Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mailbox: Don't unnecessarily re-arm the polling timer
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2014 13:01:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1414699267-17970-2-git-send-email-abrestic@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1414699267-17970-1-git-send-email-abrestic@chromium.org>
poll_txdone() will unconditionally re-arm the polling timer if there was
an active request, even if the active request completed and no other
requests were submitted. This is fixed by:
- only re-arming the timer if the controller reported that the current
transmission has not completed, and,
- moving the call to poll_txdone() into msg_submit() so that the
controller gets polled (and the timer re-armed, if necessary) whenever
a new message is submitted.
