Embedding net_device into structures prohibits the usage of flexible
arrays in the net_device structure. For more details, see the discussion
at [1].

Un-embed the net_device from struct ath10k by converting it
into a pointer. Then use the leverage alloc_netdev() to allocate the
net_device object at ath10k_core_create(). The free of the device occurs
at ath10k_core_destroy().

BTW if the patch is not tested on a real device then it's good to
document that in the commit message with "Compile tested only" or
similar.

Good to know. Thanks. I will add it to the next patches.

The ath11 patch is much more complex, I'd wager this one is fine.

Please no. There is no magic here. alloc + free must match whether
you're using magic object alloc wrapper (alloc_netdev()) or straight
up kzalloc().

Based upon the ath11k patch there must be something going on with
alloc_netdev()/free_netdev() that doesn't occur when these aren't used.

So I'm just suggesting that instead we use kmalloc() and kfree(), which are
matching functions, and which, like the existing code, are not subject to
whatever is happening in alloc_netdev()/free_netdev().

I don't understand your objection.

Looks like init_dummy_netdev wipes the netdev structure clean, so I
don't think we can use it directly as the setup function, Breno :(
Maybe we should add a new helper to "alloc dummy netdev" which can
call alloc_netdev() with right arguments and do necessary init?

Using subsystem APIs to allocate its objects is preferable to ad hoc
kmalloc().

We're working upstream, basic alloc/free of an object should work.
Took me 5 min to realize what the problem is.

Before my patch,  init_dummy_netdev was being also used. The patch was
basically replacing the init_dummy_netdev by alloc_netdev() with will
call "setup(dev);" later. 

-               init_dummy_netdev(&irq_grp->napi_ndev);
+               irq_grp->napi_ndev = alloc_netdev(0, "dummy", NET_NAME_UNKNOWN,
+                                                 init_dummy_netdev);

I am wondering if alloc_netdev() is messing with something instead of
init_dummy_netdev().

Also, Kalle's crash is during rmmod, and not during initialization.
getting NULL after free_netdev() is called.

What are the right arguments in this case?

Thanks!

alloc_netdev() allocates some memory and initializes lists which
free_netdev() wants to free, basically. But init_dummy_netdev() does:

	/* Clear everything. Note we don't initialize spinlocks
	 * are they aren't supposed to be taken by any of the
	 * NAPI code and this dummy netdev is supposed to be
	 * only ever used for NAPI polls
	 */
	memset(dev, 0, sizeof(struct net_device));

so all those pointers and init alloc_netdev() did before calling setup
will get wiped.

I'm not sure we have a noop setup() callback today. If you define a
wrapper to allocate a dummy netdev you can define a new empty function
next to it and pass that as init? Hope I got the question right.

Thanks for the explanation, it is clear now. I've been working on it,
and this is what I came up with. This is compile-tested by now, and, if
this is what you had in mind, I will do more extensive testing.

      Create a helper to allocate and initialize dummy netdevices. This
      function basically simplify the allocation of dummy devices, by

      net: Split init_dummy_netdev
      
      It is impossible to use init_dummy_netdev together with alloc_netdev()
      as the 'setup' argument.
      
      This is because alloc_netdev() initializes some fields in the net_device
      structure, and later init_dummy_netdev() memzero them all. This casues
      some problems as reported here:
      
              https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240322082336.49f110cc@kernel.org/
      
      Split the function in two. Create a new function called
      init_dummy_netdev_core() that does not memset the net_device structure.
      Then have init_dummy_netdev() memseting and calling
      init_dummy_netdev_core().
      
      init_dummy_netdev_core() will be the function that could be called as
      an argument for alloc_netdev().

Can init_dummy_netdev_core() be a static function (and no export)?
alloc_netdev_dummy() is probably going to be the only user.

I'd also lean towards squashing the two commits into one.

After some tweaking I was able to get an old x86 laptop with ath10k back
alive and I tested this patch using QCA9984/QCA9994 hw1.0 PCI device. As
expected it did crash during rmmod and it seems to crash because
dev->dev_addr is zero:
