Subject: [PATCH v3 1/9] ARM: l2x0: fix disabling function to avoid deadlock
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 18:23:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1308158600-7169-2-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1308158600-7169-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com>

The l2x0_disable function attempts to writel with the l2x0_lock held.
This results in deadlock when the writel contains an outer_sync call
for the platform since the l2x0_lock is already held by the disable
function. A further problem is that disabling the L2 without flushing it
first can lead to the spin_lock operation becoming visible after the
spin_unlock, causing any subsequent L2 maintenance to deadlock.

This patch replaces the writel with a call to writel_relaxed in the
disabling code and adds a flush before disabling in the control
register, preventing livelock from occurring.
