Please comment on this David. I would like to see a solid > use-case before even considering that. Several drivers in the downstream msm-3.10 tree [1] are currently making SPMI read and write calls from atomic context. For the most part this corresponds to non-threaded interrupt handlers. Some examples of that are qpnp-charger [2] and qpnp-adc-tm [3]. Another case in which atomic SPMI read and write calls are needed is when very tight timing constraints must be ensured between successive SPMI transactions. An example of this can be found in the qpnp-bsi MIPI-BIF smart battery driver [4]. It disables interrupts when performing BIF burst reads because the data register must be read within 10's of microseconds after the status register indicates that data is ready. If the data read is too slow, then next word in the burst read overrides the current one. - David [1]: git://codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.10#msm-3.10 [2]: https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.10/tree/drivers/power/qpnp-charger.c?h=msm-3.10&id=77ea4f2d70056169a80519fc9c7dd7156469ef11#n4173 [3]: https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.10/tree/drivers/thermal/qpnp-adc-tm.c?h=msm-3.10&id=77ea4f2d70056169a80519fc9c7dd7156469ef11#n2076 [4]: https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.10/tree/drivers/bif/qpnp-bsi.c?h=msm-3.10&id=77ea4f2d70056169a80519fc9c7dd7156469ef11#n943 -- The Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, hosted by The Linux Foundation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
