This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iwlwifi: mvm: don't change band on bound PHY contexts to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: iwlwifi-mvm-don-t-change-band-on-bound-phy-contexts.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5a3c27e4dfeee47b28bf54b93f0a72d00e7b6a0d Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Jun 12 14:32:38 2021 +0300 iwlwifi: mvm: don't change band on bound PHY contexts [ Upstream commit 8835a64f74c46baebfc946cd5a2c861b866ebcee ] When we have a P2P Device active, we attempt to only change the PHY context it uses when we get a new remain-on-channel, if the P2P Device is the only user of the PHY context. This is fine if we're switching within a band, but if we're switching bands then the switch implies a removal and re-add of the PHY context, which isn't permitted by the firmware while it's bound to an interface. Fix the code to skip the unbind/release/... cycle only if the band doesn't change (or we have old devices that can switch the band on the fly as well.)
