So I still get stalls with this latest set on my Fujitsu, but that
doesn't mean the patch shouldn't be applied. It doesn't work any
_worse_ than before. It also worked better than before the first time I
tried it. I have logs.
Behavior is basically that the TX watchdog timer fires, then the
libertas TX timeout handler tries to send the RSSI command, which also
times out and gets requeued forever.
The first time I got a few hundred MBs into an ISO before the stall, and
got an interesting WARNING from the kernel while in the TX timeout
handler when attempting to send the RSSI command.
The second time I started a ping of machine B (where the Libertas CF
card is) from the machine B (on which the ISO image is), while scp-ing
the ISO from machine A to machine B. This got only a few MB in before
the same behavior occurred.
I really don't know what to do to trace it further. Is there a way to
reset the CF card and kick the firmware in the head that I can try from
the TX handler, like a USB port reset or something? I also might be
able to set this machine up for remote access so you can play with it if
you like.
But again; if the patch works better for you, I'll ack it because it
doesn't work any worse for me. Logs with libertas_debug=0x443af
available if you want to see them.
