Disabling threaded NAPI causes the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s to hang (e.g. no
more interrupts received) almost immediately during RX.

Apparently something broke since commit 13aa2fb692d3 ("wifi: ath11k:
Enable threaded NAPI") so that a simple revert is no longer possible.


This is getting as weird as it would get :)

As commit d265ebe41c91 ("Revert "wifi: ath11k: Enable threaded NAPI"")
does not address the underlying issue reported with QCN9074, it seems we
need to reenable threaded NAPI before fixing both bugs properly.


It seems that the revert has actually solved the issue reported with QCN9074.

We were trying to reproduce the problem on X86+QCN9074 (with threaded NAPI) from quite some time, but there is no repro yet.

Actually, enabling/disabling threaded NAPI is a simple affair; I'm wondering to hear that interrupts are blocked due to not having threaded NAPI.

What is the chip that Lenovo Thinkpad X13s is having?

Thanks,
