Subject: [PATCH] soundwire: cadence: Clear message complete before signaling waiting thread
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 11:31:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260310113133.1707288-1-rf@opensource.cirrus.com> (raw)
Clear the CDNS_MCP_INT_RX_WL interrupt before signaling completion.
This is to prevent the potential race where:
- The main thread is scheduled immediately the completion is signaled,
and starts a new message
- The RX_WL IRQ for this new message happens before sdw_cdns_irq() has
been re-scheduled.
- When sdw_cdns_irq() is re-scheduled it clears the new RX_WL interrupt.
MAIN THREAD | IRQ THREAD
|
_cdns_xfer_msg() |
{ |
write data to FIFO |
wait_for_completion_timeout() |
<BLOCKED> | <---- RX_WL IRQ
| sdw_cdns_irq()
| {
| signal completion
<== RESCHEDULE <==
Handle message completion |
} |
|
Start new message |
_cdns_xfer_msg() |
{ |
write data to FIFO |
wait_for_completion_timeout() |
<BLOCKED> | <---- RX_WL IRQ
==> RESCHEDULE ==>
| // New RX_WL IRQ is cleared before
| // it has been handled.
| clear CDNS_MCP_INTSTAT
| return IRQ_HANDLED;
| }
Before this change, this error message was sometimes seen on kernels
that have large amounts of debugging enabled:
SCP Msg trf timed out
This error indicates that the completion has not been signalled after
500ms.
