The patch spi/fsl-espi: Don't spin forever on SPIE_RXCNT 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 a12ddd60ed0a88c3bb83a8d4c07762e41620bf8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nobuteru Hayashi <hayashi.nbb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2016 11:35:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] spi/fsl-espi: Don't spin forever on SPIE_RXCNT Infinite loop on SPIE_RXCNT occurred. while (SPIE_RXCNT(events) < min(4, mspi->len)) { cpu_relax(); events = mpc8xxx_spi_read_reg(®_base->event); } We met a soft lockup at fsl_espi_cpu_irq() because of this. Fix it by using spin_event_timeout() so that fsl_espi_cpu_irq() can break loop with timeouts dmesg.
