• [6.1] regression in net/mac80211/rx.c causing mt76x2u to freeze the sys

    From Florian Rehnisch@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 23 19:30:01 2023
    Hi folks,

    I have an issue with both linux-image-6.1.0-1-amd64/6.1.4-1 and linux-image-6.1.0-2-amd64/6.1.7-1. I have a
    | Bus 002 Device 007: ID 057c:8503 AVM GmbH FRITZ!WLAN AC 860
    stick, and a soon as this gets traffic, the system silently freezes
    (i.e. no Kernel Panic at tty1).

    I researched a bit and found a discussion in the Arch forum, and also an
    issue in the upstream bugzilla, mentioning a patch.

    I applied that patch against linux-source/6.1.7-1, built it, and it
    fixed the freeze. That patch is also mainlined (for 6.2rc5 I guess).

    What should I do now? Sorry for the noise.

    Greetings, Florian
