Lev,

there you can have only three types to choose:

.. now, see how it's kicking you off? The transmit queue is filled
_and_ the station is asleep. We're still trying to send it stupid
amounts of data even though we can't get to the sleeping station.

So:


Try setting  wpa_group_rekey in hostapd.conf to something low, like
say 15 seconds.

See if that immediately triggers things to go pear-shaped.

Then, if it does, try running hostapd in debug mode in the foreground:

# hostapd -d -d /etc/hostapd.conf 21 | tee /tmp/hostapd.log

.. and then watch what goes on with rekeying as it gets booted off.

I bet that it's missing the group rekey notification from the remote
station, and it's being disconnected.

If that's the case - great! We've fixed the hardware bug. You'll be a
perfect test candidate for my power-save queue handling changes, which
look to address this saxact problem.

(yay! I hope we've fixed the TX queue hangs!)

Re: New hardware, old problem: stuck beacon when here is WiFi traffic

2013-05-09 Thread Adrian Chadd
Ah. So these non aggregate tests are showing a problem - there shouldn't be 500 
frames in the txq. Ever. That's just plain dumb.

Because of this, the logic I introduced to limit queue depth for a node isn't 
working - the node software queue depth never grows past a handful. They're 
immediately queued to the hardware.

I'll go and 'fix' the queue handling for non aggregate traffic sometime in the 
next few days. I'll modify it so I only queue up to some threshold of non 
aggregate frames into the hardware queue.

Thanks,


Adrian

2013-05-01 Thread Adrian Chadd
I'm trying to plan out how to potentially address this.

I don't know whether it'll be enough to just set TXE to 1 for that
queue and restart TX that way. I was hoping you'd post some more
results with aggregate frames, but it doesn't seem to be happening.

I'm hoping I don't have to stop the DMA for that queue and re-start it
again. That's going to be relatively error-prone.

ath9k and the reference driver have a bunch of workarounds to notice a
stalled TX queue and restart things. I'm not really happy doing that;
I'd rather try and fix the problem(s) before 10.0.

 AC Any follow-up with the latest stuff in -HEAD? I'd like to see if the
 AC hardware queue is behaving how I think it is.
   Sorry, was busy yesterday.
   Sources: r250041, TDMA is enabled in kernel config.

Ok.

   Warm-up:  120  seconds  of  TCP, throughput osculate between 50 and
   100Mbit/, several BAR resets, no hangs.

Ok. But did it negotiate A-MPDU?

   Test: 600 seconds of UDP. Throughput is 20Mbit/s. Hang on ~327s.
   traffic generator stopped, single forced bstuck helps.

   Log attached.


  Please, note: low throughput for UDP on these revisions. It was not
  so on older revisions, before all this additional debug stuff was
  added, latest good I tried was something like r249333, and I don't
  remember about r249767 (but I could try, firmware image is not
  removed, and I don't have images between r249333 and r249333).

It's fine. We'll worry about aggregation later.

So here we go:

Apr 30 12:21:26 gateway kernel: ath0: ath_stoptxdma: tx queue [9]
0xd8c3000, link 0
Apr 30 12:21:26 gateway kernel: ath0: ath_tx_stopdma: tx queue [0] 0,
active=0, hwpending=0, flags 0x, link 0
Apr 30 12:21:26 gateway kernel: ath0: ath_tx_stopdma: tx queue [1]
0xc720ed00, active=0, hwpending=0, flags 0x, link 0
Apr 30 12:21:26 gateway kernel: ath0: ath_tx_stopdma: tx queue [2] 0,
active=0, hwpending=0, flags 0x, link 0
Apr 30 12:21:26 gateway kernel: ath0: ath_tx_stopdma: tx queue [3]
0xd8bec00, active=0, hwpending=0, flags 0x, link 0
Apr 30 12:21:26 gateway kernel: ath0: ath_tx_stopdma: tx queue [8]
0xc720d2c0, active=0, hwpending=0, flags 0x, link 0

Notice how the hardware queue isn't active at all. There's frames in
the TXQ and the hardware points to the next frame to transmit (but you
didn't provide the whole list of frames that were in the TXQ, so I'm
going on what it said before.)

