wifi: ath12k: fix EHT TX MCS limitation due to wrong 20 MHz-only parsing

2026-06-01T15:54:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit 60fb2cf51e77bb1c0261160b4be44209d68956b1 ] When connecting to an AP configured for EHT 20 MHz with a full EHT MCS/NSS map (supporting MCS 0-13) Supported EHT-MCS and NSS Set EHT-MCS Map (BW <= 80MHz): 0x444444 .... .... .... .... .... 0100 = Rx Max Nss That Supports EHT-MCS 0-9: 4 .... .... .... .... 0100 .... = Tx Max Nss That Supports EHT-MCS 0-9: 4 .... .... .... 0100 .... .... = Rx Max Nss That Supports EHT-MCS 10-11: 4 .... .... 0100 .... .... .... = Tx Max Nss That Supports EHT-MCS 10-11: 4 .... 0100 .... .... .... .... = Rx Max Nss That Supports EHT-MCS 12-13: 4 0100 .... .... .... .... .... = Tx Max Nss That Supports EHT-MCS 12-13: 4 TX throughput is observed to be significantly lower than expected. Investigation shows that TX rates are limited to EHT MCS 11, even though the AP advertises support for EHT MCS 12/13. The root cause is an incorrect parsing of the Supported EHT-MCS and NSS Set element in ath12k_peer_assoc_h_eht(). IEEE Std 802.11be-2024 Figure 9-1074as describes the format for 20 MHz-Only Non-AP STAs. IEEE Std 802.11be-2024 Figure 9-1074at describes the format for all other AP and non-AP STAs. Currently the first format is parsed when the peer advertises no wider HE channel width support, without considering whether it is an AP or a non-AP STA. This is incorrect: the peer AP's capabilities must be parsed using Figure 9-1074at even when it operates on 20 MHz only. Parsing it as Figure 9-1074as causes rx_tx_mcs13_max_nss to be interpreted as zero, which is then passed to firmware, leading firmware to assume the peer does not support MCS 13 and to limit TX rates at MCS 11. Fix this by parsing the Figure 9-1074as format only when the peer is a 20 MHz-Only non-AP STA, i.e. when the local interface operates as AP or mesh point.

wifi: ath11k: fix peer resolution on rx path when peer_id=0

2026-06-01T15:54:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2a2451a34afdf563b3102d36a4b6cf335cf813e2 ] It has been observed that on certain chipsets a peer can be assigned peer_id=0. For reception of non-aggregated MPDUs this is fine as ath11k_dp_rx_h_find_peer() has a fallback case where it locates the peer based upon the source MAC address. On an aggregated link, the mpdu_start header is only populated by hardware on the first sub-MSDU. This causes the peer resolution to be skipped for the subsequent MSDUs and the encryption type of these frames to be set to an incorrect value, resulting in these MSDUs being dropped by ieee80211. ath11k_pci 0000:03:00.0: data rx skb 000000002f4b704d len 1534 peer xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 0 ucast sn 3063 he160 rate_idx 9 vht_nss 2 freq 5240 band 1 flag 0x40d1a fcs-err 0 mic-err 0 amsdu-more 0 peer_id 0 first_msdu 1 last_msdu 0 ath11k_pci 0000:03:00.0: data rx skb 0000000038acd580 len 1534 peer (null) 0 ucast sn 3063 he160 rate_idx 9 vht_nss 2 freq 5240 band 1 flag 0x40d00 fcs-err 0 mic-err 0 amsdu-more 0 peer_id 0 first_msdu 0 last_msdu 1 Remove the null peer_id checks in ath11k_dp_rx_h_find_peer() and ath11k_hal_rx_parse_mon_status_tlv(), allowing peers with an assigned ID of 0 to be resolved.

wifi: ath10k: skip WMI and beacon transmission when device is wedged

2026-06-01T15:54:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 54a5b38e4396530e5b2f12b54d3844e860ab6784 ] In ath10k_wmi_cmd_send(), the current code detects ATH10K_STATE_WEDGED and sets ret to -ESHUTDOWN, but still proceeds to transmit pending beacons and calls ath10k_wmi_cmd_send_nowait(). This can lead to incorrect behavior, as WMI commands and beacons are still sent after the device has been marked as wedged, and the original -ESHUTDOWN return value may be overwritten by the result of the send path. The wedged state indicates the hardware is already unreliable, and no further interaction with firmware is expected or meaningful in this state. Fix this by skipping beacon transmission and the WMI send path entirely once ATH10K_STATE_WEDGED is detected, ensuring consistent return values and avoiding unnecessary firmware interaction.

wifi: ath11k: clear shared SRNG pointer state on restart

2026-06-01T15:54:25+00:00

commit f51e4b3b5574ad8cb5b16b11f8a1452147ece87a upstream. LMAC rings reuse the shared rdp/wrp pointer buffers without going through the normal SRNG hw-init path that zeros non-LMAC ring pointers. After restart, ath11k_hal_srng_clear() can therefore hand stale hp/tp state from the previous firmware instance back to the new one. Clear the shared pointer buffers while keeping the allocations in place so restart still avoids reallocating SRNG DMA memory, but starts with fresh ring-pointer state.

