Hi Mika I hope this annotation is correct? Sorry for the multiple errors! -----Original Message----- From: Khandelwal, Rajat <rajat.khandelwal@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, December 30, 2021 1:54 PM To: mika.westerberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; platform-driver-x86@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Khandelwal, Rajat <rajat.khandelwal@xxxxxxxxx>; Westerberg, Mika <mika.westerberg@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: intel_scu_ipc: Keep polling IPC status if it reads IPC_STATUS_ERR 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.
