[PATCH v3 5/8] ath10k: use new taint_firmware_crashed()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This makes use of the new taint_firmware_crashed() to help
annotate when firmware for device drivers crash. When firmware
crashes devices can sometimes become unresponsive, and recovery
sometimes requires a driver unload / reload and in the worst cases
a reboot.

Using a taint flag allows us to annotate when this happens clearly.

I have run into this situation with this driver with the latest
firmware as of today, May 21, 2020 using v5.6.0, leaving me at
a state at which my only option is to reboot. Driver removal and
addition does not fix the situation. This is reported on kernel.org
bugzilla korg#207851 [0]. But this isn't the first firmware crash reported,
others have been filed before and none of these bugs have yet been
addressed [1] [2] [3].  Including my own I see these firmware crash
reports:

  * korg#207851 [0]
  * korg#197013 [1]
  * korg#201237 [2]
  * korg#195987 [3]
