Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: sdio: Add missing BH locking around napi_schdule()
Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2021 11:43:39 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210824144339.2796122-1-festevam@denx.de> (raw)

On a i.MX-based board with a QCA9377 Wifi chip, the following errors
are seen after launching the 'hostapd' application:

hostapd /etc/wifi.conf
Configuration file: /etc/wifi.conf
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->COUNTRY_UPDATE
NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!
Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 00:1f:7b:31:04:a0 and ssid "thessid"
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
wlan0: interface state COUNTRY_UPDATE->ENABLED
wlan0: AP-ENABLED
NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!
NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!
NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!
NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!
...

Fix this problem by adding the BH locking around napi-schedule(),
in the same way it was done in commit e63052a5dd3c ("mlx5e: add
add missing BH locking around napi_schdule()").

Its commit log provides the following explanation:

"It's not correct to call napi_schedule() in pure process
context. Because we use __raise_softirq_irqoff() we require
callers to be in a context which will eventually lead to
softirq handling (hardirq, bh disabled, etc.).
    
With code as is users will see:
    
NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!
"
