iwlwifi: fix RF-Kill interrupt while FW load for gen2 devices
Newest devices have a new firmware load mechanism. This mechanism is called the context info. It means that the driver doesn't need to load the sections of the firmware. The driver rather prepares a place in DRAM, with pointers to the relevant sections of the firmware, and the firmware loads itself. At the end of the process, the firmware sends the ALIVE interrupt. This is different from the previous scheme in which the driver expected the FH_TX interrupt after each section being transferred over the DMA. In order to support this new flow, we enabled all the interrupts. This broke the assumption that we have in the code that the RF-Kill interrupt can't interrupt the firmware load flow. Change the context info flow to enable only the ALIVE interrupt, and re-enable all the other interrupts only after the firmware is alive. Then, we won't see the RF-Kill interrupt until then. Getting the RF-Kill interrupt while loading the firmware made us kill the firmware while it is loading and we ended up dumping garbage instead of the firmware state. Re-enable the ALIVE | RX interrupts from the ISR when we get the ALIVE interrupt to be able to get the RX interrupt that comes immediately afterwards for the ALIVE notification. This is needed for non MSI-X only. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>
