[PATCH ath-next v2] wifi: ath10k: shutdown driver when hardware is unreliable

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In rare cases, ath10k may lose connection with the PCIe bus due to
some unknown reasons, which could further lead to system crashes during
resuming due to watchdog timeout:

ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: wmi command 20486 timeout, restarting hardware
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: already restarting
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to stop WMI vdev 0: -11
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to stop vdev 0: -11
ieee80211 phy0: PM: **** DPM device timeout ****
Call Trace:
 panic+0x125/0x315
 dpm_watchdog_set+0x54/0x54
 dpm_watchdog_handler+0x57/0x57
 call_timer_fn+0x31/0x13c

At this point, all WMI commands will timeout and attempt to restart
device. So set a threshold for consecutive restart failures. If the
threshold is exceeded, consider the hardware is unreliable and all
ath10k operations should be skipped to avoid system crash.

fail_cont_count and pending_recovery are atomic variables, and
do not involve complex conditional logic. Therefore, even if recovery
check and reconfig complete are executed concurrently, the recovery
mechanism will not be broken.

Tested-on: QCA6174 hw3.2 PCI WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00288-QCARMSWPZ-1

v2:
1. change u8 to u32 for recovery_count.
2. don't add a new line for debug log.
