At +first, it disables the interrupt generation, then it waits for the +interrupt handler and tasklets completion, and then proceeds to the HW +configuration update. But it does not consider that the interrupt +handler or tasklet re-enables the interrupt generation. And we fall in a +situation when ath5k assumes that interrupts are disabled, but it is +not. + +This can lead to different consequences, such as reception of the frame, +when we do not expect it. Under certain circumstances, this can lead to +the following warning: + + WARNING: at ath5k/base.c:589 ath5k_tasklet_rx+0x318/0x6ec [ath5k]() + invalid hw_rix: 1a + [..] + Call Trace: + [<802656a8>] show_stack+0x48/0x70 + [<802dd92c>] warn_slowpath_common+0x88/0xbc + [<802dd98c>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x2c/0x38 + [<81b51be8>] ath5k_tasklet_rx+0x318/0x6ec [ath5k] + [<8028ac64>] tasklet_action+0x8c/0xf0 + [<80075804>] __do_softirq+0x180/0x32c + [<80196ce8>] irq_exit+0x54/0x70 + [<80041848>] ret_from_irq+0x0/0x4 + [<80182fdc>] ioread32+0x4/0xc + [<81b4c42c>] ath5k_hw_set_sleep_clock+0x2ec/0x474 [ath5k] + [<81b4cf28>] ath5k_hw_reset+0x50/0xeb8 [ath5k] + [<81b50900>] ath5k_reset+0xd4/0x310 [ath5k] + [<81b557e8>] ath5k_config+0x4c/0x104 [ath5k] + [<80d01770>] ieee80211_hw_config+0x2f4/0x35c [mac80211] + [<80d09aa8>] ieee80211_scan_work+0x2e4/0x414 [mac80211] + [<8022c3f4>] process_one_work+0x28c/0x400 + [<802df8f8>] worker_thread+0x258/0x3c0 + [<801b5710>] kthread+0xe0/0xec + [<800418a8>] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x14/0x1c + +Fix this issue by adding a new status flag, which forbids to re-enable +the interrupt generation until the HW configuration is completed. + +Note: previous patch, which reorders the Rx disable code helps to avoid +the above warning, but not fixes the root cause of unexpected frame +receiving. + +CC: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> +CC: Nick Kossifidis <mickflemm@gmail.com> +CC: Luis R.
