Hi,
While porting an internal BSP (a design based on a at91sam9g20 SoC)
from 3.10 to 3.14, I got flooded with messages like:

After temporarily reverting commit
3482528e9aced9234d4e2a4a9538c882a9aa5aa2, which enables debug checks
on all USB urb's (previously is was only enabled for a
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG enabled kernel), the WiFi chip starts to work
correctly. The chip in question is a ar9721.
The same USB stick works without these messages on my laptop; while
another USB stick, based on an rtl8187 chip, works without these
messages on the target system (at91sam9g20)
Any pointers to what it could be? Or suggestions on how to attack the issue?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Anders

I can't tell exactly where the fault is, but this message means that an
URB was submitted for a bulk endpoint with a pipe of type
PIPE_INTERRUPT.

Fix the URB submission to use the correct pipe type.

Hi Andreas,
... uff.. again at91_ohci with 12 Mbit usb!!! No interest. I don't even
wont to talk about it. Except only if you have usb protocol analyser.
Beside, this warning is about slow path, which i would expect on this
configuration.

It is primary ar9271 issue. The interrupt EP has different response time
on different host controllers. Initially as workaround ath9k was forcing
Bulk traffic on Interrupt EP. But this workaround is working with some
host controllers and completely fails on others. So i removed it. The
patches are included in master kernel branch and git firmware source.

ar9271 can work as AP with limit on 8 stations but according to user
reports it fails even with one station on at91

For AP usually should be created monitor mode interface for receiving
and transmitting management frames. Depending on location and STAs or
APs working on same channel, you will get a lot of traffic on this usb
interface.
Some users reported huge traffic drops on at91 based APs. Since i can't
debug it, i can't promise that it will be fixed any time soon.

Beside, do any one know how can i get hands on usb protocol analyser?
I think ath9k_htc should be fixed or at least limited.

Then kernel driver and firmware should be updated. There was some
Bulk/Interrupt issues which was fixed last year.
I hope this HW will not be used as AP.

Any pointers to the bulk/interrupt issues? Was it a general issue, or
related either to
at91-ohci or ar9271?
As far as I've been able to find out, I've got the latest firmware
(check again with linux-firmware).
I've also tried with the master from open-ath9k-htc-firmware.
> I hope this HW will not be used as AP.
Is this based on the use of at91- SoC, or based on the ar9271?
The primary use case is to run as a client, though there will likely
be some instances where it'll
function as a AP. (Though primarily for M2M communications), thus
pretty low traffic.

Thanks for the comments!
I'll take a look at it, though it might have to be scheduled after the
upcoming vacations...
I'll sure try to look into those workarounds (and your removal of
those). I guess that
it's the firmware in open-ath9-htc-firmware you're talking about.

Again, thanks for the information.
I think I've got a much better understanding of the issues (both those that I've
seen, and those that you have mentioned / explained). I'll see when/what I can
look into this and what I can find out.

Yeah, that's the plan. At least to try and fix it, I just have to find
the spot where the
wrong pipe type is selected. (And the summer vacation is approaching fast).
Thanks for confirming my suspicion regarding the pipe type.

i assume you mean this:
commit 2b721118b7821107757eb1d37af4b60e877b27e7
Author: Oleksij Rempel <[email protected]>
Date: Tue Aug 13 21:10:19 2013 +0200
ath9k_htc: do not use bulk on EP3 and EP4
If usb auto suspend is enabled or system run in to suspend/resume
cycle, ath9k-htc adapter will stop to response. It is reproducible
on xhci H
Host part of problem:
XHCI do timing calculation based on Transfer Type and bInterval,
immediately after device was detected. Ath9k-htc try to overwrite
this parameters on module probe and some changes in FW,
since we do not initiate usb reset from the driver this changes
are not took to account. So, before any kind of suspend or reset,
host controller will operate with old parameters. Only after
suspend/resume
and if interface id stay unchanged, new parameters will be applied. Host
will send bulk data with no intervals (?), which will cause
overflow on FIFO of EP4.
Firmware part of problem:
By default, ath9k-htc adapters configured with EP3 and EP4
as interrupt endpoints. Current firmware will try to overwrite
ConfigDescriptor to make EP3 and EP4 bulk. FIFO for this endpoints
stay not reconfigured, so under the hood it is still Int EP.
This patch is revert of 4a0e8ecca4ee commit which trying to
reduce CPU usage on some systems. Since it will produce more bug
as fixes, we will need to find other way to fix it.
here is comment from kernel source which has some more explanation:
* Some buggy high speed devices have bulk endpoints using
* maxpacket sizes other than 512. High speed HCDs may not
* be able to handle that particular bug, so let's warn...
in our case EP3 and EP4 have maxpacket sizes = 64!!!

Anders, did you ever have a chance to look at this? I am seeing this
same warning that is filling up the kernel logs in v3.18-rc6.
The device I am using is:

> ath9k_htc: do not use bulk on EP3 and EP4
>
> If usb auto suspend is enabled or system run in to suspend/resume
> cycle, ath9k-htc adapter will stop to response. It is reproducible
> on xhci H
>
> Host part of problem:
> XHCI do timing calculation based on Transfer Type and bInterval,
> immediately after device was detected. Ath9k-htc try to overwrite
> this parameters on module probe and some changes in FW,
> since we do not initiate usb reset from the driver this changes
> are not took to account. So, before any kind of suspend or reset,
> host controller will operate with old parameters. Only after
> suspend/resume
> and if interface id stay unchanged, new parameters will be applied. Host
> will send bulk data with no intervals (?), which will cause
> overflow on FIFO of EP4.
>
> Firmware part of problem:
> By default, ath9k-htc adapters configured with EP3 and EP4
> as interrupt endpoints. Current firmware will try to overwrite
> ConfigDescriptor to make EP3 and EP4 bulk. FIFO for this endpoints
> stay not reconfigured, so under the hood it is still Int EP.
>
> This patch is revert of 4a0e8ecca4ee commit which trying to
> reduce CPU usage on some systems. Since it will produce more bug
> as fixes, we will need to find other way to fix it.
>
> here is comment from kernel source which has some more explanation:
> * Some buggy high speed devices have bulk endpoints using
> * maxpacket sizes other than 512. High speed HCDs may not
> * be able to handle that particular bug, so let's warn...
>
> in our case EP3 and EP4 have maxpacket sizes = 64!!!
