If a SMBUs alert is received and the originating device is not found,
the reason may be that the address reported on the SMBus alert address
is corrupted, for example because multiple devices asserted alert and
do not correctly implement SMBus arbitration.

If this happens, call alert handlers on all devices connected to the
given I2C bus, in the hope that this cleans up the situation. Retry
twice before giving up.

High level question: why the retry? Did you experience address
collisions going away on the second try? My guess is that they would be
mostly persistent, so we could call smbus_do_alert_force() right away?


I honestly don't recall. I had some brute force code to trigger alerts
on connected chips. Maybe the idea was to catch situations where another
alert was raised after or during the first cycle.

As for "call smbus_do_alert_force() right away", I am not sure I understand.
Isn't that what the code is doing twice ?

Thanks,
Guenter


This change reliably fixed the problem on a system with multiple devices
on a single bus. Example log where the device on address 0x18 (ADM1021)
and on address 0x4c (ADM7461A) both had the alert line asserted:
Side note: That was ADT7461A, not ADM7461A.
