[PATCH v5.5 04/10] iwlwifi: pcie: detect the DMA bug and warn if it happens

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

Warn if the DMA bug is going to happen. We don't have a good
way of actually aborting in this case and we have workarounds
in place for the cases where it happens, but in order to not
be surprised add a safety-check and warn.
