 Posted: Tue Jan 28, 2020 11:12 pm Post subject: iwlwifi Fails On Kernel 5.5.0 [solved] |
 |
|
I just updated to 5.5 and discovered that the iwlwifi module crashes every time it's loaded on my Motile m142. It works fine under 5.4.15.

I'm not really sure where to go with this. Report a kernel bug? (I've never attempted it before.) I haven't seen any other iwlwifi issues on a cursory search.

Found the bug report, and patch. I'm trying it out.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206329
Edit: Yow! Don't use that patch!
It not only didn't start my wifi, it prevented the laptop from booting after the first use of the new kernel. I think it killed the efi boot record somehow. I got out my rescue drive, chroot'ed in, reinstalled grub, and everything's working under the older kernel again. /sigh
Edit 2: The patch was not responsible for the boot issues. That seems to happen irregularly when I reboot the machine several times in a row. It hasn't happened yet when I shutdown and then restart. Maybe that's supposed to be a feature? |

It won't make you feel better, but same here, wifi is jinxed on my Asrock X299 Taichi XE, I reverted to 5.4.
Not only that, but my whole VFIO setup for GPU passthrough is gone: IOMMU groups not recognized anymore, dmesg complains about a firmware bug and I should contact (Asrock?) for an update. Well, was working fine since 4.18 or so... What a train wreck. |

It looks like they made some major changes to the iwlwifi driver, to make it work more closely with acpi -- which never worked very well on my systems. It's definitely over my head.
Fortunately, the old driver still works in the new kernel. I may have to make another ebuild for it at this rate. |

That specific error message with any 3168 series device should be fixed by this patch:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11353871/
I'm not sure how long it will take for this patch to work it's way into an official stable release. But until it does, apply that patch and you'll be good to go. |

Unfortunately, that patch didn't help me much. My Motile is failing at an earlier change (39c1a9728f93: refactor the SAR tables from mvm to acpi), which is a lot more complicated. I can't even get 5.5-rc2 to work.
For now, I can use the old driver, but I suspect I'll have to replace this wlan before it's all done. I'm trying to decide if I should go with another intel model (I keep reading about how compatible they are with linux, despite the current changes), or an atheros card. I've never had a serious problem with atheros. |

I'm sorry to hear you are hitting another issue also. For people who are only seeing the problem with the phy_sku error, the patch will definitely fix that problem. For instance, anyone who had a working system on 5.5-rc7 that broke with the phy_sku error when updating to the 5.5.0 release, they'll benefit from the patch.
But I do wonder if the issue you are facing might be at least partly a firmware problem. I vaguely recall seeing BAD_COMMAND type errors when with iwlwifi in the past when the firmware version and kernel version weren't compatible. Might be worth checking if there is a linux-firmware update available for your system. |

Intel says to look for newer firmware in the kernel tree. Unfortunately for me, the iwlwifi blobs are all in gentoo's linux-firmware already and installed on my system.
Edit: It seems like every time I touch an intel chip these days, some huge bug floats to the surface. : ) |

I looks as though gentoo-sources 5.5.2-r1 has added the above patch, which should fix most people's problems with iwlwifi on the AC3168.
The motile's 3168 still doesn't work because of the BAD COMMAND error introduced earlier, so I'm still using the old driver. |

For those who still get a BAD_COMMAND error, there is a very simple work-around patch at the kernel.org bug report:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206479
Or, just copy this to /etc/portage/patches/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.5.2/fix-iwlwifi-on-motile.patch:

| gentoo-sources-5.6.0 appears to have fixed the BAD COMMAND problem. I no longer need any patches on the motile. |
