Upon unloading the driver, the ps_usecount is incremented before configuring gpio registers in deinit_device. But it is failed to restore the ps_usecount after that. The problem is that the chip is moved to FULL SLEEP by radio_disable when mac80211 is reporting as idle though ps_usecount is not zero. This patch retores ps_usecount properly and ensures that the chip is always moved to full sleep only if ps usage counte is zero which helps in debugging. And also fixes the following warning. ath: DMA failed to stop in 10 ms AR_CR=0xdeadbeef AR_DIAG_SW=0xdeadbeef ath: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/recv.c:536 ath_stoprecv+0xf4/0x100 [ath9k]() Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanoharan@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c | 2 ++ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c | 2 -- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c index 767d8b8..b38c874 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c @@ -824,6 +824,8 @@ void ath9k_deinit_device(struct ath_softc *sc) wiphy_rfkill_stop_polling(sc->hw->wiphy); ath_deinit_leds(sc); + ath9k_ps_restore(sc); + for (i = 0; i < sc->num_sec_wiphy; i++) { struct ath_wiphy *aphy = sc->sec_wiphy[i]; if (aphy == NULL) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c index c03184e..aff1c72 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c @@ -966,8 +966,6 @@ void ath_radio_disable(struct ath_softc *sc, struct ieee80211_hw *hw) spin_unlock_bh(&sc->sc_pcu_lock); ath9k_ps_restore(sc); - - ath9k_setpower(sc, ATH9K_PM_FULL_SLEEP); } int ath_reset(struct ath_softc *sc, bool retry_tx) -- 1.7.3.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
