[PATCH] wlcore: fix race for WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_RUNNING

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We set WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_RUNNING in the beginning of wlcore_irq(), and test
for it in wlcore_runtime_resume(). But WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_RUNNING currently
gets cleared too early by wlcore_irq_locked() before wlcore_irq() is done
calling it. And this will race against wlcore_runtime_resume() testing it.

Let's set and clear IRQ_RUNNING in wlcore_irq() so wlcore_runtime_resume()
can rely on it. And let's remove old comments about hardirq, that's no
longer the case as we're using request_threaded_irq().

This fixes occasional annoying wlcore firmware reboots stat start with
"wlcore: WARNING ELP wakeup timeout!" followed by a multisecond latency
when the wlcore firmware gets wrongly rebooted waiting for an ELP wake
interrupt that won't be coming.

Note that I also suspect some form of this issue was the root cause why
the wlcore GPIO interrupt has been often configured as a level interrupt
instead of edge as an attempt to work around the ELP wake timeout errors.
