[PATCH 2/2] mmc: prevent aggressive clock gating to race with ios updates

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We have seen at least two different races when clock gating kicks in in a
middle of ios structure update.

First one happens when ios->clock is changed outside of aggressive clock
gating framework, for example via mmc_set_clock(). The race might happen
when we run following code:

mmc_set_ios():
	...
	if (ios->clock > 0)
		mmc_set_ungated(host);

Now if gating kicks in right after the condition check we end up setting
host->gated to false even though we have just gated the clock. Next time a
request is started we try to ungate and restore the clock in
mmc_host_clk_ungate(). However since we have host->gated set to false the
original clock is not restored.

This eventually will cause the host controller to hang since its clock is
disabled while we are trying to issue a request. For example on Intel
Medfield platform we see:

and it never recovers.

Second race might happen while running mmc_power_off():

static void mmc_power_off(struct mmc_host *host)
{
	host->ios.clock = 0;
	host->ios.vdd = 0;

[ clock gating kicks in here ]

	/*
	 * Reset ocr mask to be the highest possible voltage supported for
	 * this mmc host. This value will be used at next power up.
	 */
	host->ocr = 1 << (fls(host->ocr_avail) - 1);

	if (!mmc_host_is_spi(host)) {
		host->ios.bus_mode = MMC_BUSMODE_OPENDRAIN;
		host->ios.chip_select = MMC_CS_DONTCARE;
	}
	host->ios.power_mode = MMC_POWER_OFF;
	host->ios.bus_width = MMC_BUS_WIDTH_1;
	host->ios.timing = MMC_TIMING_LEGACY;
	mmc_set_ios(host);
}

If the clock gating worker kicks in while we are only partially updated the
ios structure the host controller gets incomplete ios and might not work as
supposed. Again on Intel Medfield platform we get:

This BUG() comes from the fact that ios.power_mode was still in previous
value (MMC_POWER_ON) and ios.vdd was set to zero.

We prevent these by disabling the clock gating while we update the ios
structure.

Both problems can be reproduced by simply running the device in a reboot
loop.

I'm not sure whether this is the best way of preventing the races. Two
alternatives come into mind:

	1. make a copy of ios at the beginning of each function and pass
	this copy to the mmc_set_ios().

	2. make the host controller drivers to check if the ios structure
	is sane and only then commit the changes.

Please comment.
