The shared area is a DMA memory allocated in the host and mapped so that the host and the CSME firmware can exchange data. It is mapped through a dedicated PCI device that is driven by the mei bus driver. The bus driver is in charge of allocating and mapping this memory. It also needs to configure the CSME firmware with a specific set of commands, so that the CSME firmware will know that this memory is meant to be used by its internal WLAN module. For this, the CSME firmware first needs to completely initialize its WLAN module and only then get the mapping request. The problem is that the mei bus enumeration completes before the WLAN is completely ready. This means that the WLAN module's initialization is racing with iwlmei's allocation and mapping flow. Testing showed a problem in resume flows where iwlmei was too fast and the DMA mapping failed. Add a retry mechanism to make sure that we will succeed to map the memory. Fixes: |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
