RE: [PATCH] [MUSB] Fix for crash in DM646x USB when (CPPI)DMA is enabled.

Sergei,
	Pl. read through the patch description (and the associated code) before expressing your opinion.  This helps to avoid the unnecessary traffic for all of us.

	As in the patch description DM646x has 2 separate interrupt relating to USB subsystem.  One handles DMA interrupts while other handles non-DMA interrupt.

	Davinci_interrupt() handler handles non-DMA interrupts while cppi_interrupt() handler handles the DMA interrupts.

	In the davinci_interrupt() handler refer to the below code snippet


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
        cppi = container_of(musb->dma_controller, struct cppi, controller);
        if (is_cppi_enabled() && musb->dma_controller && !cppi->irq)
                retval = cppi_interrupt(irq, __hci);
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

	From the above snippet you can see if the DMA irq is subscribed then davinci_interrupt() does not call the cppi_interrupt() handler.  This is the case in relation to DM646x platform.

	I expect you to look in the code, understand the patch and then provide you observation in future and do not expect others to do this for you.


Regards
swami

   NAK. davinci_interrupt() calls cppi_interrupt() with this lock 
already held. We probably need to move the lock acquisition below that 
call first.
