Newest devices have a new firmware load mechanism. This mechanism is called the context info. It means that the driver doesn't need to load the sections of the firmware. The driver rather prepares a place in DRAM, with pointers to the relevant sections of the firmware, and the firmware loads itself. At the end of the process, the firmware sends the ALIVE interrupt. This is different from the previous scheme in which the driver expected the FH_TX interrupt after each section being transferred over the DMA. In order to support this new flow, we enabled all the interrupts. This broke the assumption that we have in the code that the RF-Kill interrupt can't interrupt the firmware load flow. Change the context info flow to enable only the ALIVE interrupt, and re-enable all the other interrupts only after the firmware is alive. Then, we won't see the RF-Kill interrupt until then. Getting the RF-Kill interrupt while loading the firmware made us kill the firmware while it is loading and we ended up dumping garbage instead of the firmware state. Re-enable the ALIVE | RX interrupts from the ISR when we get the ALIVE interrupt to be able to get the RX interrupt that comes immediately afterwards for the ALIVE notification. This is needed for non MSI-X only. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com> |

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.
