Hello,
I wanted to see if I could have two patches backported to 5.15 stable that concern Intel iwlwifi AX2XX stability.
The patches are attached to the kernel bugzilla that can be found here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214549. I've also attached them to this email.
The patches fix an issue with the Intel AX210 that I have where it can cause a firmware reset when the device is under load causing performance to drop to around ~500Kb/s till the interface is restarted. This reset is easy to reproduce during normal use such as streaming videos and is problematic for devices such as laptops that primarily use wifi for connectivity.
The mac80211 change is currently in the 5.16 RC and the scan timeout is in netdev-next and is supposed to be scheduled for 5.17 from what I can tell.
I believe that the patches meet the requirements of the -stable tree
as it makes the adapter for many users including myself difficult to use reliably.
The mac80211 change was/is marked for stable@ and is already in 5.15.11
the scan timeout is only in a -next tree (as you already noted), so it cant land in 5.15 stable until it is also in linus tree...

Hi Thomas,
Thank you. I missed the fact that the mac80211 change was already tagged for stable. I will keep an eye for the other change to land in linus' tree and submit it for stable if it isn't submitted by the maintainer.
