 has a different implementation of EDSA, which requires we need to use the DSA tagging. Hence separate the selection of the protocol from the register layout.

Jiri Pirko says: ==================== ipv4: fib: Replay events when registering FIB notifier Ido says: In kernel 4.9 the switchdev-specific FIB offload mechanism was replaced by a new FIB notification chain to which modules could register in order to be notified about the addition and deletion of FIB entries. The motivation for this change was that switchdev drivers need to be able to reflect the entire FIB table and not only FIBs configured on top of the port netdevs themselves. This is useful in case of in-band management. The fundamental problem with this approach is that upon registration listeners lose all the information previously sent in the chain and thus have an incomplete view of the FIB tables, which can result in packet loss. This patchset fixes that by dumping the FIB tables and replaying notifications previously sent in the chain for the registered notification block. The entire dump process is done under RCU and thus the FIB notification chain is converted to be atomic. The listeners are modified accordingly. This is done in the first eight patches. The ninth patch adds a change sequence counter to ensure the integrity of the FIB dump. The last patch adds the dump itself to the FIB chain registration function and modifies existing listeners to pass a callback to be executed in case dump was inconsistent. --- v3->v4: - Register the notification block after the dump and protect it using the change sequence counter (Hannes Frederic Sowa). - Since we now integrate the dump into the registration function, drop the sysctl to set maximum number of retries and instead set it to a fixed number. Lets see if it's really a problem before adding something we can never remove. - For the same reason, dump FIB tables for all net namespaces. - Add a comment regarding guarantees provided by mutex semantics. v2->v3: - Add sysctl to set the number of FIB dump retries (Hannes Frederic Sowa). - Read the sequence counter under RTNL to ensure synchronization between the dump process and other processes changing the routing tables (Hannes Frederic Sowa). - Pass a callback to the dump function to be executed prior to a retry. - Limit the dump to a single net namespace. v1->v2: - Add a sequence counter to ensure the integrity of the FIB dump (David S. Miller, Hannes Frederic Sowa). - Protect notifications from re-ordering in listeners by using an ordered workqueue (Hannes Frederic Sowa). - Introduce fib_info_hold() (Jiri Pirko). - Relieve rocker from the need to invoke the FIB dump by registering to the FIB notification chain prior to ports creation. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit b90eb754 ("fib: introduce FIB notification infrastructure") introduced a new notification chain to notify listeners (f.e., switchdev drivers) about addition and deletion of routes. However, upon registration to the chain the FIB tables can already be populated, which means potential listeners will have an incomplete view of the tables. Solve that by dumping the FIB tables and replaying the events to the passed notification block. The dump itself is done using RCU in order not to starve consumers that need RTNL to make progress. The integrity of the dump is ensured by reading the FIB change sequence counter before and after the dump under RTNL. This allows us to avoid the problematic situation in which the dumping process sends a ENTRY_ADD notification following ENTRY_DEL generated by another process holding RTNL. Callers of the registration function may pass a callback that is executed in case the dump was inconsistent with current FIB tables. The number of retries until a consistent dump is achieved is set to a fixed number to prevent callers from looping for long periods of time. In case current limit proves to be problematic in the future, it can be easily converted to be configurable using a sysctl.

The next patch will enable listeners of the FIB notification chain to request a dump of the FIB tables. However, since RTNL isn't taken during the dump, it's possible for the FIB tables to change mid-dump, which will result in inconsistency between the listener's table and the kernel's. Allow listeners to know about changes that occurred mid-dump, by adding a change sequence counter to each net namespace. The counter is incremented just before a notification is sent in the FIB chain. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In order not to hold RTNL for long periods of time we're going to dump the FIB tables using RCU. Convert the FIB notification chain to be atomic, as we can't block in RCU critical sections.
