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.
