Regression in linux-firmware-20250917 for mt7921e driver

Regression in linux-firmware-20250917 for mt7921e driver

[Sam James]

Hi,

I'm forwarding a downstream report in Gentoo from
https://bugs.gentoo.org/963106 which also came up in Arch at
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux-firmware/-/issues/29
and on the linux-firmware gitlab at
https://gitlab.com/kernel-firmware/linux-firmware/-/merge_requests/684.

The user describes it on the Arch bug as:
"""
core/linux-firmware-mediatek@20250917-1 causes network to fail startup
and dramatically slows down basically every operation in the kernel.

symptoms are a pegged kworker thread at 100% cpu util, shutdown being
prevented, extremely slow commands like sudo, filesystem access. I
suspect a interrupt storm of some sort.
"""

And another mentions that removing the module w/ modprobe -r mt7921e hangs.

thanks,
sam

It turns out that I myself do have such a machine, and here's the splat
I got in dmesg:

Hi Sam,

Would you please try "insmod mt7921_common disable_clc=1" 
to help us clarifying this issue ?

Re: Regression in linux-firmware-20250917 for mt7921e driver

[Ryan Walklin]

Hi,

I have a laptop with a mt7921e wifi chip (Lenovo Z13) and can confirm that firmware-20250917 prevents wifi from working, downgrading to the prior version from August or passing

"mt7921_common disable_clc=1"

restores functionality.

Also reported to Alpine - https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/17560

Thanks,

Ryan

[Jacek Łuczak]

Hi Allan,

I can confirm same issue with latest firmware my Asus[1] running Arch 
Linux[2]. I've downgraded to the previous version. Can you ping some 
details/docs on what exactly is that parameter disabling?

Cheers,

-Jacek
