From 55e254e344af434d08b07accb4dc413c27c6b10a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Pham <61564344+Mikefly123@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 22:40:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/18] test(file-handling): add red integration tests for issue #457 Reproduces UART file uplink/downlink failures for multi-chunk transfers: uplink corrupts silently above ~3-4 chunks (separate, unresolved bug), and downlink hangs indefinitely on any transfer (root-caused to downlinkRepeater's BufferRepeater fanning out to a disabled-by-default LoRa channel that never returns its buffer). Oracle is fileManager's on-board CalculateCrc vs local zlib.crc32^0xFFFFFFFF for uplink, and byte-for-byte comparison against the GDS's own downlinked bytes for downlink. Includes a 1/3/5-chunk parametrized suite plus slow-marked 1000-chunk uplink and downlink stress cases (downlink builds its large source file via on-board AppendFile rather than the still-broken large uplink path).

BufferRepeater's own CHANNEL_ENABLED default is all-channels-ENABLED, but lora.TRANSMIT defaults to DISABLED on every flight reset, so the LoRa channel's comQueue never drains its FILE buffer -> fileDownlink wedges permanently on the very first downlink attempt (matches #457 and #344). Fix: force downlinkRepeater.CHANNEL_ENABLED to [ENABLED, DISABLED, DISABLED] (UART-only) on every boot, right after loadParameters() in ReferenceDeploymentTopology.cpp, mirroring the existing lora.start(..., TransmitState::DISABLED) override pattern already used in this file for project-specific boot-time defaults. paramSet_CHANNEL_ENABLED() is private on the generated component base (command-dispatch only), so the override drives the real command path: build a Fw::CmdArgBuffer and invoke downlinkRepeater's cmdIn port directly with opcode getIdBase() + OPCODE_CHANNEL_ENABLED_SET (0x0). This is a safe-default fix only -- it does not change BufferRepeater's fan-out logic. Re-enabling LoRa downlink requires explicitly setting CHANNEL_ENABLED[1]=ENABLED in lockstep with lora.TRANSMIT ENABLED; HIL testing showed enabling TRANSMIT alone does not recover an already-wedged transfer and even fresh transfers only drain slowly against downlinkDelay's configured cadence. Verified on hardware (PROVES V5e flight controller): downlink 1 and 3 chunk cases pass cleanly from a cold boot with no manual PRM_SET (302B and 612B transfers land correctly and instantly). Uplink 1/3 chunks and downlink-of-a-5-chunk-file remain red -- separate, pre-existing uplink corruption bug above ~3-4 chunks, out of scope for this fix.

Once the ring is full, it disables its own RX interrupt (uart_irq_rx_disable) instead of reading-and-dropping. For this board's USB-CDC-backed UART, that makes the underlying stack NAK the host's bulk-OUT endpoint, so unread bytes queue up in the *host's* USB stack (true end-to-end flow control) instead of being silently lost. schedIn_handler re-enables RX once draining frees ring space. - RxRingBufferOverrun (throttled warning event) + RxOverrunCount (telemetry) surface any residual drops, which should no longer occur in normal operation. RAM-neutral: RING_BUF_SIZE stays 1024 bytes; SERIAL_BUFFER_SIZE (64->248) draws from commsBufferManager's existing 1024B-per-buffer pool, adding no new allocation. Verified on hardware (PROVES V5e, RP2350/Zephyr): uplink 1/3/4/5/6/8/10 chunks and 5x5-chunk repeats pass reliably; previously uplinks above 3-4 chunks corrupted ~100% of the time. Zero RX ring-buffer overrun or CCSDS frame-desync events observed across all post-fix test sessions.

This synchronous, per-command filesystem write raced FileUplink/FileManager/FileDownlink/PrmDb's own filesystem operations on the shared SD-card-backed FatFs mount, causing intermittent ENOENT on immediate follow-up file access (root cause of #461, confirmed via extensive HIL A/B testing: 1/10 pass rate with the writer active vs 10/10 disabled, plus a captured SWD ring-buffer trace showing the writer's full open/write/sync/close cycle executing inside FileUplink's own open-file window on a different thread). Fix: write-ahead batched persistence. The in-RAM sequence number remains authoritative for runtime acceptance decisions (unchanged). Persistence is now bounded to at most once every SEQ_NUM_PERSIST_STRIDE (100) accepted frames, writing accepted + STRIDE as the new high-water mark -- so the persisted value is always >= any legitimately-accepted sequence number, preserving the anti-replay guarantee (#426) across an unexpected power loss while eliminating per-command filesystem contention.

Since SET_SEQ_NUM is itself an authenticated command frame processed through the same dataIn_handler path, this was a self-inflicted deadlock with no ground recovery possible. Corrected: an invalid/unreadable persisted record now falls back to sequence number 0 (identical to the genuine-first-boot path) and command capability is never blocked. SequenceNumberRecordInvalid still fires so the anomaly is visible, and ground can still use SET_SEQ_NUM to fast-forward past any previously-used sequence numbers if the real last-used value is known, but this is no longer required to restore basic command capability. --- .../TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.cpp | 66 +++++++++---------- .../TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.fpp | 9 +-- .../TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.hpp | 13 ++-- 3 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 48 deletions(-) diff --git a/PROVESFlightControllerReference/Components/TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.cpp b/PROVESFlightControllerReference/Components/TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.cpp index af8274d5..a6d0e791 100644 --- a/PROVESFlightControllerReference/Components/TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.cpp +++ b/PROVESFlightControllerReference/Components/TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.cpp @@ -27,8 +27,7 @@ TcSecurityDeframer ::TcSecurityDeframer(const char* const compName) m_sequenceNumberFilePath(), m_sequenceNumber(0), m_sequenceNumberWindow(0), - m_persistedHighWater(0), - m_sequenceNumberArmed(false) {} + m_persistedHighWater(0) {} TcSecurityDeframer ::~TcSecurityDeframer() {} @@ -58,16 +57,16 @@ void TcSecurityDeframer ::dataIn_handler(FwIndexType portNum, Fw::Buffer& data, { Os::ScopeLock lock(this->m_sequenceNumberLock); - // If the persisted sequence-number record failed torn-write validation on boot, the - // component is UNARMED: reject every frame (valid or not) until ground re-arms it via - // SET_SEQ_NUM.

