Subject: [PATCHv3 4/5] ata: sata_dwc_460ex: fix infinite loop in NCQ tag completion bit-scanning
Date: Wed,  8 Jul 2026 19:32:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709023202.2132165-5-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709023202.2132165-1-rosenp@gmail.com>

The hand-rolled bit-scanning loop in the NCQ completion path has an
infinite loop bug.  When tag_mask has only high bits set (e.g.
0x80000000), the inner while loop left-shifts tag_mask until it
overflows to 0.  At that point !(0 & 1) is always true and 0 <<= 1
stays 0, causing an infinite loop in hardirq context with a spinlock
held.

Replace the open-coded bit-scanning with __ffs() which correctly
finds the least significant set bit and is bounded by the width of
the argument.
