Because of out-of-order execution about some CPU architecture, In this debug stage we find Completing spi interrupt enable -> prodrucing TXEI interrupt -> running "interrupt_transfer" function will prior to set "dw->rx and dws->rx_end" data, so this patch add memory barrier to enable dw->rx and dw->rx_end to be visible and solve to send SPI data error. eg: it will fix to this following low possibility error in testing environment which using SPI control to connect TPM Modules kernel: tpm tpm0: Operation Timed out kernel: tpm tpm0: tpm_relinquish_locality: : error -1 Signed-off-by: fengsheng <fengsheng5@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Xinwei Kong <kong.kongxinwei@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/spi/spi-dw.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/spi/spi-dw.c b/drivers/spi/spi-dw.c index a92aa5c..9396eb5 100644 --- a/drivers/spi/spi-dw.c +++ b/drivers/spi/spi-dw.c @@ -288,6 +288,9 @@ static int dw_spi_transfer_one(struct spi_controller *master, dws->rx_end = dws->rx + transfer->len; dws->len = transfer->len; + /* Ensure dw->rx and dw->rx_end are visible */ + smp_mb(); + spi_enable_chip(dws, 0); /* Handle per transfer options for bpw and speed */ -- 2.7.4
