From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>
When the firmware crashes, we first told the op_mode and only then,
changed the transport's state. This is a problem if the op_mode's
nic_error() handler needs to send a host command: it'll see that the
transport's state still reflects that the firmware is alive.
Today, this has no consequences since we set the STATUS_FW_ERROR bit and
that will prevent sending host commands. iwl_fw_dbg_stop_restart_recording
looks at this bit to know not to send a host command for example.
In the next patch, we will need to reset the firmware without having an
error and checking STATUS_FW_ERROR to see whether the firmware is alive
will no longer hold.
Change the flow a bit.
Change trans->state before calling the op_mode's nic_error() method and
check trans->state instead of STATUS_FW_ERROR. This will keep the
current behavior of iwl_fw_dbg_stop_restart_recording upon firmware
error, and it'll allow us to call iwl_fw_dbg_stop_restart_recording
safely even if STATUS_FW_ERROR is clear, but yet, the firmware is not
alive.
