Description Alex Zhavnerchik 2010-01-24 12:27:11 UTC
I have following warning in my kernel.log, don't really know what does this mean. If I can make my report more helpful please instruct me how to do it.

I'm not sure if this is a regression but I think in previous versions I did'n see such warnings

Comment 1 Reinette Chatre 2010-01-25 21:08:45 UTC
Your report title says "iwl_bg_scan_completed: sleeping under locks" - what does the warning you copied into your description have to do with sleeping under locks?
Comment 2 Alan 2010-01-25 21:19:27 UTC
Misread the trace
Comment 3 Reinette Chatre 2010-01-25 21:33:47 UTC
A few questions:

- Are there any errors or driver log messages before this trace?
- How do you trigger this trace? Is it easy to reproduce? Do you see it often? If this is easy to reproduce, could you load driver with debugging (modprobe iwlagn debug=0x43fff)?
- Which userspace application are you using to manage your wireless connection? Could it be doing something to trigger this? Is it possible to add some debugging (with timestamps) to coordinate what the application and kernel is doing?

I didn't do anything to trigger this trace specifically. As I noticed most times it happened just before I do s2disk, you can see this in my log above. I'll post  log with debug bit later.

I use wicd to manage wireless. I attached all my kernel and wicd logs to this ticket.
Comment 6 Reinette Chatre 2010-01-28 23:13:01 UTC
Unfortunately the logs you provided does not contain any debugging information. This is because your driver has not been compiled with debug support. Could you please recompile with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG and reproduce the logs?
Comment 7 Alex Zhavnerchik 2010-01-29 09:30:26 UTC
Sorry, I can't provide more info now. Something broke in my system and now
2.6.33 boots with black screen, I'll provide more info when I restore my
system

Fix deferred scan requests

I was able to reproduce this problem. Please test the attached patch when you can.
Thank you
Comment 9 Alex Zhavnerchik 2010-02-02 22:41:30 UTC
Sorry. I can't reproduce it last 3 days after I updated to 2.6.33-rc6, but if I'll notice this warning again - I'll try your patch. 

Thanks for attention to my report.
Comment 10 Reinette Chatre 2010-02-03 16:52:14 UTC
Johannes posted a better fix to linux-wireless. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/46260

You are not able to reproduce this anymore but since we were able to reproduce the problem and create a fix I will proceed to close this bug. Please open a new bug report if you run into this issue while running with the fix.

Note You need to log in before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
