Subject: [PATCH] ath11k: Allow debugfs to work with 2+ radios installed.

From: Ben Greear <[email protected]>

The code is trying to create an ath11k directory on debugfs
root, but that fails when there is a second radio (and thus
second instance of the driver).

Work around this by finding a free name. This may fall into
the HACK category, I'm not really sure what the original design
is supposed to accomplish.

NOTE: A second radio still does not get far enough to fully boot
the NIC and create a phy* device, but at least system doesn't crash
hard now.

Hi Ben,

IPQ8074 is soc and it does not need second debugfs entry, its on AHB.
QCA6390 is a pci card and multiple debug entries are needed if multiple
cards are available,
I am planning to post a patch with bus specific abstraction function
which creates single debugfs for soc based radios and multiple entries
for PCI based radios.

AHB:
debugfs/ath11k/IPQ8074/

PCI
debugfs/ath11k/QCA6390_0001:01:00.0/
debugfs/ath11k/QCA6390_0000:01:00.0/

Thanks
Anil

I appreciate your feedback on this!

Why not just stick with the way ath10k does, having the ath11k debugfs entry be
under the phy debugfs directory?

Maybe there is a high-level design document for the ath11k driver somewhere that
explains how and why it is architected with the ath11k base object holding multiple
phy objects?

And, very curious to know if you are able to get multiple QCA6390 NICs running on the
same system, I'm seeing all sort of problems including NICs not always showing up in lspci
and such.

Thanks,
Ben

The initial ath11k driver was supporting IPQ8074, its an SOC and has
3-radios under wifi0,
- few entries in debugfs are common for SOC,all these are under
debugfs/ath11k/IPQ8074/
"simulate_fw_crash"
"soc_dp_stats"
- few entries are per radio, these are under
debugfs/ath11k/IPQ8074/mac0/
"ext_tx_stats"
"ext_rx_stats"
"pktlog_filter"
debugfs/ath11k/IPQ8074/mac1
"ext_tx_stats"
"ext_rx_stats"
"pktlog_filter"
debugfs/ath11k/IPQ8074/mac2
"ext_tx_stats"
"ext_rx_stats"
"pktlog_filter"

I am not aware of this, like to understand the output of, qrtr-lookup

Ok, so one 8074 firmware instance is handling multiple radios, and if firmware crashes, then
it would take down every radio at once?

Based on my testing with debugs, whatever driver I pulled down from the ath tree had zero
chance of working due to immediate crash. So, have you been able to test multiple
6390 radios yet?

How do I do this qrtr-lookup command?

Thanks,
Ben

https://github.com/andersson/qrtr, this has the tools.

Also please share the dmesg | grep ath11k log with both radios.
I understand its crashing, please share the ath11k boot logs.
