[BISECTED] ssh - Received disconnect from x.x.x.x: 2: Bad packet length 3149594624

[Ivaylo Dimitrov]

Since next-21012014 I started to receive "Received disconnect from 
x.x.x.x: 2: Bad packet length 3149594624" errors when trying to 
establish ssh session over wifi to my N900, running Maemo 5. I bisected 
and it turned out that commit dce5c9e35bc4085bd33eccdb8c9ec5a643507a14 
"ARM: 7928/1: kconfig: select HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS for CPUv6+ 
&& MMU" is the first bad. There is nothing related in either dmesg or 
syslog on the device. Reverting that commit on 3.14-rc1 make those 
errors disappear.

As my knowledge on how to deal with that stops here, advises on what to 
do next to find the real problem are appreciated.

Hi Ivo,

Thanks for bisecting this.

That's certainly unexpected. The n900 has (iirc) a Cortex-A8, which as an
ARMv7 core, can perform unaligned accesses to normal, cacheable memory in
hardware.

Can you provide your .config and/or any information about your network chip
please? There's a chance that the driver is doing something odd.

Cheers,

Will

Yep, Cortex-A8 and it has no problem to do unaligned memory accesses 
AFAIK. I suspect it is a driver issue, not CPU.

The chip is TI wl1251, you can find the config file here(actually this 
is the tree I am using to boot 3.14-rc1 on N900) - 
https://gitorious.org/linux-n900/freemangordons-linux-n900/source/1434dbd7fbc5ec257b6cd6c547689b79177d1937:arch/arm/configs/rx51_defconfig

Ok, so based on that config I think we can narrow down the unaligned use to
the following files:


# Crypto

crypto/memneq.c:#endif /* CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS */

Can you try hacking crypto/memneq.c so that it doesn't use
CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS please? That would at least point the
finger at net/mac80211/rx.c or similar.

Well, I am lazy so I hacked net/mac80211/rx.c first:

and that seems to fix the problem.

Well, we probably need a bit more to go on, because I doubt that this code
is to blame. More likely, the issue is in the caller.
Looking at drivers/net/wireless/ti/wl1251/rx.c:182

        /* The actual length doesn't include the target's alignment */
        skb->len = desc->length  - PLCP_HEADER_LENGTH;

        fc = (u16 *)skb->data;

        if ((*fc & IEEE80211_FCTL_STYPE) == IEEE80211_STYPE_BEACON)
                beacon = 1;

        wl1251_rx_status(wl, desc, &status, beacon);

        wl1251_debug(DEBUG_RX, "rx skb 0x%p: %d B %s", skb, skb->len,
                     beacon ? "beacon" : "");

        memcpy(IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb), &status, sizeof(status));
        ieee80211_rx_ni(wl->hw, skb);

I wonder whether that first line (with the comment about alignment) is
assuming some behaviour from the mac80211 layer.

You could try putting back the UNALIGNED_ACCESS in net/mac80211/rx.c and
commenting out the skb->len = desc->length  - PLCP_HEADER_LENGTH;  line
above.

Adding the original author (I think) and John Linville, since I'm well out
of my depth in this code!

This seems to fix the issue too, but I am afraid there is more to be 
done, as I see

Feb 14 18:33:46 Nokia-N900 kernel: [   88.599853] wlan0: authenticate 
with 00:23:cd:17:86:d0
Feb 14 18:33:46 Nokia-N900 kernel: [   88.781860] wlan0: send auth to

Feb 14 18:33:46 Nokia-N900 kernel: [   88.806243] wlan0: associating

00:23:cd:17:86:d0 (try 1/3)
Feb 14 18:33:46 Nokia-N900 kernel: [   88.826416] wlan0: RX AssocResp 
from 00:23:cd:17:86:d0 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=2)

spit in dmesg log. AFAIR this is the first time I see "associating with 
AP with corrupt probe response" in dmesg, no matter of the kernel 
version. Despite of that error message, wlan seems to work as it should, 
so far. I guess we need the driver's author saying on the issue.

Thanks,
Ivo

If Will does not respond, we should simply revert

Seriously Pavel, give me a break. I already responded pretty quickly to this
bug report, took a look at where the issue could be and proposed a fix
(which Ivaylo tested successfully). Now, wireless drivers are *waay* outside
my area of expertise, so I added some other folks to CC in the hope that
they could help turn my fix into something upstreamable. Meanwhile, Ivaylo
looks like he has something better than what I came up with already.

If you care about this driver, why don't you help us fix it rather than
making unhelpful suggestions from the sidelines?

I haven't touched wl1251 for years. You should send questions to
linux-wireless list and CC people who have worked on it recently.

[PATCH] wl1251: use skb_trim to make skb shorter

Can you pick this patch up please? It addresses a regression introduced in
the merge window (ARM started selecting HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS).
