Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: mvm: retry init flow if failed
Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2021 19:30:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <iwlwifi.20211109192950.486dfa9c4f35.I52a0411774b700bdc7dedb124d8b59bf99456eb2@changeid> (raw)
From: Mordechay Goodstein <mordechay.goodstein@intel.com>
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.
