ath10k: fix soft lockup during firmware crash/hw-restart
During firmware crash (or) user requested manual restart the system gets into a soft lock up state because of the below root cause. During user requested hardware restart / firmware crash the system goes into a soft lockup state as 'napi_synchronize' is called after 'napi_disable' (which sets 'NAPI_STATE_SCHED' bit) and it sleeps into infinite loop as it waits for 'NAPI_STATE_SCHED' to be cleared. This condition is hit because 'ath10k_hif_stop' is called twice as below (resulting in calling 'napi_synchronize' after 'napi_disable') 'ath10k_core_restart' -> 'ath10k_hif_stop' (ATH10K_STATE_ON) -> -> 'ieee80211_restart_hw' -> 'ath10k_start' -> 'ath10k_halt' -> 'ath10k_core_stop' -> 'ath10k_hif_stop' (ATH10K_STATE_RESTARTING) Fix this by calling 'ath10k_halt' in ath10k_core_restart itself as it makes more sense before informing mac80211 to restart h/w Also remove 'ath10k_halt' in ath10k_start for the state of 'restarting' Fixes: 3c97f5de ("ath10k: implement NAPI support") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v4.9 Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qti.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>
