Subject: [PATCH v5 2/3] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Fix CMDQ timeout warning
Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2025 13:28:56 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251208212857.13101-3-jacob.pan@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251208212857.13101-1-jacob.pan@linux.microsoft.com>
While polling for n spaces in the cmdq, the current code instead checks
if the queue is full. If the queue is almost full but not enough space
(<n), then the CMDQ timeout warning is never triggered even if the
polling has exceeded timeout limit.
The existing arm_smmu_cmdq_poll_until_not_full() doesn't fit efficiently
nor ideally to the only caller arm_smmu_cmdq_issue_cmdlist():
- It uses a new timer at every single call, which fails to limit to the
preset ARM_SMMU_POLL_TIMEOUT_US per issue.
- It has a redundant internal queue_full(), which doesn't detect whether
there is a enough space for number of n commands.
This patch polls for the availability of exact space instead of full and
emit timeout warning accordingly.
Fixes: 587e6c10a7ce ("iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Reduce contention during command-queue insertion")

v5:
- Disable WFE for queue space polling (Robin, Will)
v4:
- Deleted non-ETIMEOUT error handling for queue_poll (Nicolin)
v3:
- Use a helper for cmdq poll instead of open coding (Nicolin)
- Add more explanation in the commit message (Nicolin)
v2: - Reduced debug print info (Nicolin)
- Use a separate irq flags for exclusive lock
- Handle queue_poll err code other than ETIMEOUT
