Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: iio: adc: ad7816: add timeout to busy-wait loop
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 08:25:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226082547.69616-1-linuxoid@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aZ_9x4q5BZRJi3ue@smile.fi.intel.com>
The ad7816_spi_read() function polls the busy GPIO pin in a tight
loop without any timeout. If the hardware fails to deassert the
busy signal, the kernel hangs indefinitely in an unbounded
busy-wait.
Replace the open-coded while/cpu_relax() loop with
read_poll_timeout_atomic() which polls every 5 us and returns
-ETIMEDOUT after 1 ms. Per the AD7816 datasheet the maximum
conversion time is 27 us (temperature channel), so 1 ms provides
generous margin.
Use the atomic variant to preserve the existing busy-wait semantics
of the original loop.
Also handle the case where gpiod_get_value() returns a negative
error code, which the original loop would treat as busy and keep
spinning on indefinitely.
