Re: [RFC PATCH] i2c-designware-core: disable adapter before fill dev structure
Hello, As promised, I gave this one some over-night stress testing and I can confirm what I said previously: - The patch does _not_ solve the interrupt loop lockups on its own. - The patch works well in conjunction with http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/249622/ (which in turn depends on Mika's patch). Under this condition you can assume Tested-By: Christian Ruppert christian.rupp...@abilis.com I still think the code is more logical with this patch than without it and I am in favour of applying both (if Andy agrees that is). We must keep in mind, however, that http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/249622 does fix a real problem we can observe on our chip and for our TB10x product we do require some form of it for stability reasons.

I feel like a real fix is to add a memory barier to make changes in the structure consistent. However, I have no clue where. I'm still not sure about the interrupt behaviour of the dw-i2c block in the case of error (and since our problem is fixed it's difficult to justify spending time to investigate further). I suspect that the thing in some situations sends spurious interrupts which confuse the state machine - in which case memory barriers won't help us either.

Although I almost like Andy's code better than my own it doesn't seem to fix the issue we're aiming at (system lock ups due to undesired interrupts) in all cases. The [V2] i2c: designware: fix race between subsequent xfers is currently the only patch preventing those lock ups in our tests. That said, IMHO Andy's patch seems to be a valuable code clean up nevertheless and could be applied in addition to the other. I suggest I give the combination of both patches some additional testing on the occasion and tag Andy's RFC with tested-by me in case it's stable.
