Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: channel change fix
|
|
|
|
ath5k updates the channel pointer and after that it stops the Rx logic
|
|
and apply channel to HW. In case of channel switch, such sequence
|
|
creates a small window when a frame, which is received on the old
|
|
channel is considered as a frame received on the new one.
|
|
|
|
The most notable consequence of this situation occurs during the switch
|
|
from 2 GHz band (CCK+OFDM) to the 5GHz band (OFDM-only). Frame received
|
|
with CCK rate, e.g. beacon received at the 1mbps, causes the following
|
|
warning:
|
|
|
|
WARNING: at ath5k/base.c:589 ath5k_tasklet_rx+0x318/0x6ec [ath5k]()
|
|
invalid hw_rix: 1a

|
|
The easiest way to reproduce this warning is to run scan with dualband
|
|
NIC in noisy environments, when the channel 11 runs multiple APs. In my
|
|
tests if the APs num >= 12, the warning appears in the first few
|
|
seconds of scanning.
|
|
|
|
In order to fix this, the Rx disable code moved to a higher level and
|
|
placed before the channel pointer update. This is also makes the code a
|
|
bit more symmetrical, since we disable and enable the Rx in the same
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
In fact, at the pointer update time new frames should not appear,
|
|
because interrupt generation at this point should already be disabled.
|
|
The next patch should address this issue.