wifi: ath10k: fix station lookup failure during disconnect

2026-05-23T11:08:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9a34a59c6086ae731a06b3e61b0951feef758648 ] Recent commit [1] moved station statistics collection to an earlier stage of the disconnect flow. With this change in place, ath10k fails to resolve the station entry when handling a peer stats event triggered during disconnect, resulting in log messages such as: wlp58s0: deauthenticating from 74:1a:e0:e7:b4:c8 by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING) ath10k_pci 0000:3a:00.0: not found station for peer stats ath10k_pci 0000:3a:00.0: failed to parse stats info tlv: -22 The failure occurs because ath10k relies on ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() for station lookup. That function uses local->sta_hash, but by the time the peer stats request is triggered during disconnect, mac80211 has already removed the station from that hash table, leading to lookup failure. Before commit [1], this issue was not visible because the transition from IEEE80211_STA_NONE to IEEE80211_STA_NOTEXIST prevented ath10k from sending a peer stats request at all: ath10k_mac_sta_get_peer_stats_info() would fail early to find the peer and skip requesting statistics. Fix this by switching the lookup path to ath10k_peer_find(), which queries ath10k's internal peer table. At the point where the firmware emits the peer stats event, the peer entry is still present in the driver's list, ensuring lookup succeeds.

wifi: ath12k: Fix legacy rate mapping for monitor mode capture

2026-05-23T11:08:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 616217a989e09c55398db8555e5ef0c64504cb66 ] The current implementation incorrectly reports legacy CCK and OFDM rates in monitor mode radiotap headers. The rate field displays wrong values, for example showing 11 Mbps when the actual rate is 1 Mbps. This occurs because the HAL layer uses a unified enum for both CCK and OFDM rates without distinguishing between long/short preamble variants and proper rate mapping to hardware rate indices. The root cause is threefold: 1. The hal_rx_legacy_rate enum conflates CCK and OFDM rates into a single enumeration, making it impossible to differentiate between 802.11b CCK rates (with long/short preamble variants) and 802.11a/g OFDM rates. 2. The L-SIG-B parsing function maps hardware rate values to the wrong enum values. For CCK rates, it incorrectly combines long and short preamble cases (e.g., cases 2 and 5 both map to 2 Mbps), losing preamble information critical for proper rate identification. 3. The mac layer's rate-to-index conversion function does not properly handle the precedence between long preamble, short preamble, and OFDM rates when matching hardware rate values. Split the hal_rx_legacy_rate enum into two separate enumerations: hal_rx_legacy_rate for CCK rates with explicit long preamble (LP) and short preamble (SP) variants, and hal_rx_legacy_rates_ofdm for OFDM rates. This separation allows proper identification of rate types and preamble modes. Introduce a new mapping ath12k_wifi7_hal_mon_map_legacy_rate_to_hw_rate() that converts HAL CCK rate enums to hardware rate indices defined in ath12k_hw_rate_cck. This ensures the rate field in ppdu_info contains the correct hardware rate index that matches the mac layer's expectations. Update the L-SIG-B parsing to map each hardware rate value (1-7) to its corresponding CCK rate enum with proper preamble designation: - Cases 1-4: Long preamble (1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbps) - Cases 5-7: Short preamble (2, 5.5, 11 Mbps) Update the L-SIG-A parsing to use the new OFDM-specific enum values, maintaining the existing rate mapping for 802.11a/g OFDM rates. Refactor the mac layer's ath12k_mac_hw_rate_to_idx() function to implement proper matching precedence: 1. First match OFDM rates using the IEEE80211_RATE_MANDATORY_A flag 2. Then match CCK short preamble rates 3. Finally match CCK long preamble rates as fallback Add helper macros ATH12K_MAC_RATE_A_M and ATH12K_MAC_RATE_B to improve readability of the rate table initialization and ensure the mandatory flag is set for OFDM rates. This fix ensures monitor mode captures display accurate rate information in the radiotap header, correctly distinguishing between 1 Mbps and 11 Mbps, and properly identifying preamble types for CCK rates.

wifi: ath12k: account TX stats only when ACK/BA status is present

[ Upstream commit 1635ecc61a24597f893d057d004051a535c1c643 ] The fields tx_retry_failed, tx_retry_count, and tx_duration are currently updated outside the HTT_PPDU_STATS_TAG_USR_COMPLTN_ACK_BA_STATUS flag check. In certain scenarios, firmware delivers multiple PPDU statistics for the same PPDU, first without BA/ACK information, and later with BA/ACK status once it becomes available. As the same PPDU is processed again, these counters are updated a second time, resulting in duplicate TX statistics. To address this, move the accounting of tx_retry_failed and tx_retry_count under the ACK/BA status flag check, and similarly gate tx_duration on the same path. This ensures that each PPDU contributes to these counters exactly once, avoids double counting, and provides consistent reporting in userspace tools such as station dump.
