ieee80211_report_used_skb of mac80211 use the frame_control of ieee80211_hdr in sk_buff and indicate it to another function ieee80211_mgd_conn_tx_status, then it queue work ieee80211_sta_work, but ieee80211_is_auth(fc) in ieee80211_sta_work check fail when the authentication has transmitted by ath10k. When the ath10k report it with HTT_TX_COMPL_STATE_DISCARD, it will be set without flag IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK, then mac80211 should try the next authentication immeditely, but in fact mac80211 wait 1 second for it, the reason is ieee80211_is_auth(fc) in ieee80211_sta_work check fail for the sk_buff which is not restored, the data of sk_buff is not the begin of ieee80211_hdr, in fact it is the begin of htt_cmd_hdr. dmesg without this patch, it wait 1 second for the next retry when ath10k report without IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK for authentication: [ 6973.883116] wlan0: send auth to 5e:6f:2b:0d:fb:d7 (try 1/3) [ 6974.705471] wlan0: send auth to 5e:6f:2b:0d:fb:d7 (try 2/3) [ 6975.712962] wlan0: send auth to 5e:6f:2b:0d:fb:d7 (try 3/3) Restore the sk_buff make mac8011 retry the next authentication immeditely which meet logic of mac80211. dmesg with this patch, it retry the next immeditely when ath10k report without IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK for authentication: [ 216.734813] wlan0: send auth to 5e:6f:2b:0d:fb:d7 (try 1/3) [ 216.739914] wlan0: send auth to 5e:6f:2b:0d:fb:d7 (try 2/3) [ 216.745874] wlan0: send auth to 5e:6f:2b:0d:fb:d7 (try 3/3) Tested-on: QCA6174 hw3.2 SDIO WLAN.RMH.4.4.1-00049 Signed-off-by: Wen Gong <wgong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt_tx.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt_tx.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt_tx.c index 9a109840a4c9..44c617834c56 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt_tx.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt_tx.c @@ -573,6 +573,8 @@ void ath10k_htt_htc_tx_complete(struct ath10k *ar, struct sk_buff *skb) desc_hdr = (struct htt_data_tx_desc *) (skb->data + sizeof(*htt_hdr)); flags1 = __le16_to_cpu(desc_hdr->flags1); + skb_pull(skb, sizeof(struct htt_cmd_hdr)); + skb_pull(skb, sizeof(struct htt_data_tx_desc)); } } -- 2.27.0
