If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 5283dd677e52af9db6fe6ad11b2f12220d519d0c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mordechay Goodstein <mordechay.goodstein@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2021 15:01:59 +0200 Subject: iwlwifi: mvm: retry init flow if failed From: Mordechay Goodstein <mordechay.goodstein@xxxxxxxxx> commit 5283dd677e52af9db6fe6ad11b2f12220d519d0c upstream. In some very rare cases the init flow may fail. In many cases, this is recoverable, so we can retry. Implement a loop to retry two more times after the first attempt failed. This can happen in two different situations, namely during probe and during mac80211 start. For the first case, a simple loop is enough. For the second case, we need to add a flag to prevent mac80211 from trying to restart it as well, leaving full control with the driver.
