Subject: [PATCH] clk: clk-divider: Fix infinite loop for table divider
Date: Tue, 6 May 2014 17:26:45 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1399408005-4209-1-git-send-email-festevam@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@freescale.com>
Since commit e7489693b3 (clk: divider: Optimize clk_divider_bestdiv loop) we
notice a system hang on mx6qboard.
The cause for the hang is well explained by Sascha Hauer [1]:
"This cannot work. _round_up_table is implemented like this:
static int _round_up_table(const struct clk_div_table *table, int div)
{
const struct clk_div_table *clkt;
int up = _get_table_maxdiv(table);
for (clkt = table; clkt->div; clkt++) {
if (clkt->div == div)
return clkt->div;
...
}
...
}
Here when a table entry matches the input div this function will return
exactly the input div. This means _next_div() will always return the
same value and clk_divider_bestdiv() has an infinite loop:
for (i = 1; i <= maxdiv; i = _next_div(divider, i)) {
...
}
"

Remove the 'return _round_up_table' so that the system can work normally again.
