ath12k_core_panic_handler() is invoked via atomic_notifier_call_chain(), which runs inside an RCU read-side critical section. The current code calls ath12k_pci_sw_reset() synchronously from this context, which eventually reaches mhi_device_get_sync() and schedule_timeout(), triggering a voluntary context switch within RCU.

Revert change "wifi: ath12k: add panic handler" to avoid this issue.

Check	Status	Note
Subject matches upstream	⚠️	Cannot verify - lore.kernel.org unreachable; FROMLIST prefix present
Body preserves rationale	✅	Clear explanation with call trace and RCU context issue

Issues

• Missing Fixes tag: Revert commits should include Fixes: 809055628bce ("wifi: ath12k: add panic handler") to identify the commit being reverted
• Cannot verify upstream match: Network restrictions prevent fetching the lore.kernel.org patch for comparison; the Link tag points to a message-ID dated 2026-06-12 (today), suggesting this is a very recent or future submission

Verdict

Patch structure and rationale are sound; add Fixes tag before merging.

❌ Workflow Failure: Missing Required Checker Jobs

Root cause: The CI workflow failed because two required checker jobs (tag-check and qcom-next-check) did not execute or produce logs.

Failure details:

2026-06-12T09:15:52.8752551Z state="failure"
2026-06-12T09:15:52.8753110Z desc="Workflow failed"

The workflow directory name pr1357_no_jobs_20260612_092926 indicates that some jobs failed to run. Only 6 of the expected 8 checker jobs produced logs:

• ✅ Present: checkpatch, dt-binding-check, dtb-check, sparse-check, check-uapi-headers, check-patch-compliance
• ❌ Missing: tag-check, qcom-next-check

Fix:

1. Re-trigger the CI workflow to ensure all checker jobs execute
2. If the issue persists, investigate the GitHub Actions workflow configuration for job dependencies or runner availability issues
3. The tag-check and qcom-next-check jobs may have failed to start due to workflow orchestration issues

Reproduce locally:
The missing jobs cannot be reproduced locally as they didn't execute. However, you can validate the patch content manually:

# Verify FROMLIST prefix is present
git log --oneline -1 1ef96214f7065f54ae76a8ee6f001d479647d471

# Check for proper subject prefix
git show --format=%s 1ef96214f7065f54ae76a8ee6f001d479647d471

⚠️ checkpatch

Root cause: Commit message line 18 exceeds the recommended 75 character limit.

Failure details:

WARNING: Prefer a maximum 75 chars per line (possible unwrapped commit description?)
#18: 
ath12k_pci_panic_handler+0x20/0x44 [ath12k] ath12k_core_panic_handler+0x28/0x3c [ath12k]

1ef96214f7065f54ae76a8ee6f001d479647d471 total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 0 checks, 119 lines checked

Fix:
This is a call trace line in the commit message that documents the bug being fixed. This warning can typically be ignored for call traces, as they should not be reformatted. However, if you want to address it, you could wrap the line:

ath12k_pci_panic_handler+0x20/0x44 [ath12k]
ath12k_core_panic_handler+0x28/0x3c [ath12k]

Reproduce locally:

Verdict

2 blockers to fix: The workflow failed due to missing required checker jobs (tag-check and qcom-next-check). The checkpatch warning is non-blocking as it's a call trace in the commit message. Action required: Re-trigger the CI workflow to ensure all checker jobs execute successfully.
