This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix too long disable of IRQs to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.20. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From f597657f040148ce6408f4465f39c5f9e74195b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olivier Langlois <olivier@trillion01.com> Date: Sat, 1 Feb 2014 01:11:09 -0500 Subject: rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix too long disable of IRQs commit f78bccd79ba3cd9d9664981b501d57bdb81ab8a4 upstream. rtl8192ce is disabling for too long the local interrupts during hw initiatialisation when performing scans The observable symptoms in dmesg can be: - underruns from ALSA playback - clock freezes (tstamps do not change for several dmesg entries until irqs are finaly reenabled): [ 250.817669] rtlwifi:rtl_op_config():<0-0-0> 0x100 [ 250.817685] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_phy_set_rf_power_state():<0-1-0> IPS Set eRf nic enable [ 250.817732] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.817796] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.817910] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818024] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818139] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818253] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818367] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:98053f15:10 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:rtl92ce_sw_led_on():<0-1-0> LedAddr:4E ledpin=1 [ 250.818472] rtl8192c_common:rtl92c_download_fw():<0-1-0> Firmware Version(49), Signature(0x88c1),Size(32) [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:rtl92ce_enable_hw_security_config():<0-1-0> PairwiseEncAlgorithm = 0 GroupEncAlgorithm = 0 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:rtl92ce_enable_hw_security_config():<0-1-0> The SECR-value cc [ 250.818472] rtl8192c_common:rtl92c_dm_check_txpower_tracking_thermal_meter():<0-1-0> Schedule TxPowerTracking direct call!!

[Q]-0 (stream=0, delta=15903, new_hw_ptr=293408, old_hw_ptr=277505) The exact code flow that causes that is: 1. wpa_supplicant send a start_scan request to the nl80211 driver 2. mac80211 module call rtl_op_config with IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE 3. rtl_ips_nic_on is called which disable local irqs 4. rtl92c_phy_set_rf_power_state() is called 5. rtl_ps_enable_nic() is called and hw_init()is executed and then the interrupts on the device are enabled A good solution could be to refactor the code to avoid calling rtl92ce_hw_init() with the irqs disabled but a quick and dirty solution that has proven to work is to reenable the irqs during the function rtl92ce_hw_init(). I think that it is safe doing so since the device interrupt will only be enabled after the init function succeed.