Hm..

2013-04-30 Thread Adrian Chadd
Well, right now I'm trying to figure out whether there's a race
condition in setting up / enabling the TX queue that I haven't yet
seen before, or whether we've hit another one of those corner case
bugs in the TX queue handling.

I may add in a hack to the completion code that checks if the queue
isn't active and if it isn't (but there's frames in the TX queue), it
restarts TX.

Right. That's likely because 11n aggregation wasn't enabled. I don't know why.

   Log with dev.ath.0.debug=0x90020 attached (sudo messages are left as
  time marks).

Cool, thanks.

It's odd. The descriptor list(s) look fine - ie, the descriptors
aren't out of order or anything. (Ie, the descriptor and link pointers
line up with the order that the ath_buf's are in the TXQ.)

And the descriptors in your particular setup aren't chained into
multi-descriptor lists, they're one descriptor per frame. There used
to be bugs with my 11n TX code and which ath_buf to check the status
of in a list of ath_bufs, but this last test is with no aggregation.
So that's not a problem.

The next step is seeing whether the hardware queue is actually just
plain stuck, or whether it's idle. If it's idle, it may just be
waiting for another call to ath_hal_txstart() or whatever the call is
to re-trigger it. The only reason it would be idle like that though is
if it hit the end of the descriptor list at about the same time we
appended a frame to the list. However, every time we append a frame to
the hardware queue, we also call ath_hal_txstart() to re-kick TX.

There's some race condition hack that Sam threw in that gets enabled
only if you compile things with TDMA support enabled. Would you mind
compiling in TDMA support (add options IEEE80211_SUPPORT_TDMA) to your
kernel config and rebuild? I'd like to see if that TX queue workaround
is effective at helping us out here.

Does this happen with tcp iperf? or only udp iperf?

So the descriptors are mostly completed. I really need to hack the
reset path to continue printing everything in the queue, not just the
frames that were completed.

But the TXQ[1] head pointer is pointing to the wrong descriptor. It's
pointing to a descriptor that's finished, whose next descriptor is
also finished. That makes no sense.

I'll have to add some more debugging to -HEAD so to dump out the full
set of TX descriptors in the queue. That hopefully will shed some
light here.

 Hello, Freebsd-wireless.

  Now my router/AP is new hardware in new case, and it is not
 overheating for sure.
  AP's WiFi card is Ubiquity SR-71E MiniPCIe card. Client is Intel
 Advanced-N card. When AP sends stable stream of data (like RDesktop
 connection from WiFi client to computer on wired network), AP gives
 big pauses sometime, with ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count
 4) message. These pauses long enough to RDesktop client notice them
 and try to reconnect. But no client dissociation occurs.

   Here is card:

 ath0: Atheros 9280 mem 0xd000-0xd000 irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci3
 ath0: [HT] enabling HT modes
 ath0: [HT] 1 stream STBC receive enabled
 ath0: [HT] 1 stream STBC transmit enabled

 ath0: 2GHz radio: 0x; 5GHz radio: 0x00c0

  Here is AP settings:

 ifconfig ath0

  I have old router with AR9220 card, which I could use as spectrum
 analyzer, if I'm giving proper instructions how to setup in in such
 way :)

 AP or client or both? Is it enough to disable HT40 channels on
client?

Falling back to a ht:20- channel did considerably lower the number of stuck
beacon messages on my AR9220. It still periodically hangs though (is this
why ``baseband hangs?'' is listed in the wiki?).

Well, partially.

I'm seeing stuck beacons in my testing with my modified AP power save
code running, so it's also possible that there's something odd going
on with the hardware programming that's locking things up. Luckily I
can easy reproduce it, so I'm going to dig into it a bit more and see
what I find.
