From: Bryan Freed <bfr...@chromium.org> spi_pump_messages() calls into a controller driver with unprepare_transfer_hardware() which is documented as "This may sleep". As in the prepare_transfer_hardware() call below, we should release the queue_lock spinlock before making the call. Rework the logic a bit to hold queue_lock to protect the 'busy' flag, then release it to call unprepare_transfer_hardware().

I haven't gone through an reproduced the original bug on ToT but I believe that this patch is still required. Perhaps it could land somewhere? ;) Thanks! drivers/spi/spi.c | 15 +++++++-------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/spi/spi.c b/drivers/spi/spi.c index f996c60..5b96250 100644 --- a/drivers/spi/spi.c +++ b/drivers/spi/spi.c @@ -543,17 +543,16 @@ static void spi_pump_messages(struct kthread_work *work) /* Lock queue and check for queue work */ spin_lock_irqsave(&master->queue_lock, flags); if (list_empty(&master->queue) || !master->running) { - if (master->busy && master->unprepare_transfer_hardware) { - ret = master->unprepare_transfer_hardware(master); - if (ret) { - spin_unlock_irqrestore(&master->queue_lock, flags); - dev_err(&master->dev, - "failed to unprepare transfer hardware\n"); - return; - } + if (!master->busy) { + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&master->queue_lock, flags); + return; } master->busy = false; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&master->queue_lock, flags); + if (master->unprepare_transfer_hardware && + master->unprepare_transfer_hardware(master)) + dev_err(&master->dev, + "failed to unprepare transfer hardware\n"); return; } -- 1.8.1.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
