Hi, Alexey
You attached the updated patch on the bug 10724/9998.
Can the following situation be handled by your patch?(For example:
bug 10724)
EC GPE Interrupt storm is detected and EC GPE will be disabled
when doing EC transaction.
If EC notification event happens while doing EC transaction(EC
GPE is disabled), the SCI_EVT bit of EC status register is cleared
automatically before we can handle it.
SCI_EVT is cleared only as a response to query command sent to EC, there is no
timeout on it.
Transaction will take at most 2 ms (1 write/1 read or 2 writes in poll mode),
and at the end of the transaction there is a check of the SCI bit.
With the un-patched EC SCI bit needs to stay for period while the QUERY_PENDING bit is set,
which could be quite more than 2 ms, and it seems to comply with that even on most broken
hardware.
Can the EC notification event be handled by OS?
What do you mean?
Thanks
Yakui.
