Hello, I was curious what the process is for requesting patches to be backported for the Fedora kernel release. There was a iwlwifi issue that would cause firmware resets and cause performance to significantly degrade to around ~500Kb/s till the interface was brought down and then up again. Upstream identified the issue and there are 2 patches that fix the issue by increasing the scan timeout[1] and in cases where the firmware resets allows it to recover quicker[2]. The patch to allow for quicker firmware recovery is present in Linus' tree and present in the 5.16 rc releases while the patch to prevent the firmware from crashing in the instance is in net-next for 5.17. I've been running the two patches, both are very minor changes in my opinion, on top of the 5.15 Fedora kernel but it would be great to not have to continue rebuilding the kernel and I know others that would benefit from the patches being included. I believe this impacts any Intel WiFi 6 cards but I hit this on the AX210 in my Framework laptop.
