Detecting a timeout is ok, but we also need to assert a STOP command on the bus in order to prevent it from generating interrupts when there are no on going transfers. Example: very long transmission. 1. ocores_xfer: START a transfer 2. ocores_isr : handle byte by byte the transfer 3. ocores_xfer: goes in timeout [[bugfix here]] 4. ocores_xfer: return to I2C subsystem and to the I2C driver 5. I2C driver : it may clean up the i2c_msg memory 6. ocores_isr : receives another interrupt (pending bytes to be transferred) but the i2c_msg memory is invalid now So, since the transfer was too long, we have to detect the timeout and STOP the transfer. Another point is that we have a critical region here. When handling the timeout condition we may have a running IRQ handler. For this reason I introduce a spinlock. In order to make easier to understan locking I have: - added a new function to handle timeout - modified the current ocores_process() function in order to be protected by the new spinlock Like this it is obvious at first sight that this locking serializes the execution of ocores_process() and ocores_process_timeout() Signed-off-by: Federico Vaga <federico.vaga@cern.ch> Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa@the-dreams.de>
