[RFC PATCH] i2c: busses: i2c-omap: Increase timeout for i2c interrupt

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When system is under load and there is an i2c transaction running
following warning appears on the console:

[  730.003617] omap_i2c 48070000.i2c: controller timed out
[  731.023643] omap_i2c 48070000.i2c: controller timed out

This is because, the completion() call, which is done in bottom half of
the interrupt handler, happens after the timeout period(1s) has elapsed
for the wait_for_completion_timeout() in omap_i2c_xfer_msg(). The
interrupt is raised within a second but due to system load (or other
interrupts), the bottom half does not get scheduled within a second.
Hence even though the interrupt has happened within required time frame,
due to delayed scheduling of bottom half, spurious timeout errors are
reported on the console and i2c controller is reset.

i2c timeout is a rare condition, hence increase timeout to 60s in order
to avoid reporting false timeout events under load.

I reproduced this while running i2cdump in a loop and reading from flash
using dd command.
