SubjectRe: 3.1+ iwlwifi lockup
From
Hi

I looked again at your stack strace, we need more debug. Please enable
Rx debug flag: 0x1000000.

What is happening here is that the HW (the Flow Handler for instance),
is closing an empty RB (Receive Buffer). The beginning of the buffer
is 0x00005555 which is the maker of "End of Buffer" of the Flow
Handler. The marker helps the driver to understand that there is no
more useful data in the buffer.
So basically what we are seeing here is that the FH is sending an
empty buffer. Which is not nice.
This can very well be a bug in the read / write pointers in the Rx
flow, or something in that region.
