sample of the errors

Since upgrading kernel to 5.3.0, my journal is *flooded* with errors, but wifi still works. A sample (many more appear, up to several k lines).

Are you sure this is a duplicate? I did not get any errors in my journal before 5.3 kernel, e.g. with 5.2 series in arch linux.
Comment 3 Luca Coelho 2019-09-24 10:12:59 UTC
Yes, we have exactly the same signature:

Sep 21 18:42:18 ajax kernel: iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: 0x00000038 | BAD_COMMAND                 
[...]
Sep 21 18:42:18 ajax kernel: iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: FW error in SYNC CMD GEO_TX_POWER_LIMIT

You were probably using something lower than v5.2.9, which is the version that got the buggy patch.

It looks like arch linux had

but perhaps you are still right.

The best way to make sure is probably to take the patch I made and check if it now works for you. ;)
