commit 7d73cd946d4bc7d44cdc5121b1c61d5d71425dea upstream. The incorrect timeout check caused probing to happen when it did not need to happen. This in turn caused tx performance drop for around 5 seconds in ath10k-ct driver. Possibly that tx drop is due to a secondary issue, but fixing the probe to not happen when traffic is running fixes the symptom.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
