The code before that already did a timeout check and flush in that case, without the reset. Obviously the fix wouldn't apply without changes to a version without that commit, but the version would be nevertheless affected by the issue. That's why I chose the commit introducing the timeout handling. > Cc: Rayagonda Kokatanur <rayagonda.kokatanur@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v5.2+ > > > --- > > The iproc-smbus driver does some additional checks/mitigations, but > > since my I2C understanding is only very rudimentary, I didn't add them, > > also the reset was enough to fix the issue I was seeing. > > > > I was a bit conflicted about the Fixes tag, but since it fixes/work > > around misbehaviour seen I decided to add one. > > > > The issue was happening only in production, and only once per boot (so > > far), but with 100% probability within a few hours. > > > > drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-bcm-iproc.c | 9 +++++++++ > > 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) > > > > diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-bcm-iproc.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-bcm-iproc.c > > index 05c80680dff4..69f9c199fa3b 100644 > > --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-bcm-iproc.c > > +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-bcm-iproc.c > > @@ -796,6 +796,15 @@ static int bcm_iproc_i2c_xfer_wait(struct bcm_iproc_i2c_dev *iproc_i2c, > > if (!time_left && !iproc_i2c->xfer_is_done) { > > dev_err(iproc_i2c->device, "transaction timed out\n"); > > > > + /* check if START_BUSY did not clear */ > > as Ray asked, can you please expand this comment?
