This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ath5k: fix spontaneus AR5312 freezes to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt9. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 032f0e4fcc8816a774284f0179baf5869db81e30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergey Ryazanov <ryazanov.s.a@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2015 00:21:13 +0300 Subject: ath5k: fix spontaneus AR5312 freezes commit 8bfae4f9938b6c1f033a5159febe97e441d6d526 upstream. Sometimes while CPU have some load and ath5k doing the wireless interface reset the whole WiSoC completely freezes. Set of tests shows that using atomic delay function while we wait interface reset helps to avoid such freezes. The easiest way to reproduce this issue: create a station interface, start continous scan with wpa_supplicant and load CPU by something. Or just create multiple station interfaces and put them all in continous scan. This patch partially reverts the commit 1846ac3dbec0 ("ath5k: Use usleep_range where possible"), which replaces initial udelay() by usleep_range(). I do not know actual source of this issue, but all looks like that HW freeze is caused by transaction on internal SoC bus, while wireless block is in reset state. Also I should note that I do not know how many chips are affected, but I did not see this issue with chips, other than AR5312.
