This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled wifi: ath11k: Defer on rproc_get failure to the 5.15-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: wifi-ath11k-defer-on-rproc_get-failure.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 23a342a14d08cc7bf82a1d6666f512c3ca86b98f Author: Luca Weiss <luca.weiss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Oct 27 08:57:18 2023 +0200 wifi: ath11k: Defer on rproc_get failure [ Upstream commit 2a3ec40b98b46c339adb57313d3b933ee5e7a8e8 ] If we already have gotten the rproc_handle (meaning the "qcom,rproc" property is defined in the devicetree), it's a valid state that the remoteproc module hasn't probed yet so we should defer probing instead of just failing to probe. This resolves a race condition when the ath11k driver probes and fails before the wpss remoteproc driver has probed, like the following: [ 6.232360] ath11k 17a10040.wifi: failed to get rproc [ 6.232366] ath11k 17a10040.wifi: failed to get rproc: -22 [ 6.232478] ath11k: probe of 17a10040.wifi failed with error -22 ... [ 6.252415] remoteproc remoteproc2: 8a00000.remoteproc is available [ 6.252776] remoteproc remoteproc2: powering up 8a00000.remoteproc [ 6.252781] remoteproc remoteproc2: Booting fw image qcom/qcm6490/fairphone5/wpss.mdt, size 7188 So, defer the probe if we hit that so we can retry later once the wpss remoteproc is available.
