+Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: Fix soft lockup during firmware crash/hw-restart
+
+During firmware crash (or) user requested manual restart
+the system gets into a soft lock up state because of the
+below root cause.
+
+During user requested hardware restart / firmware crash
+the system goes into a soft lockup state as 'napi_synchronize'
+is called after 'napi_disable' (which sets 'NAPI_STATE_SCHED'
+bit) and it sleeps into infinite loop as it waits for
+'NAPI_STATE_SCHED' to be cleared. This condition is hit because
+'ath10k_hif_stop' is called twice as below (resulting in calling
+'napi_synchronize' after 'napi_disable')
+
+'ath10k_core_restart' -> 'ath10k_hif_stop' (ATH10K_STATE_ON) ->
+-> 'ieee80211_restart_hw' -> 'ath10k_start' -> 'ath10k_halt' ->
+'ath10k_core_stop' -> 'ath10k_hif_stop' (ATH10K_STATE_RESTARTING)
+
+Fix this by calling 'ath10k_halt' in ath10k_core_restart itself
+as it makes more sense before informing mac80211 to restart h/w
+Also remove 'ath10k_halt' in ath10k_start for the state of 'restarting'
+
+Fixes: 3c97f5de1f28 ("ath10k: implement NAPI support")
