Subject: [PATCH 2/4] wifi: ath12k: do not wait in resume for a reset that cannot finish there
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 13:00:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112110008.1229-3-tvlad744@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112110008.1229-1-tvlad744@gmail.com>
ath12k_core_resume() waits up to 20 s for restart_completed. When the
firmware crashes during the cold boot started by
ath12k_core_resume_early(), ath12k_core_reset() powers MHI down, which
destroys the MHI channel devices, and up again. The driver core does
not probe the new devices before the system resume is over
(device_block_probing()), so QMI cannot come up and the restart cannot
complete while ath12k_core_resume() is waiting for it:
mhi mhi0: Wait for device to enter SBL or Mission mode
ath12k_wifi7_pci 0000:01:00.0: timeout while waiting for restart complete
ath12k_wifi7_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to resume core: -110
ath12k_wifi7_pci 0000:01:00.0: PM: dpm_run_callback(): pci_pm_resume returns -110
PM: suspend exit
ath12k_wifi7_pci 0000:01:00.0: fw_version 0x10097fff ...
The resume takes 20 s longer and fails.
Let ath12k_core_resume() go on as soon as a reset starts during the
resume. The restart then completes after the resume, as it does for a
crash at any other time.
Fixes: 8d5f4da8d70b ("wifi: ath12k: support suspend/resume")
