Concurrent runs of exynos_adc_isr? This is probably not issue in the first place. What you want to protect against is that completion is completed between the call to INIT_COMPLETION() and the start of a new conversion. So the sections that need to be under the spinlock are the complete call here and the point from INIT_COMPLETION until the transfer is started in exynos_read_raw(). Make sure to use spin_lock_irq there. > return IRQ_HANDLED; > } > > @@ -327,6 +336,7 @@ static int exynos_adc_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) > else > indio_dev->num_channels = MAX_ADC_V2_CHANNELS; > > + spin_lock_init(&info->reg_lock); > ret = iio_device_register(indio_dev); > if (ret) > goto err_irq; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
