From 54a5b38e4396530e5b2f12b54d3844e860ab6784 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kang Yang Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 14:17:37 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath10k: skip WMI and beacon transmission when device is wedged In ath10k_wmi_cmd_send(), the current code detects ATH10K_STATE_WEDGED and sets ret to -ESHUTDOWN, but still proceeds to transmit pending beacons and calls ath10k_wmi_cmd_send_nowait(). This can lead to incorrect behavior, as WMI commands and beacons are still sent after the device has been marked as wedged, and the original -ESHUTDOWN return value may be overwritten by the result of the send path. The wedged state indicates the hardware is already unreliable, and no further interaction with firmware is expected or meaningful in this state. Fix this by skipping beacon transmission and the WMI send path entirely once ATH10K_STATE_WEDGED is detected, ensuring consistent return values and avoiding unnecessary firmware interaction.
