I changed the way mac80211 updates the PM state of the peer. I forgot that we could also have multicast frames from the peer and that those frame should of course not change the PM state of the peer: A peer goes to power save when it needs to scan, but it won't send the broadcast Probe Request with the PM bit set. This made us mark the peer as awake when it wasn't and then Intel's firmware would fail to transmit because the peer is asleep according to its database. The driver warned about this and it looked like this: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 184 at /usr/src/linux-4.16.14/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/tx.c:1369 iwl_mvm_rx_tx_cmd+0x53b/0x860 CPU: 0 PID: 184 Comm: irq/124-iwlwifi Not tainted 4.16.14 #1 RIP: 0010:iwl_mvm_rx_tx_cmd+0x53b/0x860 Call Trace: iwl_pcie_rx_handle+0x220/0x880 iwl_pcie_irq_handler+0x6c9/0xa20 ? irq_forced_thread_fn+0x60/0x60 ? irq_thread_dtor+0x90/0x90 The relevant code that spits the WARNING is: case TX_STATUS_FAIL_DEST_PS: /* the FW should have stopped the queue and not * return this status */ WARN_ON(1); info->flags |= IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED; This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199967.
