There's no need for a raw spinlock in this driver as it doesn't do anything in hardirq context on -rt. Some of the critical sections guarded by these locks are long and contain unbounded loops so there is a risk of raw spinlocks causing latency spikes on -rt. The existing code is broken with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT anyway as only a subset of the functions that depend on lock type are covered by the preprocessor #if/#else blocks. Remove the special-case for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@metanate.com>
rtl8723ds
Linux driver for RTL8723DS. This repo is derived from Realtek Version v5.1.1.5_20523_20161209_BTCOEX20161208-1212. It has been modified to build cleanly for kernels through v5.9.
Run the following commands in the Linux terminal.
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723ds.git
cd rtl8723ds
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -v 8723ds
b. Non Concurrent Mode
If you do not want two devices (station and an access point) separately, then follow these instructions.
Step - 1: Run the following commands in the Linux terminal.
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723ds.git
cd rtl8723ds
nano Makefile
Step - 2: Find the line that contains EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_CONCURRENT_MODE and insert a # symbol at the beginning of that line.
This comments that line and disables concurrent mode.
Step - 3: Now, run the following commands in the same Linux terminal.
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -v 8723ds
