[PATCH] can: flexcan: fix irq flooding by clearing all interrupt sources

[Wolfgang Grandegger]

As pointed out by Reuben Dowle and Lothar Waßmann, the TWRN_INT,
RWRN_INT, BOFF_INT interrupt sources need to be cleared as well
to avoid interrupt flooding, at least for the Flexcan on i.MX28
SOCs. Furthermore, the interrupts are only cleared, if really one
of those interrupt sources are pending (which is not the case for
rx and tx done).

Have you tested on mx25/mx35, does it have any negative side effects?
My schedule is full until Friday, sorry cannot test here.

Not yet. But it's not critical. Only the pending interrupt flags are
cleared. Maybe somebody else out there could do some testing... before I
get hold of a MX35PDK board.

I got my MX35PDK board working and can confirm, that the patch works on
a i.mx35 as well. My testing also confirms, that the ESR TWRN_INT,
RWRN_INT, FLEXCAN_ESR_BOFF_INT do not function as documented. These
flags do show up once, together with ERR_INT, and then, after clearing,
never again. Obviously a bug in the Flexcan logic. From the feedback we
can say, that only the i.MX28 does behave differently (==correctly). All
other seem to work with the current code:

 Flexcan on
 - i.mx25
 - i.mx35
 - i.mx53
 - P1010/P1020

I'm adding the patch to linux-can. I think this is a stable candidate
for v2.6.39 and newer (mx28 suport was added in 2.6.39).

But unfortunately, state change reporting looks different with this patch :)

Hmm - so not schedule for stable. What about your buf-off-handling, will
this change the reporting again?

Well, as it is a serious problem on i.MX28, I would schedule this patch
for stable as well. The error and state change reporting is bogus on the
Flexcan anyhow. Without this patch, I get "active->warning->passive" if
I send a message with cable disconnect (no ack). With patch just
"active->warning". That's the same behaviour
as on the i.MX28, also with my new state and bus-off handling. See:

https://gitorious.org/~wgrandegger/linux-can/wg-linux-can-next/commit/bd3acb12dbb9551541d28ae8766c154d3cf6ed57

I now understand the difference. I "flexcan_irq" we have:

	/*
	 * schedule NAPI in case of:
	 * - rx IRQ
	 * - state change IRQ
	 * - bus error IRQ and bus error reporting is activated
	 */
	if ((reg_iflag1 & FLEXCAN_IFLAG_RX_FIFO_AVAILABLE) ||
	    (reg_esr & FLEXCAN_ESR_ERR_STATE) ||
	    flexcan_has_and_handle_berr(priv, reg_esr)) {

Without this patch, "reg_esr & FLEXCAN_ESR_ERR_STATE" is *always* true
because the RWRN_INT is never cleared. This means, *any* message is
scheduled. As a nice side effect, this patch fixes this bug a well.

Only because any message is scheduled, the state change to error passive
is recognized in flexcan_poll(). The state change to error passive is
not signaled by an extra interrupt and is therefore only visible
together with RX, TX done or bus-error events.

Wolfgang.
