      ath10k: schedule hardware restart if WMI command times out · a9911937
      Martin Willi authored
      When running in AP mode, ath10k sometimes suffers from TX credit
      starvation. The issue is hard to reproduce and shows up once in a
      few days, but has been repeatedly seen with QCA9882 and a large
      range of firmwares, including 10.2.4.70.67.
      
      Once the module is in this state, TX credits are never replenished,
      which results in "SWBA overrun" errors, as no beacons can be sent.
      Even worse, WMI commands run in a timeout while holding the conf
      mutex for three seconds each, making any further operations slow
      and the whole system unresponsive.
      
      The firmware/driver never recovers from that state automatically,
      and triggering TX flush or warm restarts won't work over WMI. So
      issue a hardware restart if a WMI command times out due to missing
      TX credits. This implies a connectivity outage of about 1.4s in AP
      mode, but brings back the interface and the whole system to a usable
      state. WMI command timeouts have not been seen in absent of this
      specific issue, so taking such drastic actions seems legitimate.

      ath10k: skip resetting rx filter for WCN3990 · 58da3b42
      Rakesh Pillai authored
      WCN3990 has the MAC_PCU_ADDR1 configured properly
      and hence it will not send spurious ack frames
      during boot up.
      
      Hence the reset_rx_filter workaround is not needed
      for WCN3990. Add a hw_param to indicate if hardware rx
      filter reset is needed and skip the reset_rx_filter for
      WCN3990.
      
      Tested HW: WCN3990
      Tested FW: WLAN.HL.2.0-01188-QCAHLSWMTPLZ-1

      ath10k: fix kernel panic by moving pci flush after napi_disable · bd1d3950
      Tamizh chelvam authored
      When continuously running wifi up/down sequence, the napi poll
      can be scheduled after the CE buffers being freed by ath10k_pci_flush
      
      Steps:
        In a certain condition, during wifi down below scenario might occur.
      
      ath10k_stop->ath10k_hif_stop->napi_schedule->ath10k_pci_flush->napi_poll(napi_synchronize).
      
      In the above scenario, CE buffer entries will be freed up and become NULL in
      ath10k_pci_flush. And the napi_poll has been invoked after the flush process
      and it will try to get the skb from the CE buffer entry and perform some action on that.
      Since the CE buffer already cleaned by pci flush this action will create NULL
      pointer dereference and trigger below kernel panic.
      
      Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000005c
