------------------ From: Olivier Langlois <oliv...@trillion01.com> commit f78bccd79ba3cd9d9664981b501d57bdb81ab8a4 upstream. rtl8192ce is disabling for too long the local interrupts during hw initiatialisation when performing scans The observable symptoms in dmesg can be: - underruns from ALSA playback - clock freezes (tstamps do not change for several dmesg entries until irqs are finaly reenabled): [ 250.817669] rtlwifi:rtl_op_config():<0-0-0> 0x100 [ 250.817685] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_phy_set_rf_power_state():<0-1-0> IPS Set eRf nic enable [ 250.817732] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.817796] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.817910] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818024] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818139] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818253] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818367] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:18051d59:11 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_init_mac():<0-1-0> reg0xec:98053f15:10 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:rtl92ce_sw_led_on():<0-1-0> LedAddr:4E ledpin=1 [ 250.818472] rtl8192c_common:rtl92c_download_fw():<0-1-0> Firmware Version(49), Signature(0x88c1),Size(32) [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:rtl92ce_enable_hw_security_config():<0-1-0> PairwiseEncAlgorithm = 0 GroupEncAlgorithm = 0 [ 250.818472] rtl8192ce:rtl92ce_enable_hw_security_config():<0-1-0> The SECR-value cc [ 250.818472] rtl8192c_common:rtl92c_dm_check_txpower_tracking_thermal_meter():<0-1-0> Schedule TxPowerTracking direct call!!

[Q]-0 (stream=0, delta=15903, new_hw_ptr=293408, old_hw_ptr=277505) The exact code flow that causes that is: 1. wpa_supplicant send a start_scan request to the nl80211 driver 2. mac80211 module call rtl_op_config with IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE 3. rtl_ips_nic_on is called which disable local irqs 4. rtl92c_phy_set_rf_power_state() is called 5. rtl_ps_enable_nic() is called and hw_init()is executed and then the interrupts on the device are enabled A good solution could be to refactor the code to avoid calling rtl92ce_hw_init() with the irqs disabled but a quick and dirty solution that has proven to work is to reenable the irqs during the function rtl92ce_hw_init(). I think that it is safe doing so since the device interrupt will only be enabled after the init function succeed.
