Hi,

When I transfer large files at high speed(rsync to my x86 router,
locally, not trough the Internet) I get:
ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available

And I can't send anymore data.

/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy*/queues is 
00: 0x00000000/0
01: 0x00000000/0
02: 0x00000000/0
03: 0x00000000/0
In normal conditions.

But when I can't send anymore data I've that:
00: 0x00000000/0
01: 0x00000000/0
02: 0x00000001/0
03: 0x00000000/0
or that:
00: 0x00000000/0
01: 0x00000000/0
02: 0x00000001/333
03: 0x00000000/0


Here's my irc conversation in #linux-wireless on Freeenode about that
issue:

Feb 22 16:28:38 <GNUtoo|laptop>	hi,
Feb 22 16:29:23 <GNUtoo|laptop>	when I rsync to my router at high speed
over wifi, huge amount of data, I've that:
Feb 22 16:29:24 <GNUtoo|laptop>	ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available
Feb 22 16:29:27 <GNUtoo|laptop>	and wifi breaks
Feb 22 16:29:30 <GNUtoo|laptop>	I've to reconnect
Feb 22 16:29:40 <GNUtoo|laptop>	should I try setting a lower MTU?
Feb 22 16:29:43 <GNUtoo|laptop>	what should I try?
Feb 22 16:29:53 <GNUtoo|laptop>	and why isn't there any more buffer
space?
Feb 22 16:31:57 <johill>	sounds like a queue management bug
Feb 22 16:32:06 <johill>	with packets stuck somewhere
Feb 22 16:32:09 <johill>	what driver?
Feb 22 16:34:04 *	an-t (~ant@srv1.gnpx.net) has joined #linux-wireless
Feb 22 16:34:42 <GNUtoo|laptop>	ath9k
Feb 22 16:34:51 <GNUtoo|laptop>	on 2.6.37-020637-generic
Feb 22 16:34:57 <GNUtoo|laptop>	I think that's mainline
Feb 22 16:35:01 <GNUtoo|laptop>	let me check
Feb 22 16:35:02 <johill>	hm, dunno
Feb 22 16:35:09 <johill>	there were some queue mgmt things there
Feb 22 16:35:12 <johill>	don't really konw
Feb 22 16:35:49 <Chainsaw>	GNUtoo|laptop: Probably useful to share your
driver DDoS on linux-wireless; some idea of how many files & what size.
Feb 22 16:36:10 <GNUtoo|laptop>	basically what I do is that:
Feb 22 16:36:20 <GNUtoo|laptop>	I use openembedded to cross-compile
files
Feb 22 16:36:25 <GNUtoo|laptop>	and sync the result with my router

hostapd
Feb 22 16:36:52 <GNUtoo|laptop>
cd /home/gnutoo/embedded/oe/oetmps/eee701/deploy/glibc

router:/var/www/gnutoo.homelinux.org/openembedded/eee701
Feb 22 16:37:05 <GNUtoo|laptop>	is the script I use to sync it
Feb 22 16:37:37 <johill>	I bet when this happens you never get a ping
pcket through
Feb 22 16:38:10 <johill>	and /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy*/queues is
non-zero
Feb 22 16:38:18 <johill>	the info from that file would be useful
Feb 22 16:38:37 <GNUtoo|laptop>	ok I was pastebining the file sizes
Feb 22 16:38:41 <GNUtoo|laptop>	as there are a lot of files....
Feb 22 16:39:06 <GNUtoo|laptop>	ok I'll try to reproduce
Feb 22 16:39:13 <GNUtoo|laptop>	tough that will disconnect me from irc
Feb 22 16:40:54 <johill>	I bet it'll be 0x0001/n
Feb 22 16:40:56 <johill>	n > 0
Feb 22 16:42:16 <GNUtoo|laptop>	ping also increase during the huge
transfer
Feb 22 16:42:30 <johill>	that's "bufferbloat" but expected now
Feb 22 16:42:35 <GNUtoo|laptop>	ok
Feb 22 16:42:49 <GNUtoo|laptop>	I learned what bufferbloat was not so
long ago

Feb 22 16:44:30 <GNUtoo|laptop>	it starts with
Feb 22 16:44:32 <GNUtoo|laptop>	02: 0x00000001/0
Feb 22 16:44:41 <GNUtoo|laptop>	and then increase to
Feb 22 16:44:47 <GNUtoo|laptop>	02: 0x00000001/333
Feb 22 16:44:50 <GNUtoo|laptop>	the reset is 0
Feb 22 16:45:02 <johill>	yeah
Feb 22 16:45:06 <johill>	as expected
Feb 22 16:45:08 <GNUtoo|laptop>	ok
Feb 22 16:45:12 <GNUtoo|laptop>	what's that exactly?
Feb 22 16:45:19 <johill>	the reason why the queue is stopped
Feb 22 16:45:23 <johill>	and the number of packets in the queue
Feb 22 16:45:24 <GNUtoo|laptop>	oh nice
Feb 22 16:45:32 <johill>	0x000 == not stopped
Feb 22 16:45:35 <GNUtoo|laptop>	ok
Feb 22 16:45:39 <GNUtoo|laptop>	and what's the reason?
Feb 22 16:45:41 <johill>	 /0 = no packets
Feb 22 16:45:54 <johill>	BIT(0) == driver asked for queue to be stopped
Feb 22 16:46:03 <johill>	(IEEE80211_QUEUE_STOP_REASON_DRIVER)
Feb 22 16:46:08 <GNUtoo|laptop>	ok
Feb 22 16:46:11 <johill>	(net/mac80211/ieee80211_i.h)
Feb 22 16:46:15 <johill>	so driver's fault
Feb 22 16:46:28 <GNUtoo|laptop>	dmesg shows nothing tough
Feb 22 16:46:37 <GNUtoo|laptop>	only normal stuff
Feb 22 16:46:38 <johill>	yeah not surprising either
Feb 22 16:46:45 <GNUtoo|laptop>	ah debugfs?
Feb 22 16:46:47 <johill>	queue start/stop happens often enough, no
logging for it
Feb 22 16:46:50 <GNUtoo|laptop>	or something like that should be used
Feb 22 16:46:50 <GNUtoo|laptop>	ok
Feb 22 16:49:45 <GNUtoo|laptop>	what should I do now?
Feb 22 16:50:10 <johill>	report a bug on ath9k

Denis.

As Johannes has pointed out it is an issue with the driver and already addressed
in wireless-testing (commit 92460412367c00e97f99babdb898d0930ce604fc). I have
ported this commit to 2.6.37 kernel for your reference.. and I believe we
should push this patch down to stable kernel also as running with NM can cause
this issue.

Hi Denis,
             please try with the backported fix Senthil had provided
for your kernel. from the debug messages I could see that the
txq-depth has reached the 'maximum' of 123 for some reason and this
might stop the queue.

Also you mentioned about power management debug stuff, if the tx is
going we should hardly get it(unless the traffic stalls). if you want
all the latest fixes you can try with latest wireless-testing  or
compat-wireless