Once the high-water mark is stuck below the ever-advancing accepted sequence number, EVERY subsequent accepted frame re-satisfies the persist condition and retries the write, degrading the fix back into a persist-on-every-frame race (the original #461 bug) for the rest of the boot, permanently, after a single transient filesystem hiccup.

Fix: advance m_persistedHighWater unconditionally, whether or not the write succeeded. Bounds the retry to the next stride boundary instead of every frame.

If persist writes were failing, the on-disk value would stay stale/low while accepted sequence numbers kept advancing past it with no bound, so a reboot during a failure streak could reopen a replay window for the ENTIRE gap since the last successful write, not bounded by SEQ_NUM_PERSIST_STRIDE at all. Corrected: m_persistedHighWater now only advances on a CONFIRMED successful write (Os::File::OP_OK). On failure, a bounded retry-backoff counter (SEQ_NUM_PERSIST_RETRY_BACKOFF = 10 accepted frames) is set instead of either (a) advancing anyway (the regression just fixed) or (b) retrying on every subsequent frame (degrades back to the original #461 persist-per-frame race). A new throttled SequenceNumberPersistFailed event fires on every retry attempt, carrying the raw fs status, so a sustained failure streak stays visible rather than silent. Invariant restated precisely: whenever a persist has ever succeeded, the value on disk is always >= the highest sequence number legitimately accepted at that time. Between successful persists, the gap is bounded by SEQ_NUM_PERSIST_STRIDE (steady state) or unresolved-and-loudly-flagged (failure streak) -- never silently unbounded. --- .../TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.cpp | 50 ++++++++++++------- .../TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.fpp | 6 +++ .../TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.hpp | 48 ++++++++++++------ 3 files changed, 71 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) diff --git a/PROVESFlightControllerReference/Components/TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.cpp b/PROVESFlightControllerReference/Components/TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.cpp index 9705c528..79672c2c 100644 --- a/PROVESFlightControllerReference/Components/TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.cpp +++ b/PROVESFlightControllerReference/Components/TcSecurityDeframer/TcSecurityDeframer.cpp @@ -27,7 +27,8 @@ TcSecurityDeframer ::TcSecurityDeframer(const char* const compName) m_sequenceNumberFilePath(), m_sequenceNumber(0), m_sequenceNumberWindow(0), - m_persistedHighWater(0) {} + m_persistedHighWater(0), + m_persistRetryBackoff(0) {} TcSecurityDeframer ::~TcSecurityDeframer() {} @@ -271,29 +272,40 @@ Os::File::Status TcSecurityDeframer ::writeSequenceNumber(const U32 value) { } void TcSecurityDeframer ::writeAheadPersistIfNeeded(U32 acceptedSeqNum) { - // Only persist when the accepted sequence number has caught up to (or passed) the last - // write-ahead high-water mark.

Project-side fixes: - commsFileBuffCount 5->20: headroom over the fileUplink queue so routine transfers never saturate (measured HiBuffs 10/10 with old pool, 12/25 now) - FileHandling fileUplink queue 10->30: must hold the entire pool or queue-full FW_ASSERTs (FATAL) during a stall - ComCcsds tlm queue depth 1->8: depth 1 silently dropped any second telemetry packet, which is why buffer-pool health never reached ground - wire ComCcsdsUart.commsBufferManager.schedIn to rateGroup1Hz and move its TotalBuffs/CurrBuffs/HiBuffs out of the packet omit list into Health - acceptance test: 3 consecutive 204KB uplinks asserting pool returns to baseline with headroom; remove xfail from test_large_round_trip; retry CRC oracle (transient FatFs OTHER_ERROR) and re-uplink once on silent frame loss (no ARQ on the link) Requires companion lib/fprime + lib/fprime-extras changes (submodule pin bumps pending): SpacePacketFramer drop-instead-of-assert on alloc failure, BUFFER_FANOUT_MAX_BUFFERS_IN_FLIGHT 10->40, CmdSequencer schedIn/pingIn and ActiveRateGroup PingIn queue-full 'drop' semantics. Verified: full UART file-transfer suite (9 tests incl. two 204KB round trips) green from one boot; overload now surfaces as FrameDropped/ NoBuffsAvailable/HLTH_PING_LATE warnings with the board fully responsive.

Fix: fan prepareForReboot out to both TcSecurityDeframer instances, which now persist the EXACT current sequence number on planned reboots (reset commands, safe-mode watchdog stop). Ground stays aligned across orderly reboots; unplanned resets still resume from the write-ahead mark, which remains the security-conservative direction. Watchdog::stop_handler is now the single notification point so ModeManager's stopWatchdog port path is covered, not just the STOP_WATCHDOG command. 2. integration-radio: uart_file_transfer_test.py was only marked board_only, so all its large-file UART tests (204KB transfers) ran over the LoRa link in the radio job and accounted for 9 of its 10 failures. Mark it uart_only, which the radio job's FILTER already excludes.
