Hello Vijaya Krishna Nivarthi, The patch b5762d95607e: "spi: spi-qcom-qspi: Add DMA mode support" from Apr 24, 2023, leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: drivers/spi/spi-qcom-qspi.c:368 qcom_qspi_setup_dma_desc() warn: sleeping in atomic context drivers/spi/spi-qcom-qspi.c 336 static int qcom_qspi_setup_dma_desc(struct qcom_qspi *ctrl, 337 struct spi_transfer *xfer) 338 { 339 int ret; 340 struct sg_table *sgt; 341 dma_addr_t dma_ptr_sg; 342 unsigned int dma_len_sg; 343 int i; 344 345 if (ctrl->n_cmd_desc) { 346 dev_err(ctrl->dev, "Remnant dma buffers n_cmd_desc-%d\n", ctrl->n_cmd_desc); 347 return -EIO; 348 } 349 350 sgt = (ctrl->xfer.dir == QSPI_READ) ? &xfer->rx_sg : &xfer->tx_sg; 351 if (!sgt->nents || sgt->nents > QSPI_MAX_SG) { 352 dev_warn_once(ctrl->dev, "Cannot handle %d entries in scatter list\n", sgt->nents); 353 return -EAGAIN; 354 } 355 356 for (i = 0; i < sgt->nents; i++) { 357 dma_ptr_sg = sg_dma_address(sgt->sgl + i); 358 if (!IS_ALIGNED(dma_ptr_sg, QSPI_ALIGN_REQ)) { 359 dev_warn_once(ctrl->dev, "dma_address not aligned to %d\n", QSPI_ALIGN_REQ); 360 return -EAGAIN; 361 } 362 } 363 364 for (i = 0; i < sgt->nents; i++) { 365 dma_ptr_sg = sg_dma_address(sgt->sgl + i); 366 dma_len_sg = sg_dma_len(sgt->sgl + i); 367 --> 368 ret = qcom_qspi_alloc_desc(ctrl, dma_ptr_sg, dma_len_sg); The qcom_qspi_alloc_desc() is a sleeping allocation, but the caller qcom_qspi_transfer_one() is holding spin_lock_irqsave(&ctrl->lock, flags). 369 if (ret) 370 goto cleanup; 371 } 372 return 0; 373 374 cleanup: 375 for (i = 0; i < ctrl->n_cmd_desc; i++) 376 dma_pool_free(ctrl->dma_cmd_pool, ctrl->virt_cmd_desc[i], 377 ctrl->dma_cmd_desc[i]); 378 ctrl->n_cmd_desc = 0; 379 return ret; 380 } regards, dan carpenter
