And it seems there is another bigger issue here since, as the firmware
document indicates, the vdev_stats_id field should be ignored unless the
vdev_stats_id_valid field is non-zero, but in ath12k_wmi_vdev_create()
we don't set vdev_stats_id_valid -- and we cannot set it since it isn't
even present in the ath12k struct wmi_vdev_create_cmd! And comparing our
struct to the firmware definition shows we have missing fields!!!
Everything is correct up to pdev_id, but then there is divergence:

our struct
struct wmi_vdev_create_cmd {
	__le32 tlv_header;
	__le32 vdev_id;
	__le32 vdev_type;
	__le32 vdev_subtype;
	struct ath12k_wmi_mac_addr_params vdev_macaddr;
	__le32 num_cfg_txrx_streams;
	__le32 pdev_id;
	__le32 vdev_stats_id;
} __packed;

firmware definition
typedef struct {
     A_UINT32 tlv_header; /** TLV tag and len; tag equals
WMITLV_TAG_STRUC_wmi_vdev_create_cmd_fixed_param */
     /** unique id identifying the VDEV, generated by the caller */
     A_UINT32 vdev_id;
     /** VDEV type (AP,STA,IBSS,MONITOR) */
     A_UINT32 vdev_type;
     /** VDEV subtype (P2PDEV, P2PCLI, P2PGO, BT3.0, BRIDGE) */
     A_UINT32 vdev_subtype;
     /** VDEV MAC address */
     wmi_mac_addr vdev_macaddr;
     /** Number of configured txrx streams */
     A_UINT32 num_cfg_txrx_streams;
     /**
      * pdev_id for identifying the MAC,
      * See macros starting with WMI_PDEV_ID_ for values.
      */
     A_UINT32 pdev_id;
     /** control flags for this vdev (DEPRECATED)
      * Use @mbss_capability_flags in vdev start instead.
      */
     A_UINT32 flags;
     /**  vdevid of transmitted AP (mbssid case) (DEPRECATED)
      * Use @vdevid_trans in vdev start instead.
      */
     A_UINT32 vdevid_trans;
     /* vdev_stats_id_valid indicates whether vdev_stats_id is valid */
     A_UINT32 vdev_stats_id_valid;
     /**
      * vdev_stats_id indicates the ID for the REO Rx stats collection
      * For Beryllium: 0-47 is the valid range and >=48 is invalid

      */
     A_UINT32 vdev_stats_id;

  *   wmi_vdev_create_mlo_params mlo_params[0,1];

  *       if the vdev is not MLO the array length should be 0.
  */
} wmi_vdev_create_cmd_fixed_param;

(note the deprecated fields must still have their space allocated in the
data structure)

So currently when host is writing to vdev_stats_id firmware will
interpret this as the deprecated flags

So it seems like we also need to fix the WMI struct to:
struct wmi_vdev_create_cmd {
	__le32 tlv_header;
	__le32 vdev_id;
	__le32 vdev_type;
	__le32 vdev_subtype;
	struct ath12k_wmi_mac_addr_params vdev_macaddr;
	__le32 num_cfg_txrx_streams;
	__le32 pdev_id;
	__le32 flags; /* deprecated */
	__le32 vdevid_trans; /* deprecated */
	__le32 vdev_stats_id_valid;
	__le32 vdev_stats_id;
} __packed;

Sigh. I now realize that patch 7/11 in the series fixes this, and hence
why this 10/11 patch needs to be part of the series (or the 7/11 and
10/11 patches should be separated from the P2P feature).


They cannot be separated from the P2P feature.
Without patch 7/11, P2P won't run properly due to firmware crash.



Let me re-review the entire series instead of just reviewing the 7/11
patch without the associated context.

Maybe i need to move patch 10/11 to 8/11, make them closer?



Must be Friday.
