In ath11k, tx of management packet is doing in a work queue. Sometimes the workqueue does not finish tx immediately, then it lead after the next step of vdev delete finished, it start to send the management packet to firmware and lead firmware crash. ieee80211_set_disassoc() have logic of ieee80211_flush_queues() after it send_deauth_disassoc() to ath11k, its purpose is make sure the deauth was actually sent, so it need to change ath11k to match the purpose of mac80211. To address these issue wait for tx mgmt as well as tx data packets. dmesg log of connect/disconnect to AP: [ 307.522226] wls1: authenticate with 62:66:e4:e9:6a:a9 [ 307.586565] wls1: send auth to 62:66:e4:e9:6a:a9 (try 1/3) [ 307.586581] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: mac tx mgmt frame, buf id 0 [ 307.586922] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: mac tx mgmt frame, vdev_id 0 [ 307.590179] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: wmi mgmt tx comp pending 0 desc id 0 [ 307.590181] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: mgmt tx compl ev pdev_id 2, desc_id 0, status 0 [ 307.598699] wls1: authenticated [ 307.599483] wls1: associate with 62:66:e4:e9:6a:a9 (try 1/3) [ 307.599506] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: mac tx mgmt frame, buf id 0 [ 307.599519] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: mac tx mgmt frame, vdev_id 0 [ 307.603059] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: wmi mgmt tx comp pending 0 desc id 0 [ 307.603063] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: mgmt tx compl ev pdev_id 2, desc_id 0, status 0 [ 307.637105] wls1: associated [ 317.365239] wls1: deauthenticating from 62:66:e4:e9:6a:a9 by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING) [ 317.368104] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: mac tx mgmt frame, buf id 0 [ 317.372622] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: mac tx mgmt frame, vdev_id 0 [ 317.378320] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: wmi mgmt tx comp pending 0 desc id 0 [ 317.378330] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: mgmt tx compl ev pdev_id 2, desc_id 0, status 0 [ 317.378359] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: mac mgmt tx flush mgmt pending 0 [ 317.421066] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: mac mgmt tx flush mgmt pending 0 [ 317.421427] ath11k_pci 0000:05:00.0: mac remove interface (vdev 0) Tested-on: QCA6390 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HST.1.0.1-01230-QCAHSTSWPLZ_V2_TO_X86-1 Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-01720.1-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-1 Signed-off-by: Wen Gong <quic_wgong@quicinc.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <quic_kvalo@quicinc.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211202063705.14321-1-quic_wgong@quicinc.com
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
