[RFC PATCH 1/1] wifi: ath12k: avoid dynamic alloc when parsing wmi tb

Nicolas Escande
2026-02-26T16:55:23Z

On each WMI message received from the hardware, we alloc a temporary array
of WMI_TAG_MAX entries of type void *. This array is then populated with
pointers of parsed structs depending on the WMI type, and then freed. This
alloc can fail when memory pressure in the system is high enough.

Given the fact that it is scheduled in softirq with the system_bh_wq, we
should not be able to parse more than one WMI message per CPU at any time

So instead lets move to a per cpu allocated array, stored in the struct
ath12k_base, that is reused accros calls. The ath12k_wmi_tlv_parse_alloc()
is also renamed into / merged with ath12k_wmi_tlv_parse() as it no longer
allocs memory but returns the existing per-cpu one.
