The patch spi: davinci: fix spurious i/o error has been applied to the spi tree at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 7f3ac71ac3b05aaa2c55c266448f973188275a8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sekhar Nori <nsekhar@xxxxxx> Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2015 21:59:04 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] spi: davinci: fix spurious i/o error davinci_spi_bufs() uses wait_for_completion_interruptible() without bothering to handle -ERESTARTSYS. Due to this, sometime, it returns prematurely when a signal is received. Since the return value is never checked, userspace eventually receives a spurious -EIO. To fix this, use un-interruptible wait_for_completion_timeout().
