ath9k: multicast don't work when: two STA (sta + p2p_client) + hwcrypt

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



STA iface:
ath: phy0: Set HW Key 0 (pairwise) vif: 2c:d0:5a:d3:f1:e9 sta:
f4:b7:e2:38:83:f3 - idx: 4
ath: phy0: Set HW Key 0 (group) vif: 2c:d0:5a:d3:f1:e9 sta:
(null) - idx: 1

P2P_CLIENT iface:
ath: phy0: Set HW Key 0 (pairwise) vif: 2e:d0:5a:d3:f1:e9 sta:
0c:8b:fd:1e:58:9f - idx: 68
ath: phy0: Set HW Key 0 (group) vif: 2e:d0:5a:d3:f1:e9 sta:
(null) - idx: 1

Seems we overwrite multicast hw key - both idx = 1

1) First patch I made:

                        gmac[0] |= 0x01;

Multicast works fine for STA/P2P_CLIENT but multicast rekeying don't
work correctly, while we have 2 multicast keys installed for the same
bssid (eg. idx 6, 68) after rekey. Seem hw choose always key with
lowest idx - hw decrypt mcast packects correctly every second rekey
:-)

BTW, this needs attention to be sure hw decrypt frames correctly - I
am checking RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED flag, while often HW send crypted
packets and mac80211 decrypt them correctly (every second rekey for
example). So, some mixture of hwcrypt and swcrypt is seen :)

2) works perfectly when ath9k loaded with nohwcrypt=1

Any ideas how to solve this correctly (is it possible with hwcrypt at all)?
