    ath10k: fix interrupt storm · 54846213
    Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan 提交于
    Promiscuous mode is enabled when wlan interface is added to
    bridge. ath10k creates a monitor mode when promiscuous mode
    is enabled. When monitor vdev is running along with other
    vdev(s) there is a huge number of interrupts generated
    especially in noisy condition. Fix this by not enabling
    promiscuous(monitor) mode when already a vdev is running.
    As disabling promiscuous mode may have issues with 4-address
    bridging in STA mode, the change is done specific to non-sta/ibss
    mode types. This does not change the support of virtual interface of
    type monitor along with other vdevs of any type.
    
    This could fix management frame drop in fw due to unavailable
    buffers because in monitor mode device receives everything seen
    on the air. In noisy condition, disabling monitor mode helps assoc
    go through without any issue.
