Instead of the atomic restart count, can the state be updated to

the recovery process is begin with ath10k_core_restart, and end with ath10k_reconfig_complete. I already see it has mutex_lock(&ar->conf_mutex) and mutex_unlock(&ar->conf_mutex) in ath10k_core_restart,
but it is not enough, for example:
1st recovery has finished ath10k_core_restart, but not arrive ath10k_reconfig_complete, then the 2nd recovery begin to enter ath10k_core_restart, it will destroy the 1st recovery and let 1st recovery fail. After apply this patch, after recovery about 18000+ times, and still can connect/scan/ping success.

I don't understand the bundles, but I wonder about the case when there
are multiple packets (n_rx_pkts) and if pkt_bundle_len might be the
one to check. Also if there needs to be a check that the len > sizeof
HTC HDR.

the htc_hdr->len is len of payload, so it allow < sizeof HTC HDR, but not allow > ATH10K_HTC_MBOX_MAX_PAYLOAD_LENGTH. pkt_bundle is only used when it has many packet in rx side, otherwise it is not bundled in rx.
