Hi,
Somewhere between e8f60cd7db24 (v6.2-rc3) and 2eb29d59ddf0 (v6.3-rc1) my
wifi started dropping a lot. I'm using iwlwifi and I've checked the old
logs that the firmware hasn't changed:

36.e91976c0.0 8000C-36.ucode op_mode iwlmvm
My logs look like this:

I did see that somebody else reported a similar regression, but I don't
know if it could be the same problem or not (I see the driver is
different, but the fix looks generic):
https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/regression/217119/
The buggy commit that was identified there does seem to be within the
range of potential culprits:
$ git log --oneline e8f60cd7db24..2eb29d59ddf0 | grep resumption
4444bc2116ae wifi: mac80211: Proper mark iTXQs for resumption
If people think it's the same, I could try the proposed fix -- otherwise
let me know what else I can do to help track this down.
I don't think bisecting this is feasible for me since there are hours
between the drops. But it's really noticeable over the stretch of
multiple days that something has changed -- looking at the logs, the
disconnect rate has basically tripled.
Thanks,
Vegard

You are using a iwlwilf/mvm card. The fix we plan to merge for that
regression above won't help you. (mvm cards do not use the function we
serialized in the end. iwlwifi/dvm on the other uses it.)
But Johannes is working on a comparable issue affecting mvm cards.

That may well fix your issue.

[TLDR: I'm adding this report to the list of tracked Linux kernel
regressions; the text you find below is based on a few templates
paragraphs you might have encountered already in similar form.
See link in footer if these mails annoy you.]

Thanks for the report. Due to Alexander's reply I hesitated first to add
this regression to the tracking, as I wondered that this might solve
itself quickly. But well, nothing happened since then, so I guess I
better add it to ensure the issue doesn't fall through the cracks:
#regzbot ^introduced e8f60cd7db24..2eb29d59ddf0
#regzbot title iwlwifi: frequent drops between v6.2-rc3 and v6.3-rc1
#regzbot ignore-activity
This isn't a regression? This issue or a fix for it are already
discussed somewhere else? It was fixed already? You want to clarify when
the regression started to happen? Or point out I got the title or
something else totally wrong? Then just reply and tell me -- ideally
while also telling regzbot about it, as explained by the page listed in
the footer of this mail.
Developers: When fixing the issue, remember to add 'Link:' tags pointing
to the report (the parent of this mail). See page linked in footer for
details.

It's surprisingly quiet here...
Are these fixes helping? Honestly I'm not very optimistic.
I expect that this is something else...
If so, we can debug that here together.
For start, I would like to see the full logs, starting from the initial
(working) connect.
I also would like to get a confirmation, that by booting an older kernel
(v6.2-rc3 or older) the system gets stable again. (Not that
wpa_supplicant or the router got an update, too.)

Hi, Thorsten here, the Linux kernel's regression tracker. Top-posting
for once, to make this easily accessible to everyone.
Vegard, any news here? Is this still happening?
And out of curiosity: how often is "[wifi started] dropping a lot"
actually? I have seen occasional disconnects with iwlwifi myself, but I
have no idea what's causing them -- and I think it started earlier
already (and might have started when I switched to iwd, not sure). And
the error messages in the log only look similar in a few cases.
Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
