[PATCH] i2c: core: Fix atomic xfer check for non-preempt config

[PATCH] i2c: core: Fix atomic xfer check for non-preempt config

[Benjamin Bara]

From: Benjamin Bara <benjamin.bara@skidata.com>

Since commit aa49c90894d0 ("i2c: core: Run atomic i2c xfer when
!preemptible"), the whole reboot/power off sequence on non-preempt kernels
is using atomic i2c xfer, as !preemptible() always results to 1.

During device_shutdown(), the i2c might be used a lot and not all busses
have implemented an atomic xfer handler. This results in a lot of
avoidable noise, like:

[   12.687169] No atomic I2C transfer handler for 'i2c-0'
[   12.692313] WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 275 at drivers/i2c/i2c-core.h:40 i2c_smbus_xfer+0x100/0x118
...

Fix this by allowing non-atomic xfer when the interrupts are enabled, as
it was before.

Hi!

As there are a couple of bug reports already about missing atomic i2c
xfer handler warnings on non-preemptive configs around [1], this is an
attempt to reduce the avoidable noise.

thanks & regards
Benjamin

Thanks for the fix, if there will be a -rc9 this should definitely go 
in.

Thanks! The code looks what I also would have suggested reading the bug
reports. So:

Applied to for-current, thanks!

I removed the comment, though. I don't think it explains the following
code well enough, i.e. why we have a decision based on a Kconfig
symbol. We can (and should) fix this incrementally, though. I hope this
is OK with everyone.

Thanks to everyone putting work into this. Much appreciated!

Thanks a lot for this patch! It fixed big backtrace I saw at very last stage of reboot. That
backtrace occupied whole FullHD screen. Now it is gone. Thanks! My computer is laptop Dell Inspiron.

I hope this patch will soon arrive to debian buster lts
