Description Dominique Leuenberger 2014-10-17 14:47:42 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #891645 +++

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0

openSUSE 13.2 will NOT be shipping the 3.17 kernel, which has been checked in to Factory with the fix of bug 891645

This means that 13.2 USERS of Centrino-6x00 cards will be affected by this issue now in a final product.

We will need a fix in the Kernel 3.16.x stable branch of openSUSE 13.2

According to Jiri this is about impossible to backport ;(

This is maybe too bold statement. Luis, I think, has a better insight?

Takashi backported the requested firmware request changes to let us get rid of the udev firmware loading for SLE12 so I do believe we can get this on OpenSUSE as well, and probably should. In the meantime drivers that don't want to use udev helper explicitly can use request_firmware_direct() on older kernels.
Comment 6 Dominique Leuenberger 2014-10-17 17:03:19 UTC 
bug 900710 relates to this one (same issue, different module, nouveau)
Comment 7 Takashi Iwai 2014-10-20 08:33:47 UTC 
If we don't need to freeze kABI at this point, it should be easy to backport.  It's just a backport of commit 5a1379e8748a5cfa3eb068f812d61bde849ef76c, and *disable* a new Kconfig CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK.

Let me know if it's OK to do the above at this late stage.
Comment 8 Stephan Kulow 2014-10-20 08:56:07 UTC 
I had hopes we could give the 3rd party repos a green light for stable kernel ABI, but if the bug is so severe I'm fine with waiting ;(
Comment 9 Takashi Iwai 2014-10-20 09:00:07 UTC 
The kABI change would be minimal (request_firmware_direct() becomes inlined or unlinined), and on x86 default and desktop kernels, there won't be even any change, I guess.
Comment 10 Stephan Kulow 2014-10-20 10:38:29 UTC 
Even better
Comment 11 Takashi Iwai 2014-10-20 12:06:31 UTC 
OK, pushed now to openSUSE-13.2 git branch.
Comment 12 Forgotten User 5x9cKIYF8b 2014-10-31 16:03:23 UTC 
When is this fix expected to land in 13.2?
