The current wcn36xx driver didn't handle rx skb allocation failure case. It only could be triggered when system is in extremly memory shortage case. King Lawrence <lking@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hit it by git clone linux kernel tree on DragonBoard <1>. The fixing is not to submit the old rx skb to network upper layer and reuse it as rx DMA buffer again. Changes from v2: * Remove the ugly macro introduced in v2 per comment from Julian Calaby. * Seperate the DMA int mask register writing as one patch per comment from Bjorn Andersson. Changes from v1: * Move switch block out of while loop. * Remove the warning of unknown channel because we didn't deal with it.
