Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: Fix unreachable retry logic in combined and byte I2C write functions
Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2025 13:12:00 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250306101201.1938376-1-rand.sec96@gmail.com> (raw)
The current implementation of `ixgbe_write_i2c_combined_generic_int` and
`ixgbe_write_i2c_byte_generic_int` sets `max_retry` to `1`, which makes
the condition `retry < max_retry` always evaluate to `false`. This renders
the retry mechanism ineffective, as the debug message and retry logic are
never executed.
This patch increases `max_retry` to `3` in both functions, aligning them
with the retry logic in `ixgbe_read_i2c_combined_generic_int`. This
ensures that the retry mechanism functions as intended, improving
robustness in case of I2C write failures.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
