First bad commit: ff643b81bc38eaff6c0ab783a62e4ba9e10d2476 wifi: mt76: mt7925: pass mlink and mconf to sta_mld_tlv() Sean Wang, 2026-03-06 https://patch.msgid.link/20260306232238.2039675-4-sean.wang@kernel.org Bisected on vanilla, path-restricted to drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7925/, using v7.0 as good and v7.1 as bad. Each step was booted and tested with MLO active (5GHz+6GHz, FritzBox 5690 Pro), and every "bad" verdict was confirmed by the WFDMA0 signature (tail frozen while head keeps advancing), not just by the connection dropping.   ea757740dd87  pass WCID indices to bss_basic_tlv()      good (45 min clean)   ff643b81bc38  pass mlink and mconf to sta_mld_tlv()     bad (freeze after ~4 min)   dc019e3294c7  pass mlink to mcu_sta_update()            bad (freeze after ~3 min)   9e4d518a4707  pass mlink to mac_link_sta_remove()       bad (freeze after ~4 min)   cf9db836b1e0  pass mlink to set_link_key()              bad (freeze after ~4 min) git bisect log and the incident logs for each step are available if useful - happy to attach them to the bugzilla ticket or send them here. Let me know if you want anything else tested.
