    ath10k: reduce warning messages during rx without proper channel context · 3b0499e9
    Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan authored
    WARN_ON_ONCE when we receive packets for self peer when mac80211
    had not assigned a proper channel context. This scenario happens
    in QCA4019 when we start the AP via hostapd in background and start
    it once again in the background without killing the previous instance!
    This happens intermittently when we start / stop hostapd in a while loop
    (incase the hostapd is not properly killed).  This results in mac80211
    chancontext to be unassigned, while the self peer continuous receive
    packets in target operating channel. This results in lot of call traces
    in the rx path. Make this as a WARN_ON_ONCE to avoid flooding the console
    which result in rebooting low memory systems, while still reporting the
    warning once that we are receiving packets in target operating channel and
    to indicate that something is happening which is not the expected result.
