Hello, I recently came across an issue with the Atmel spi controller driver which would stop my transfers after a too small timeout when performing big transfers (reading a 4MiB flash in one transfer). My initial idea was to derive a the maximum amount of time a transfer would take depending on its size and use that as value to avoid erroring-out when not relevant. Mark wanted to go further by creating a core helper doing that, based on the heuristics from the sun6i driver. Here is a small series of 3 patches doing exactly that. Cheers, Miquèl Miquel Raynal (3): spi: Create a helper to derive adaptive timeouts spi: atmel: Prevent false timeouts on long transfers spi: sun6i: Use the new helper to derive the xfer timeout value drivers/spi/spi-atmel.c | 18 +++++++++++------- drivers/spi/spi-sun6i.c | 2 +- include/linux/spi/spi.h | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- 2.34.1
