Subject: [PATCH 4/5] spi: spi-sun4i: sun4i_spi_handler(): fix race condition between transfer completion and RX FIFO interrupt
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2026 17:35:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902-spi-sun4i-fixes-v1-4-19985ef75673@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902-spi-sun4i-fixes-v1-0-19985ef75673@pengutronix.de>

From: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>

In commit 196737912da5 ("spi: sun4i: Allow transfers larger than FIFO
size"), support for transfers larger than the FIFO size was added.

This commit moves the draining of the RX-FIFO from
sun4i_spi_transfer_one() (after completion of the transfer) to the IRQ
handler when the IRQ "transfer complete" is handled. In addition, the
IRQ "RX-FIFO 3/4 full" is activated for all transfers.

However, this does not take into account that the RX-IRQ for transfers
that exceed 3/4 of the FIFO size is still pending after the IRQ
"transfer complete" has been processed. All interrupt sources are only
deactivated after the wait_for_completion_timeout() in
sun4i_spi_transfer_one().

This opens a race window for "RX-FIFO 3/4 full" interrupts to come.
The sequence is as follows:

| sun4i_spi_transfer_one()
|     sun4i_spi_fill_fifo()       // fill TX-FIFO with 48 bytes
|     // enable RX-FIFO 3/4 full IRQ
|     wait_for_completion_timeout();
|
| // SPI controller transfers 48 bytes
| // SPI controller issues "transfer complete" and "RX-FIFO 3/4 full" IRQ
|
| // IRQ handler start
|     sun4i_spi_handler()
|         // ACK "transfer complete" IRQ
|         sun4i_spi_drain_fifo();
|         complete();                         ----.
|         return IRQ_HANDLED;                      \
| // IRQ handler end                                \__ race
|                                                   /   window
|     // wait_for_completion_timeout() continues   /
|     // disable all IRQ sources              ----'

Avoid the race condition by disabling all interrupts when handling the
"transfer complete" IRQ and before calling complete(). Also move the
draining of the RX-FIFO back into sun4i_spi_transfer_one() where it
was before commit 196737912da5 ("spi: sun4i: Allow transfers larger than
FIFO size").

This has the added benefit of spending a little less time in the IRQ
handler.
