From: Ben Greear <[email protected]>
I put a v1 NIC from an TP-LINK AC 1750 AP in
a 64-bit PC, and the OS crashes on bootup. I'm not
sure how broken my hardware is (possibly completely non
functional), but at least with this patch it will no longer
crash the OS. Not sure it ever got far enough to try,
but I also do not have firmware for the NIC.
With this patch I get this info on module load:

Doh, dropped an essential word from a sentence, again. That's what I get
when trying to do multiple things at the same time.
What I was trying to say: Maybe we should add proper error hanling to
ath10k_pci_wake() and ath10k_do_pci_wake() and that way avoid this?

Sure, the driver should not crash if HW is not functioning correctly.
I'm just saying that adding odd checks at random places is not the
"kernel way" to do things, only GTK people do that ;)
I was thinking that the proper way is to check that wakeup succeeds and
not enable interrupts or something like that.

Thanks.
Oh, did you mention something that ath10k detect the device as hw2.0?
Maybe the PCI ids are wrong? Then you could also force the same
workaround for hw2.0 as hw1.0 has:

I tried two different NICS extracted from two different APs and the behaviour
is the same, so it is probably not just a manufacturing error.
Please note that I do NOT have v1 firmware, though from what I could tell,
this NIC was showing up as v2 hardware anyway...
Thanks,
Ben

I haven't seen this myself so it might be a hw problem, but difficult to
say.

The tests you add look like workarounds. I would prefer to try fix these
by going to the source of the problem. Maybe we should add
ath10k_pci_wake() and ath10k_do_pci_wake()?
Can you enable few debug logs, like ATH10K_DBG_PCI, and post them? That
would give more hint there things are going wrong.

The teardown sequence is broken. Interrupts aren't
disabled/unregistered soon enough. I have a pending patch that should
fix this (although it's still more of a workaround than a real fix
since we need proper variable init code/ hw init code separation to be
done). However the patch depends on my recovery patchset so I haven't
posted it yet.
Pozdrawiam / Best regards,
Michał Kazior.

Maybe..I haven't spent much time in the driver yet, so not sure
the best place to fix the null ce_state issue.

With the array-index crashes, you are asking firmware for some
value, and not sanity checking the return value to make sure it
is bounded by the array length. In my case, it's returning something very
wrong because PCI isn't talking, or something like that.
But, even with functional PCI, you could get a value that for
whatever reason doesn't match the expected value (ie, buggy firmware).
I think you must sanity check those values that can crash the OS
with stray memory access, at least.

I tried just changing the #defines so that it was treated as V1,
but that did not help. I can try your suggestion when I get
a chance. I hope to have some time to do some more
twiddling on these NICs later today or early next week.

Actually, I have no idea what type of hardware this is. It was
suggested earlier to me that this AP had a v1 hardware in it, but
lspci shows this fairly unpromising thing, and the ath10k driver
appears to call 003c the V2 hardware....

These are work-arounds, but you should not let a bad piece of hardware/firmware crash
the entire OS just because you don't want to do sanity checking on the
values you get from the firmware. Perhaps there is a better fix for the
code above, but the warning splat should still provide incentive to get
it right, while not crashing the OS in the meantime.

Yes, I can do that.

That unknown header type looks scary. I'm starting to suspect even more
that you have a hw problem of some sort.
