To whom it may engage, I have a GL.iNet B1300 AP, which uses ath10k hardware (QCA4019). It's running OpenWRT 18.06.04. It had been running stably, until about 48 hours ago; I have it mostly stable again now, by updating to the latest firmware Kalle makes available at Github. With this latest firmware, I *did* get a "WARNING" message, that might be of interest to folks; here it is: [20528.715145] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [20528.715192] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at backports-2017-11-01/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt_rx.c:1015 0xbf3925ac [ath10k_core@bf37e000+0x3a000] [20528.718851] Modules linked in: pppoe ppp_async ath10k_pci ath10k_core ath pppox ppp_generic nf_nat_pptp nf_conntrack_pptp nf_conntrack_ipv6 mac80211 iptable_nat ipt_REJECT ipt_MASQUERADE cfg80211 xt_time xt_tcpudp xt_tcpmss xt_statistic xt_state xt_recent xt_nat xt_multiport xt_mark xt_mac xt_limit xt_length xt_hl xt_helper xt_ecn xt_dscp xt_conntrack xt_connmark xt_connlimit xt_connbytes xt_comment xt_TCPMSS xt_REDIRECT xt_LOG xt_HL xt_FLOWOFFLOAD xt_DSCP xt_CT xt_CLASSIFY ts_fsm ts_bm slhc nf_reject_ipv4 nf_nat_tftp nf_nat_snmp_basic nf_nat_sip nf_nat_redirect nf_nat_proto_gre nf_nat_masquerade_ipv4 nf_nat_irc nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_nat_ipv4 nf_nat_h323 nf_nat_amanda nf_nat nf_log_ipv4 nf_flow_table_hw nf_flow_table nf_defrag_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv4 nf_conntrack_tftp nf_conntrack_snmp nf_conntrack_sip [20528.780346] nf_conntrack_rtcache nf_conntrack_proto_gre nf_conntrack_irc nf_conntrack_h323 nf_conntrack_broadcast ts_kmp nf_conntrack_amanda iptable_mangle iptable_filter ipt_ECN ip_tables crc_ccitt compat sch_cake nf_conntrack act_skbedit act_mirred em_u32 cls_u32 cls_tcindex cls_flow cls_route cls_fw sch_tbf sch_htb sch_hfsc sch_ingress ip6t_REJECT nf_reject_ipv6 nf_log_ipv6 nf_log_common ip6table_mangle ip6table_filter ip6_tables x_tables ip6_gre ip_gre gre ifb ip6_tunnel tunnel6 ip_tunnel leds_gpio xhci_plat_hcd xhci_pci xhci_hcd dwc3 dwc3_of_simple gpio_button_hotplug [20528.831103] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.14.131 #0 [20528.853295] Hardware name: Generic DT based system [20528.859293] Function entered at [<c030e35c>] from [<c030a870>] [20528.863973] Function entered at [<c030a870>] from [<c07328c8>] [20528.869789] Function entered at [<c07328c8>] from [<c0316f74>] [20528.875605] Function entered at [<c0316f74>] from [<c0317040>] [20528.881420] Function entered at [<c0317040>] from [<bf3925ac>] [20528.887295] Function entered at [<bf3925ac>] from [<bf3939f4>] [20528.893054] Function entered at [<bf3939f4>] from [<bf3bb720>] [20528.898880] Function entered at [<bf3bb720>] from [<c0634694>] [20528.904686] Function entered at [<c0634694>] from [<c0301520>] [20528.910501] Function entered at [<c0301520>] from [<c031af5c>] [20528.916318] Function entered at [<c031af5c>] from [<c0352a20>] [20528.922133] Function entered at [<c0352a20>] from [<c030140c>] [20528.927948] Function entered at [<c030140c>] from [<c030b3cc>] [20528.933765] Exception stack(0xc0a01f40 to 0xc0a01f88) [20528.939587] 1f40: 00000001 00000000 00000000 c0313840 ffffe000 c0a03c74 c0a03c28 00000000 [20528.944711] 1f60: 00000000 00000001 cfffce00 c092da28 c0a01f88 c0a01f90 c0307f88 c0307f8c [20528.952864] 1f80: 60000013 ffffffff [20528.961018] Function entered at [<c030b3cc>] from [<c0307f8c>] [20528.964321] Function entered at [<c0307f8c>] from [<c0349708>] [20528.970223] Function entered at [<c0349708>] from [<c0349a28>] [20528.976038] Function entered at [<c0349a28>] from [<c0900c04>] [20528.981927] ---[ end trace be8769e792e356eb ]--- The card is still working, despite the above being issued.
