Good point. The ath_roc_complete() can be called with abort=true from ath9k_cancel_pending_offchannel() as well. I guess ath_roc_complete() needs a "reason" argument (instead of "abort") with: expired, aborted, cancelled values. ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired() should be called whenever reason != cancelled. By the way - is ath_roc_complete() lock protected properly? It looks like it isn't from a quick glance. Neither sdata lock nor local->mtx can be implied in all contexts and sc->mutex isn't always held while it's called, hmm.. or am I missing something? > Also the we are clearing roc_vif independent of abort, so the warning > indicates that roc_complete has not come from FW, may be we should > understand that first? There's no FW in ath9k. The problem is the following sequence: 1. mac80211 requests roc A 2. mac80211 cancels roc A a. ath9k calls expired() and hw_roc_done work is scheduled 3. mac80211 requests roc B 4. mac80211 starts to process the scheduled hw_roc_done 5. mac80211 thinks roc B has expired 6. mac80211 requests roc C 7. ath9k WARN_ON is hit There's a race between (3) and (4). Depending on circumstances (3) and (4) may be reordered so the current code doesn't fail all the time. Michał -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in
