The Goodix panel triggers an interrupt on touch events. However, its
registers will contain the valid values a short time after the
interrupt, and not when it's raised. At that moment, the 'buffer
status'
bit is set.
Previously, if the 'buffer status' bit was not set when the registers
were read, the data was discarded and no input event was emitted,
causing "finger down" or "finger up" events to be missed sometimes.
This went unnoticed until v4.9, as the DesignWare I2C driver commonly
used with this driver had enough latency for that bug to never
trigger.
Link to the bug fix?
There is this commit seems somewhat related:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-core.c?id=2702ea7dbec55db62fa3016c7275fea7b508033f
But I think overall it might be best to just remove this paragraph
from the commit msg. The problem probably was there all along it
just was not noticed until around 4.9.
Now, in the IRQ handler we will poll (with a timeout) the 'buffer
status'
bit and process the data of the panel as soon as this bit gets set.
Note that the Goodix panel will send a few spurious interrupts after
the
'finger up' event, in which the 'buffer status' bit will never be
set.

around 16msec is the time between 2 frames on a 60Hz display. Is 20msec
what we want?
It is twice the time which people have observed on touchscreens
which need the poll, the idea is that since the normal time is
10ms, we wait somewhat more because of possible jitter in that
10 ms time observed.
Does this looping block below any other parts of the
kernel, or does it run in its own thread?
It is only called from goodix_ts_irq_handler which is
installed as a threaded interrupt handler, so it runs
from its own thread. Other wise we would be unable to do
i2c transfers since those can sleep too waiting for the
i2c controller to complete the transfer.

Hans
