Upon firmware load interrupt (FH_TX), the ISR re-enables the firmware load interrupt only to avoid races with other flows as described in the commit below. When the firmware is completely loaded, the thread that is loading the firmware will enable all the interrupts to make sure that the driver gets the ALIVE interrupt. The problem with that is that the thread that is loading the firmware is actually racing against the ISR and we can get to the following situation: CPU0 CPU1 iwl_pcie_load_given_ucode ... iwl_pcie_load_firmware_chunk wait_for_interrupt <interrupt> ISR handles CSR_INT_BIT_FH_TX ISR wakes up the thread on CPU0 /* enable all the interrupts * to get the ALIVE interrupt */ iwl_enable_interrupts ISR re-enables CSR_INT_BIT_FH_TX only /* start the firmware */ iwl_write32(trans, CSR_RESET, 0); BUG! ALIVE interrupt will never arrive since it has been masked by CPU1. In order to fix that, change the ISR to first check if STATUS_INT_ENABLED is set. If so, re-enable all the interrupts. If STATUS_INT_ENABLED is clear, then we can check what specific interrupt happened and re-enable only that specific interrupt (RFKILL or FH_TX). All the credit for the analysis goes to Kirtika who did the actual debugging work.
