Sorry there are long delays between posting and replies to my review
comments. It takes me some time to remember what we're talking about
because this patch has dragged on for many months.
So my understanding is that gi2c::lock protects the 'cur' pointer. I
imagine this scenario might go bad
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
geni_i2c_stop_xfer()
... geni_i2c_rx_one_msg()
gi2c->cur = cur1;
cur = gi2c->cur;
... geni_i2c_tx_one_msg()
gi2c->cur = cur2;
geni_i2c_abort_xfer()
<uses cur2>
if (cur->flags & I2C_M_RD)
<uses cur1 for the condition and call; oops that's bad>
It's almost like we should combine the geni_i2c_abort_xfer() logic with
the rx/tx message cleanup functions so that it's all done under one
lock. Unfortunately it's complicated by the fact that there are various
completion waiting timeouts involved. Fun!
But even after all that, I don't see how the geni_i2c_stop_xfer() puts a
stop to future calls to geni_i2c_rx_one_msg() or geni_i2c_tx_one_msg().
The hardware isn't disabled from what I can tell. The irq isn't
disabled, the clks aren't turned off, etc. What is to stop an i2c device
from trying to use the bus after this shutdown function is called? If
anything, this function looks like a "flush", where we flush out any
pending transfer. Where's the "plug" operation that prevents any future
operations from following this call?
BTW, I see this is merged upstream. That's great, but it seems broken.
Please fix it or revert it out.
