This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ath11k: Invalidate cached reo ring entry before accessing it to the 5.17-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: ath11k-invalidate-cached-reo-ring-entry-before-acces.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.17 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c445f67323eb62396cfb683318d25e23178f1e85 Author: Rameshkumar Sundaram <quic_ramess@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Feb 16 14:02:34 2022 +0530 ath11k: Invalidate cached reo ring entry before accessing it [ Upstream commit f2180ccb52b5fd0876291ad2df37e2898cac18cf ] REO2SW ring descriptor is currently allocated in cacheable memory. While reaping reo ring entries on second trial after updating head pointer, first entry is not invalidated before accessing it. This results in host reaping and using cached descriptor which is already overwritten in memory by DMA device (HW). Since the contents of descriptor(buffer id, peer info and other information bits) are outdated host throws errors like below while parsing corresponding MSDU's and drops them. [347712.048904] ath11k_pci 0004:01:00.0: msdu_done bit in attention is not set [349173.355503] ath11k_pci 0004:01:00.0: frame rx with invalid buf_id 962 Move the try_again: label above ath11k_hal_srng_access_begin() so that first entry will be invalidated and prefetched.
