spi: pl022: Fix race in giveback() leading to driver lock-up
commit cd6fa8d2 upstream. Commit fd316941 ("spi/pl022: disable port when unused") introduced a race, which leads to possible driver lock up (easily reproducible on SMP). The problem happens in giveback() function where the completion of the transfer is signalled to SPI subsystem and then the HW SPI controller is disabled. Another transfer might be setup in between, which brings driver in locked-up state. Exact event sequence on SMP: core0 core1 => pump_transfers() /* message->state == STATE_DONE */ => giveback() => spi_finalize_current_message() => pl022_unprepare_transfer_hardware() => pl022_transfer_one_message => flush() => do_interrupt_dma_transfer() => set_up_next_transfer() /* Enable SSP, turn on interrupts */ writew((readw(SSP_CR1(pl022->virtbase)) | SSP_CR1_MASK_SSE), SSP_CR1(pl022->virtbase)); ... => pl022_interrupt_handler() => readwriter() /* disable the SPI/SSP operation */ => writew((readw(SSP_CR1(pl022->virtbase)) & (~SSP_CR1_MASK_SSE)), SSP_CR1(pl022->virtbase)); Lockup! SPI controller is disabled and the data will never be received. Whole SPI subsystem is waiting for transfer ACK and blocked. So, only signal transfer completion after disabling the controller.
