From: Mohammed Afifi In AP mode the reserved page (which contains the beacon) is downloaded to the chip by rtw_fw_write_data_rsvd_page(). That function writes the data via rtw_hci_write_data_rsvd_page() and then immediately polls the hardware BCN_VALID bit to confirm the firmware accepted the beacon. On USB, rtw_usb_write_data_rsvd_page() ends up in rtw_usb_write_port(), which submits the URB with usb_submit_urb() and returns as soon as the transfer is queued. The completion callback only frees the skb. As a result the BCN_VALID poll can run while the beacon is still in flight on the bus, and the poll times out even though the download itself is fine. This shows up as: rtw_8822bu: error beacon valid rtw_8822bu: failed to download drv rsvd page The failure is intermittent because the poll retries sometimes cover the transfer time. It occurs in bursts when something triggers repeated beacon updates, such as stations associating and disassociating. Fix this by adding a synchronous bulk-out helper that waits for the URB to complete, and using it for the reserved page download. Only the reserved page / beacon path is made synchronous; the normal data TX path is left untouched, so throughput is unaffected. The reserved page download runs in process context under rtwdev->mutex, so sleeping there is safe.
