the interesting part is that, at the moment, i'm back to a 4.4. kernel (4.4.0-98-generic #121) and linux-firmware 1.169 works fine with it.

[Paolo Pisati (p-pisati)]

Since LP wrapped up the kernel messages above, here is the full kernel.log.

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot (ubuntu-kernel-bot)]

This change was made by a bot.

[Paolo Pisati (p-pisati)]

Here is another confirmation of this bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1490172

and downgrading to a previous version of linux-firmware (as suggested above, and to xenial-updates in my case), made the problem disappear:

$ dpkg -l | grep linux-firmware
ii linux-firmware 1.157.13 all Firmware for Linux kernel drivers

[Wren Turkal (wt-penguintechs-org)]

The updated firmware used in the bionic branch of the linux-firmware packages git repo seems to fix this problem entirely for me.

[Wren Turkal (wt-penguintechs-org)]

To be clear, I did this:

FWIW, I did the following:

$ git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/linux-firmware.git
...
$ cd linux-firmware
$ git checkout bionic
...
$ sudo cp ath10k/QCA6147/hw3.0/* /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6147/hw3.0/

Then I rebooted.

The new firmware seems to drop my connections much less frequently. Perhaps upgrading the firmware in the linux-firmware package is the right solution here.

[Wren Turkal (wt-penguintechs-org)]

Before pulling in the new firmware, I tried the upstream kernel per the wiki instructions I found in the Ubuntu wiki. The same problem existed there. Now, I am running the artful kernel with the bionic firmware files that I manually copied over as indicated above.

[Scott Jacobi (plotor)]

I tried what Wren tried, but this did not fix the problem for me. I replaced the entire QCA6147 directory, not just hw3.0. Still no luck.

dmesg output, lspci -vv, modinfo ath10k_pci

Description of problem:
After a certain time running (probably every several hours), the ath10k_pci driver crashes and the wireless device stops working. Setting wlan to off and on again will make it work again. This bug was first seen since the last kernel upgrade (from 4.15.9 to 4.15.10). Maybe related to bug 1490172.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- Linux HOSTNAME 4.15.10-300.fc27.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Mar 15 17:13:04 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- linux-firmware.noarch 20171215-82.git2451bb22.fc27
- Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32)
- Dell XPS 13 9370 laptop

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade kernel to 4.15.10
2. Use the ath10k_pci driver with the jQualcomm Atheros network card
3. Wait and see

Actual results:

[V-Mark (vertesmark)]

I face very similar problem, but I have v2.1 hardware of QCA6174 (I assume you do not have QCA6147 neither).
I installed Kubuntu Bionic Beaver (18.04) from fresh.

I still face the firmware crash IF (and only if) I switch off / hibernate my laptop with active WIFI connection.
If I switch off wifi before hibernate, everything is perfect.

[Aydin K. (akocas)]

I'm having still (06/2018, Ubuntu 18.04, latest linux-firmware) the issue with the crashing ath10k_pci firmware, mostly after the laptop goes to suspend mode.

My workaround currently is restarting it via:

    sudo rmmod ath10k_pci
    sudo modprobe ath10k_pci
    sudo ifup -a

[DooMMasteR (winrootkit-w)]

For me the firmware also crashes on a
> 02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32)

And it is always the same log.

I changed nothing on my wifi, so the issue must have been introduced by some change in ubuntu.

[Steph Gosling (n-steph)]

I'd made precisely one change to the config on the XPS9370; which was to add deep sleep to the kernel boot parameters for grub, vis.

```
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash mem_sleep_default=deep"
```

as otherwise this device didn't always sleep on lid close. I'm going to revert that (and pay attention to the hot laptop) and see if it happens, though I appreciate it won't be a huge step forward in narrowing this down.

[DooMMasteR (winrootkit-w)]

I have never had problems wit heat or sleep, so I would see this issue completely unrelated.

Also it did work for me, fine, for months in the past and I changed nothing to the system.

[royden (ryts)]

For those on Bionic and who recently met the trouble, try down-grading linux-firmware to 1.73 from 1.73.1. Test.

I have a different wifi chipset and met problems wifi with the update solved by the downgrading.
 Of course, YMMV. If this helps, then a new bug report must be filed for each chipset and v1.73.1.

[royden (ryts)]

PS: kernel 4.15.0-33 will not work with the downgraded linux-firmware, but 4.15.0-32 and earlier will.

[Steph Gosling (n-steph)]

The deep sleep kernel command-line parameter had no discernible effect.

The laptop ran for me for 3 days on mains without the firmware crashing and now just has after the first sleep. This was running 1.173.1 firmware so I will now downgrade and test.

[Steph Gosling (n-steph)]

running firmware 1.173 the problem persists.

