dmesg log cut-out

I have a Dell Latitude 7350 with an Intel Wireless-AC 7265 adapter.

Wi-Fi works as expected after the system is booted, until it is first suspended. When the system resumes, the iwlwifi driver throws this kernel warning (dmesg cut-out is attached):

  Timeout waiting for hardware access (CSR_GP_CNTRL 0xffffffff)

Then Wi-Fi will no longer works until the system is rebooted; unloading and reloading the iwlmvm/iwlwifi modules does not seem to help anything.

This behavior is fully consistent when using any kernel version 4.19.y packaged for Fedora 28 (including 4.19.6-200 in updates-testing). By downgrading to kernel version 4.18.18, the problem completely disappears.

Comment 1 David Ward 2018-12-19 16:45:05 UTC
Kernel package maintainers:

Please let me know what additional information you need to triage this issue. If you would prefer I can try to reproduce this with Fedora 29, Fedora Rawhide, and/or Arch Linux using a live DVD.

I'm finding this regression to be disruptive for day-to-day use of my laptop. I have to reboot it any time it goes to sleep. I'm honestly surprised I haven't come across other reports of this yet, because the Intel Wi-Fi chipset is very common.

Thank you.

This is upstream bug 201469, and it persists in kernel 4.20.

Comment 3 David Ward 2019-03-24 16:43:26 UTC
The fix has been committed upstream for inclusion in Linux 5.1, and has already landed in stable releases Linux 5.0.4 and Linux 4.19.31.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/pci/probe.c?id=10ecc818ea7319b5d0d2b4e1aa6a77323e776f76

Currently, Fedora 29 has kernel 5.0.3 in updates-testing. Please bump to 5.0.4.
