[Cerowrt-devel] Errors in dmesg on latest cero

I'm getting some weird errors in dmesg on my latest cero(-based) build:

[75667.492187] ath: phy0: Failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x004!
[75667.574218] ath: phy0: Failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x004!
[75667.660156] ath: phy0: Failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x004!
[75667.742187] ath: phy0: Failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x004!
[75667.828125] ath: phy0: Failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x004!
[78593.152343] ath: phy0: Failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x004!
[78600.367187] ath: phy0: Failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x004!

and some IPv6 checksum failures:

[127948.988281] ICMPv6 checksum failed [xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:0015:0000:0000:0000:0001 > xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:0015:0000:0000:0000:0002]

The addresses are the 6in4 tunnel endpoints.

I've also seen babeld lose connectivity (restarting it helped).


Anything I can do about these, or are they just noise?

Something is definitely dodgy with the wireless. I can only see the
different networks intermittently, and when I try to connect, I get this
in the logs:

On a second try it succeeds, however I still can't connect to the 2.4ghz

You are aware of the bssid trick right?

I have seen many errors like that off and on over the years. Felix has
put in many a patch in the driver to keep bad things from happening
like that.

I think this is the background queue acting up on you. I note that the
cerowrt qlen_bk is 12 packets. Perhaps there's an issue in tracking
that correctly in the latest openwrt?

I too am seeing it under heavy load. I have not been seeing it on
boxes that I'm killing multi-queue wifi on (which really seems to be a
huge win regardless). This is not a "fix":

#!/bin/sh

ipt() {
iptables $*
ip6tables $*
}

#iptables doesn't support an inverted match
#iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m dscp ! --dscp-class BE -j DSCP --set-dscp
0
ipt -t mangle -N FIX_TOS
ipt -t mangle -A FIX_TOS -m dscp --dscp-class BE -j ACCEPT
ipt -t mangle -A FIX_TOS -j DSCP --set-dscp 0
ipt -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j FIX_TOS

Dunno. Refresh my memory?

It seems that after a while, clients will have trouble connecting to
wifi (to the point that my roomies have been pulling random network
cables out of the wall in an attempt to get online :P); a reboot of the
router fixes it.
