Testing mainline kernel 5.14 on Linksys WRT3200

commit make reference to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=cf9bf871280d
I tried with the patch 700 removed, didn't notice any difference.

@anon80727944 You should try this.

25MB images? 21.02.0-rcX are ~6MB.

I tried the system upgrade image for the wrt1900acs , boot ok no crash.

Just took a stab at building a clone of your 5.14-rc4 branch and it fails for me. Wondering what flavour of GCC you are using, I tried both 10.x and 11.x resulting in same:

I use the default version 8 , Toolchain Options unchecked, before to change to GCC 8 delete /tmp folder or make dirclean.
I got the same error when tried GCC 11 binutils 3.7, changing to binutils 2.36.1 fixed.

binutils was indeed the culprit, thanks. Built images with GCC 11.x:

I had to drop WG due to a crypto change.

error

so no all things WG, but that is pretty small; did not look to see if zx2c4 is doing anything upstream.

Flashed and booted on a mamba, but keeps generating a kernel fault, keeps running though. Have not tried on the rango I have here. To the note in OP re. wifi, I left mwlwifi in build, not sure if that plays a part here.

This patch fix the WireGuard build issue:

Took a clone of your latest 5.14-RC5 with WG fixup, built and flashed to a mamba. The kernel faults seen on RC4 are no longer, everything that I have tested appears to be working. The only anomaly seen on this target device is PWM (fan) is not working (was fine on RC4).

Edit: also the radios are up and running on target device:

did not notice if you changed anything on that front.

I didn't make any changes other than rebase and kernel bump, on my rango has been stable for the last 3 days.

Are there updated pre-builds with all the latest patches?

@LGA1150

I installed 5.14rc4 from dropbox link above and attempted to install missing bonding packages, thus can't test LACP

@LGA1150


I just added bonding to the RC5 build I had in place and uploaded to my drop if you want to test whether 5.14RCx resolves your issue. Images to be found from link on my avatar.

WRT1900ACv1. Any suggestions?

If you have not previously flashed an image to your mamba that enlarged the kernel reservation space you should use factory image and force. Whether sysupgrade or factory do no keep config.

Thanks for the bonding builds.

  1. The LuCI interface does not properly populate the list of devices, thus you have to select the blank entries in order to save LAGG interface and manually edit /etc/config/network file to add devices.

  1. Once I manually edited the /etc/config/network file, reboot would hang, thus unable to test bonding.

Reverted back to 21.02.0rc4

@anon80727944 I uploaded to my dropbox a new build, I added bonding, tested and working ok on the WRT3200.

Thanks. Will test when I get home.

Do the DSA drivers support multiple CPUs to allow greater than 1Gbps combined throughput?

@LGA1150 had me test a build that supported it. I stopped testing it when we couldn’t figure out why it would not route traffic properly from WLAN to the bonded interface

No, but see PR4036

We'll thanks for the new images. I tried to enable 5GHz wifi channel, tried WPA3, WPA2/3 Mixed, WPA2. All of which will not allow me to connect.

Initially, I tried the wrt1900acv1 sysupgrade BIN file, then tried the factory IMG file with same results.

I didn't even both to set up a bonding interface to eliminate that as a contributor.

I think this is a similar issue I had with @LGA1150 's builds that would not properly route traffic from WLAN to LAN side.

Reverting back to 21.02.0rc4, which I have not had any problems with any WPA2/3 mode.
