Would it be possible to silence or add a build variable to unable/disable some log messages from r8712u? I've been using the driver for quite some time and there is only a couple of bugs related to it. It works well and it's stable. However, I get plenty of the following in my logs: [ 3145.237706] r8712u 1-1:1.0 wlan0: r8712_got_addbareq_event_callback: mac = 96:0c:6d:f1:2e:b2, seq = 13184, tid = 0 [ 3166.746165] r8712u 1-1:1.0 wlan0: r8712_got_addbareq_event_callback: mac = 96:0c:6d:f1:2e:b2, seq = 17344, tid = 0 [ 3214.841270] r8712u 1-1:1.0 wlan0: r8712_got_addbareq_event_callback: mac = 96:0c:6d:f1:2e:b2, seq = 34960, tid = 0 [ 3228.618211] r8712u 1-1:1.0 wlan0: r8712_got_addbareq_event_callback: mac = 96:0c:6d:f1:2e:b2, seq = 35376, tid = 0 [ 3235.064626] r8712u 1-1:1.0 wlan0: r8712_got_addbareq_event_callback: mac = 96:0c:6d:f1:2e:b2, seq = 35408, tid = 0 [ 3273.671490] r8712u 1-1:1.0 wlan0: r8712_got_addbareq_event_callback: mac = 96:0c:6d:f1:2e:b2, seq = 40528, tid = 0 [ 3281.151590] r8712u 1-1:1.0 wlan0: r8712_got_addbareq_event_callback: mac = 96:0c:6d:f1:2e:b2, seq = 40560, tid = 0 They are pretty much useless and should be reported since they are not exposing any problem.
Created attachment 113391 [details] Patch to silence r8712u and add a verbose option if wanted It silences the slow flood that was happening by adding a verbose option under Kconfig.

That's find, I had figured it out. But thank you for the info Alan. I sent the patch to Larry Finger less than a week ago, but I've just realized that I forgot to add linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org. I'm submitting a slightly modified version.
