Dear All,

I am using LEDE on my IPQ806x (QCA9980) system (Archer C2600).
With compat-wireless-2016-05-12, I observed traces attached below.
The router is unstable and eventually reboots by itself (randomly).

Upon reverting to compat-wireless-2016-01, the issue disappears. Nothing
else is changed (software-wise or hardware).
This was confirmed with other users.

A new compile with the fixes below:
https://git.lede-project.org/?p=lede/nbd/staging.git;a=commit;h=858e26f3c0fc11231f25497cbb2ddca1e5f101e0

Did not solve the problem.

Please let me know if I need to provide any further information.

Can you post what is at rx.c line 4068 (and +/- 3 lines), please?
It's early in ieee80211_rx_napi:

     sband = local->hw.wiphy->bands[status->band];
     if (WARN_ON(!sband))
         goto drop;

I could not easily find a scenario under which status->band would not be
set properly by the driver, so my guess is there is some nasty memory
corruption going on.

FWIW, I've received several reports like this from different people on
different devices. They're also confirming that reverting to the
snapshot from January makes things stable again.

Adding ath10k list to the loop.

This looks a lot like the problems I was having.

Two of these 5 patches recently made it upstream (but may not be in LEDE yet),
but the other patches also were related to memory corruption.

See my patches posted on 4/1/16:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/ath10k/list/

I don't know where the 5/5 patch ended up.

Thanks,
Ben
