Hello, I've previously sent a stack of similar patches (with no cover letter), starting at this patch:
[PATCH 01/14] mwifiex: pcie: properly synchronize, disable interrupts in driver callbacks http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1405062.html https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9747263/ They fixed several bugs related to the "reset" codepath in this driver, in which the driver tries to recover from a dead firmware, as well as making various code improvements (e.g., refactorings, removing redunancy, improving safety). There were some valid criticisms of the first patch in that series (and some real issues I hit with it later on in testing), and in the end, I believe the concern there was not actually appearing in practice, so in order to make some forward progress, I've dropped that patch (and related changes) from this series. I've kept most of the rest and added a few bugfixes along the way. Thanks to Johannes for some brainstorming/ideas that yielded the patch "mwifiex: unregister wiphy before freeing resources". Regards, Brian Brian Norris (20): mwifiex: reunite copy-and-pasted remove/reset code mwifiex: reset interrupt status across device reset mwifiex: pcie: don't allow cmd buffer reuse after reset mwifiex: re-register wiphy across reset mwifiex: unregister wiphy before freeing resources mwifiex: don't short-circuit netdev notifiers on interface deletion mwifiex: fixup init_channel_scan_gap error case mwifiex: ensure "disable auto DS" struct is initialized mwifiex: fix misnomers in mwifiex_free_lock_list() mwifiex: make mwifiex_free_cmd_buffer() return void mwifiex: utilize netif_tx_{wake,stop}_all_queues() mwifiex: don't open-code ARRAY_SIZE() mwifiex: drop 'add_tail' param from mwifiex_insert_cmd_to_pending_q() mwifiex: pcie: remove unnecessary masks mwifiex: pcie: unify MSI-X / non-MSI-X interrupt process mwifiex: debugfs: allow card_reset() to cancel things mwifiex: pcie: disable device DMA before unmapping/freeing buffers mwifiex: pcie: remove unnecessary 'pdev' check mwifiex: keep mwifiex_cancel_pending_ioctl() static mwifiex: drop num CPU notice drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c | 4 - drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfp.c | 4 +- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cmdevt.c | 15 +-- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/debugfs.c | 2 - drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/init.c | 32 ++---- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/main.c | 124 +++++++-------------- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/main.h | 7 +- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.c | 100 +++-------------- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c | 5 +- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/sta_cmd.c | 8 +- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/sta_cmdresp.c | 5 +- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/sta_ioctl.c | 6 +- 12 files changed, 87 insertions(+), 225 deletions(-) -- 2.14.0.rc0.284.gd933b75aa4-goog
