From: Michal Kazior Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2014 08:18:02 +0000 (+0300) Subject: ath10k: workaround fw beaconing bug X-Git-Tag: v3.19-rc1~118^2~234^2~71^2~44 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=64badcb6d645;p=karo-tx-linux.git ath10k: workaround fw beaconing bug Some firmware revisions don't wait for beacon tx completion before sending another SWBA event. This could lead to hardware using old (freed) beacon data in some cases, e.g. tx credit starvation combined with missed TBTT. This is very very rare. On non-IOMMU-enabled hosts this could be a possible security issue because hw could beacon some random data on the air. On IOMMU-enabled hosts DMAR faults would occur in most cases and target device would crash. Since there are no beacon tx completions (implicit nor explicit) propagated to host the only workaround for this is to allocate a DMA-coherent buffer for a lifetime of a vif and use it for all beacon tx commands. Worst case for this approach is some beacons may become corrupted, e.g. garbled IEs or out-of-date TIM bitmap. Keep the original beacon-related code as-is in case future firmware revisions solve this problem so that the old path can be easily re-enabled with a fw_feature flag.
