Hi @Westerberg, Mika This was the original message! -----Original Message----- From: Khandelwal, Rajat <rajat.khandelwal@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2021 7:00 PM To: mika.westerberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Khandelwal, Rajat <rajat.khandelwal@xxxxxxxxx>; linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; platform-driver-x86@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PATCH] Keep polling IPC status if it reads IPC_STATUS_BUSY or IPC_STATUS_ERR until timeout expires The current implementation returns -EIO if and when IPC_STATUS_ERR is returned and returns -ETIMEDOUT even if the status is busy. This patch polls the IPC status even if IPC_STATUS_ERR is returned until timeout expires and returns -EBUSY if the status shows busy. Observed in multiple scenarios, trying to fetch the status of IPC after it shows ERR sometimes eradicates the ERR status.
