a6bd005fe9 iwlwifi: pcie: fix RF-Kill vs. firmware load race
When we load the firmware, we hold trans_pcie->mutex to
avoid nested flows. We also rely on the ISR to wake up the
thread when the DMA has finished copying a chunk. During
this flow, we enable the RF-Kill interrupt.

The problem is that the RF-Kill interrupt handler can take
the mutex and bring the device down. This means that if
we load the firmware while the RF-Kill switch is enabled
(which will happen when we load the INIT firmware to read
the device's capabilities and register to mac80211), we
may get an RF-Kill interrupt immediately and the ISR will
be waiting for the mutex held by the thread that is
currently loading the firmware. At this stage, the ISR
won't be able to service the DMA's interrupt needed to
wake up the thread that load the firmware. We are in a
deadlock situation which ends when the thread that loads
the firmware fails on timeout and releases the mutex.

To fix this, take the mutex later in the flow, disable
the interrupts and synchronize_irq() to give a chance to
the RF-Kill interrupt to run and complete.
After that, mask all the interrupts besides the DMA
interrupt and proceed with firmware load. Make sure to
check that there was no RF-Kill interrupt when the
interrupts were disabled.

ilw@linux.intel.com is not available anymore.
linuxwifi@intel.com should be used instead.

f02d2ccd61 iwlwifi: pcie: remove pointer from debug message
Since this pointer is not shown anywhere else, it's useless.
Remove it, just keeping the indexes.

This message isn't very useful and presents a security risk
due to the use of %p - remove it.

6c4fbcbc1c iwlwifi: add support for 12K Receive Buffers
802.11ac allows A-MSDU that can be up to 12KB long. Since
an entire A-MSDU needs to fit into one single Receive
Buffer (RB), add support for big RBs.
Since this adds lots of pressure to the memory manager and
significantly increase the true_size of the RX buffers,
don't enable this by default.
