Subject: [PATCH] i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Fix race in DMA ring enqueue for parallel
xfers
The I3C subsystem allows multiple transfers to be queued concurrently.
However, the MIPI I3C HCI driver's DMA enqueue path, hci_dma_queue_xfer(),
lacks sufficient serialization.
In particular, the allocation of the enqueue_ptr and its subsequent update
in the RING_OPERATION1 register, must be done atomically. Otherwise, for
example, it would be possible for 2 transfers to be allocated the same
enqueue_ptr.
Extend the use of the existing spinlock for that purpose. Keep a count of
the number of xfers enqueued so that it is easy to determine if the ring
has enough space.
