From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@xxxxxxx>
dspi->words_in_flight is a variable populated in the *_write functions
and used in the dspi_fifo_read function. It is also used in
dspi_fifo_write, immediately after transmission, to update the
message->actual_length variable used by higher layers such as spi-mem
for integrity checking.
But it may happen that the IRQ which calls dspi_fifo_read to be
triggered before the updating of message->actual_length takes place. In
that case, dspi_fifo_read will decrement dspi->words_in_flight to -1,
and that will cause an invalid modification of message->actual_length.
Make the simplest fix possible: don't decrement the actual shared
variable in dspi->words_in_flight from dspi_fifo_read, but actually a
copy of it which is on stack.
