Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/3] wifi: ath11k: make external IRQ control idempotent
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 23:58:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260719215817.2468580-3-wabsie@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260719215817.2468580-1-wabsie@gmail.com>

ath11k tracks each external IRQ group's NAPI lifecycle with napi_enabled,
but calls the physical IRQ enable and disable helpers outside the state
guards. Repeating a lifecycle disable therefore increments Linux's IRQ
disable depth on AHB and multi-MSI PCI even when NAPI is already
disabled. One later enable leaves the IRQ masked.

Move each physical group transition inside the matching NAPI state
transition. Preserve the ordering: mask IRQs before synchronizing and
disabling NAPI, then enable NAPI before unmasking IRQs. The outer
synchronize_irq() calls remain unchanged.

This makes sequential lifecycle transitions idempotent. It does not
change the temporary disable/enable pairing in interrupt handlers and
NAPI poll completion.

Fixes: d943fdad7589 ("ath11k: Fix napi related hang")
Fixes: bbfdc5a751a6 ("ath11k: Refactor PCI code to support WCN6750")
Tested-on: IPQ8074 hw2.0 AHB WLAN.HK.2.9.0.1-02146-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
