Hello,

I'm on a kirkwood based armv5 system with an USB attached TP-Link TL-WN821N - Atheros AR7010+AR9287, [1]. the wlan is running in AP mode with hostapd-1.0. The kernel is v3.8.12 from debian (3.8-1-kirkwood #1 Debian 3.8.12-1).

The system crashes repeatedly after about one week with the following oops:

[633626.157249] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Has the problem been fixed already? I can update the kernel to a recent version if needed.

regards,

[633626.157249] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Has the problem been fixed already? I can update the kernel to a recent version if needed.

this oops was generated by skb_push:
" skb_push() will decrement the 'skb->data' pointer by the specified number of bytes. It will also increment 'skb->len' by that number of bytes as well. The caller must make sure there is enough head room for the push being performed. This condition is checked for by skb_push() and an assertion failure will trigger if this rule is violated."

hmm... theoretically driver should check the size of date before skb_push, but i do not see that other driver do this check. Interesting where this buffer was allocated.

PATCH 1/1 ath9k_htc: fix skb_under_panic error

PATCH 1/1 ath9k_htc: fix skb_under_panic error

Hi,

Quoted 2 lines · Oleksij Rempel

This error seems to be really rare, and we do not know real couse of it. But, in any case, we should check size of head before reducing it.

We had a similar issue in rt2x00 quite some time ago.

In general mac80211 should always reserve enough headroom as requested by the driver in hw->extra_tx_headroom. However, there is a chance that a frame is send to the driver again (see ieee80211_handle_filtered_frame). But if the frame payload (or head) was moved due to padding and was not restored before calling ieee80211_tx_status by the driver the second trip through the driver has reduced headroom and could lead to such an error.

Quickly checking ath9k_htc it seems as if ath9k_htc_tx adds some padding but ath9k_htc_tx_process does not remove the padding when passing the frame back to mac80211.

Subject: [PATCH] ath9k_htc: Restore skb headroom when returning skb to mac80211

ath9k_htc adds padding between the 802.11 header and the payload during TX by moving the header. When handing the frame back to mac80211 for TX status handling the header is not moved back into its original position. This can result in a too small skb headroom when entering ath9k_htc again (due to a soft retransmission for example) causing an skb_under_panic oops.

Fix this by moving the 802.11 header back into its original position before returning the frame to mac80211 as other drivers like rt2x00 or ath5k do.

I will do, however I'm not in range of that USB wireless adapter for about 1,5 weeks.

Helmut, thank you for patch!

i'll do regression test, but not week long test. So i probably won't reproduce this issue.

This error seems to be really rare, and we do not know real couse of it.
But, in any case, we should check size of head before reducing it.
Mind to try the (completely untested) patch against wireless-testing instead?

I will do, however I'm not in range of that USB wireless adapter for about 1,5 weeks.
Helmut, thank you for patch!
i'll do regression test, but not week long test. So i probably won't reproduce this issue.

I was running two stream netperf test for 2 hours without visible regressions.

With or without your pskb_expand_head patch applied?

whithout my patch, on to of wireless-testing master git. But i didn't had this problem before. So, may be this scenario was not used by me. Shouldn't we actually have this check from my patch, to avoid other oopses?

I'm running a kernel with a slightly modified version of that patch for 4 weeks without problems so far. I'll send a mail with that patch.
