Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix TXQ AC confusion
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2021 21:05:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210323210500.bf4d50afea4a.I136ffde910486301f8818f5442e3c9bf8670a9c4@changeid> (raw)
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Normally, TXQs have
txq->tid = tid;
txq->ac = ieee80211_ac_from_tid(tid);
However, the special management TXQ actually has
txq->tid = IEEE80211_NUM_TIDS; // 16
txq->ac = IEEE80211_AC_VO;
This makes sense, but ieee80211_ac_from_tid(16) is the same
as ieee80211_ac_from_tid(0) which is just IEEE80211_AC_BE.
Now, normally this is fine. However, if the netdev queues
were stopped, then the code in ieee80211_tx_dequeue() will
propagate the stop from the interface (vif->txqs_stopped[])
if the AC 2 (ieee80211_ac_from_tid(txq->tid)) is marked as
stopped. On wake, however, __ieee80211_wake_txqs() will wake
the TXQ if AC 0 (txq->ac) is woken up.
If a driver stops all queues with ieee80211_stop_tx_queues()
and then wakes them again with ieee80211_wake_tx_queues(),
the ieee80211_wake_txqs() tasklet will run to resync queue
and TXQ state. If all queues were woken, then what'll happen
is that _ieee80211_wake_txqs() will run in order of HW queues
0-3, typically (and certainly for iwlwifi) corresponding to
ACs 0-3, so it'll call __ieee80211_wake_txqs() for each AC in
order 0-3.
When __ieee80211_wake_txqs() is called for AC 0 (VO) that'll
wake up the management TXQ (remember its tid is 16), and the
driver's wake_tx_queue() will be called. That tries to get a
frame, which will immediately *stop* the TXQ again, because
now we check against AC 2, and AC 2 hasn't yet been marked as
woken up again in sdata->vif.txqs_stopped[] since we're only
in the __ieee80211_wake_txqs() call for AC 0.
Thus, the management TXQ will never be started again.
Fix this by checking txq->ac directly instead of calculating
the AC as ieee80211_ac_from_tid(txq->tid).
