mwifiex crash when removing interface while scanning

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

 



Hi,

Testing mwifiex_sdio on XO-4 (8787) on Linux 3.8. In OLPC's use case
we quite regularly will power down the wireless card when it is not
being actively used. This is currently proving problematic.

Here is a test case reproducing one of the failures we are seeing:

First, run this script:

insmod mwifiex_sdio.ko
sleep 1
ifconfig eth0 up
iwlist eth0 scan &
sleep 0.5
rmmod mwifiex_sdio

It normally runs fine the first time, no errors, but run it again and
it terminates with these errors:

    mwifiex_sdio mmc0:0001:1: rx_pending=0, tx_pending=0, cmd_pending=-1
    eth0      Failed to read scan data : No such device

>From this point, things are pretty screwed up. Try to load the driver again...

insmod mwifiex_sdio.ko

mwifiex_sdio: Resetting card...
WARNING: driver mwifiex_sdio did not remove its interrupt handler!
mmc0: card 0001 removed

and it doesn't come back.

Let me know how we can help further debugging.

Thanks
Daniel
