[athk9] beacon.c:642 ath9k_calculate_summary_state dump

[Vidar Haarr]

Hi,

I'm seeing the message below spammed continously in journald, even
with 4.8-rc6. It's so bad that it throttles the CPU performance every
few seconds.

I found https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9247699/ which seems related.

I am not subscribed to linux-wireless.

First, here's some system info, then the stack trace at the bottom.

Looks like exactly the same problem, but the fix (below) is not in
v4.8-rc6. Should be in -rc7 which Linus hopefully releases on Sunday.
Please test that and report if the problem continues.

Indeed, I did not check to see if -rc6 included it specifically, I
just checked github.com/torvalds/linux master branch to see if the fix
was there just before I sent the email to linux-wireless.
-rc7 seems to have resolved the issue.

Thank you,
