[RFC PATCH 0/3] ath10k: export calibration data to user space

[RFC PATCH 0/3] ath10k: export calibration data to user space

[Kalle Valo]

Hi,

here's a small patchset exporting firmware calibration data to user space. This
makes it easier to debug various calibration data related problems. The first
patch is more or less a hack, not sure how to do that properly.

Please comment.

[RFC PATCH 1/3] ath10k: ignore diagnose pipes in ath10k_pci_ce_recv_data()/_send_done()

[Kalle Valo]

As ath10k_pci_diag_read_mem() uses polling to receive data from CE, the CE callbacks
have to ignore the pipe used for diagnose reads. Otherwise ath10k crashes due
to NULL dereference and polling reads timeout.

I think you can check it in a saner way: (ce_state == ar_pci->ce_diag).

Another approach is to prevent this from happening in the first place
by never unmasking the diagnostic window copy engine pipe in
ath10k_ce_enable_interrupts() and preventing
ath10k_ce_per_engine_service() from being called in
ath10k_pci_hif_send_complete_check() for the diagnostic ce pipe.

I like the latter approach and I'll try to implement that first. Thanks!

Hmm.. This can potentially collide with firmware crash as it uses CE
diag window as well.

I'm thinking entire bodies of diag_read_mem()/diag_writemem() should
be protected by ar_pci->ce_lock. It shouldn't be hard. As for
diag_read_mem():

 * s/ath10k_ce_rx_post_buf/__ath10k_ce_rx_post_buf/
 * s/ath10k_ce_send/ath10k_ce_send_nolock/
 * s/ath10k_ce_completed_send_next/ath10k_ce_completed_send_next_nolock/
 * s/ath10k_ce_completed_recv_next/ath10k_ce_completed_recv_next_nolock/

Note: Most _nolock stuff is static in ce.c so it needs to be changed
to be accessible in pci.c.

Yeah, I was worried something like that could happen.

Sounds like a good idea, I'll take a closer look and see how it works
out. On the downside this means that there will be one more function
call in hot path (I assume the compiler is able to inline the _nolock
static functions).

[RFC PATCH 3/3] ath10k: add cal_data debugfs file

Provide calibration data used by the firmware to user space via a debugfs file.
This makes it easier to debug calibration related problems.

This and rest of the fuction is missing 'ar' parameter. Obviously it's

Is this data that could be made human readable, or does it need to
be parsed by some private tool?

A private tool is needed for this.

How about having a generic r/w access to target memory via debugfs?
Userspace would deal with the extraction of the cal data. Or do you
want to make it easier for the user to provide the cal data without
any extra tools (and that sending entire unprocessed target memory
dump may introduce some privacy concerns)?

Yeah, Yanbo is working on that kind of generic interface.

This (to make it easier) is exactly my motivation here. In some of the
problems, especially once we add support to get calibration data from
host instead of just OTP, it's important to get easily access to the
calibration data. User only needs to do a simple cp operation and send
the file to us for further investigation.

Of course we could use the generic target memory interface for this, but
it's just more complicated for an unexperienced user and that's why I
think we should have this interface. But to be honest I'm not 100% sure
yet so other comments are more than welcome.

Different firmware may place this at different locations, so I definitely
like a well-defined interface to grab the requested data instead of having to
try to grab it out of a full ram dump.

Thanks,
