Subject: [PATCH] irqchip/stm32mp-exti: fix the unit of the hwspinlock timeout
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 11:21:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805032139.35420-2-junan76@163.com> (raw)
HWSPNLCK_TIMEOUT is passed to hwspin_lock_timeout_in_atomic(), whose
timeout argument is in milliseconds, not microseconds:
atomic_delay += HWSPINLOCK_RETRY_DELAY_US;
if (atomic_delay > to * 1000)
return -ETIMEDOUT;
So stm32mp_exti_set_type() asks for a 1 second timeout where the comment
next to the macro says it wants 1 millisecond. The semaphore is polled
with udelay() from a section that holds chip_data->rlock, a
raw_spinlock_t, so preemption stays disabled for the whole wait on every
configuration, PREEMPT_RT included.
The hwspinlock core documents this explicitly:
If the mode is HWLOCK_IN_ATOMIC (called from an atomic context) the
timeout is handled with busy-waiting delays, hence shall not exceed
few msecs.
Pass the value the comment always described. The core retries every
HWSPINLOCK_RETRY_DELAY_US (100 us), so the semaphore is still polled ten
times before giving up, which is far longer than any plausible hold time
on the coprocessor side. A timeout is reported with pr_err() and fails
the trigger type configuration, so shortening it degrades gracefully.
