Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] spi: Allow spi_delay_exec() to be used from atomic contexts
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 14:50:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113135017.1047959-2-heiko@sntech.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113135017.1047959-1-heiko@sntech.de>
From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner@cherry.de>
When using spi_delay_exec() only the fsleep in the subsequent
_spi_transfer_delay_ns() can actually sleep.
As we might want to use spi_delay_exec() from atomic contexts in the
future, move the might_sleep() up to the actual place that matters
and fall back to the existing ndelay if called from an atomic context.
This also introduces a helper spi_in_atomic_mode() to determine when
that is the case. As this should really only be used in very special
occasions, it really restricts things to late system states.