For me this is resolved and was probably caused by myself: After 'dnf upgrade' (from command line), when firmware updates were installed, I did not restart immediately every time. Since I'm doing this, I've never had this issue again...

Thanks for all your good work,

I had tried hard-setting the channels and bands but nothing affected it on my Linksys WRT1200AC even with moving it around the house and using extenders. At my co-working space I rarely had the issue on a Netgear Nighthawk.

I replaced the router and added extender with a Nighthawk X10 and Nighthawk X6S mesh extender and things seem to have stopped the drops entirely for me.

I know replacing the router isn't a solution, but thought it might give some ideas as to possibly being in the way the routers and the signals are read by the firmware.

Same here on Dell XPS 13 9370 running Fedora 29. The solution from the Arch Linux Forums[1] seems to help, i.e. running:

echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/rescan

Same, XPS 15 9575 running Fedora 29
linux-firmware-20181219-89.git0f22c852.fc28.src.rpm

For me it goes out a few times a day, started fairly recently. `rmmod ath10k_pci` seems to lock everything up completely (tried to reload it at first). Restarting each time "works" but requires a hard reset (shutdown hangs on firewalld).

Haven't tried the rescan trick yet.

[sebastian.treu (sebastian.treu-redhat-bugs)]

Hi all, it's worth to mention that for me the problem is gone after a colleague, which had the same laptopt model as they are bought in batches by the company I work at, quit the job and before he returns the laptop I asked if we could switch the wifi card.

After changing wifi cards (same model, same card) the problem is gone completely (3 months). I'm not directly saying that this is a hardware issue, but I'm stating that changing the wifi card for another one which is the same model, the problem is gone.

[sebastian.treu (sebastian.treu-redhat-bugs)]

I will update this. Problem is back. After a while of not having any issues, they're back now with the wifi card from the other lenovo laptop:

I have the same problem o Debian with firmware ver RM.4.4.1.c2-00057-QCARMSWP-1 api 6, but I finally managed to reset the device without reboot:

    # remove faulty module:
    sudo modprobe -r ath10k_pci
    # lspci shows card being in the slot 03:00.0
    # tried resetting first, didn't help. Probably irrelevant:
    echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:00.0/reset
    # remove device:
    echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:00.0/remove
    # rescan PCI:
    echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/rescan
    # probably irrelevant:

I am seeing this occur on 16.04 and that too only on my home network. I am using a D-Link DIR-150M router. Hope this helps in solving this bug.

[Steph Gosling (n-steph)]

I have had some success (3 suspends now and not a crash) by using a newer version of the firmware from upstream, specifically this version: https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/blob/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/4.4.1.c2/firmware-6.bin_RM.4.4.1.c2-00057-QCARMSWP-1

Download that, and replace the file /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin with it then rebuild your initrd (update-initramfs -uk all) and reboot. Obviously that is not going to survive an upgrade of linux-firmware when it comes, but that version works for me, at least.

Created attachment 1601215
Fedora 30 ath10k firmware crash: `journalctl -b -1` for the relevant boot

grep ath10k to find the most relevant entries

[aGgM6kTti (aggm6ktti-redhat-bugs)]

Can we please re-open this bug? Because it's back!

I just upgraded from Fedora 29 to Fedora 30 and find I'm unable to use the wireless card under the 5.2.5-200.fc30.x86_64 kernel that came with the upgrade. It still works under kernel 5.1.20.fc29.x86_64

The apparent cause of the failure is in the ath10k_pci driver which crashes at regular intervals but never seems able to recover, essentially as described in this bug report.

Disabling and re-enabling the wireless does not restore functionality.

The hardware is a Dell XPS 9550.

I've attached my system logs showing the firmware crash. Let me know what else might be useful and I can get it for you.

[TomaszChmielewski (mangoo-wpkg)]

This problem happens for me, with newest firmware, newest kernel, as of today - but turns out only in the following situation:

- wireless router supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz
- same SSID name is used for both ranges

I.e. after disabling 5 GHz support on the router, the wifi card no longer crashes. Hope it helps anyone who wants a stable connection.

[Shahar Or (mightyiam)]

@mangoo-wpkg, that seems like valuable information upstream. Does anyone know the procedure to get it upstream, please?

[lolziac (labinoth)]

On Ubuntu 18.04 I'm having issues such connection drop/resets with USB device TL-WN822N-v1.1 - Atheros AR-9170 firmware

By applying @n-steph and @mangoo-wpkg method, it seems the issues are gone.

Note: With only @n-steph I had fever issues but still issues were present.
Following @mangoo-wpkg method - disabling 5 GHz support on the router, I didn't have any more crashes.

Thanks,
