This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled platform/x86: intel_scu_ipc: Check status upon timeout in ipc_wait_for_interrupt() to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: platform-x86-intel_scu_ipc-check-status-upon-timeout.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 35e843cb46aac0c3064e6c6d50c6c64729c38454 Author: Stephen Boyd <swboyd@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 13 14:27:20 2023 -0700 platform/x86: intel_scu_ipc: Check status upon timeout in ipc_wait_for_interrupt() [ Upstream commit 427fada620733e6474d783ae6037a66eae42bf8c ] It's possible for the completion in ipc_wait_for_interrupt() to timeout, simply because the interrupt was delayed in being processed. A timeout in itself is not an error. This driver should check the status register upon a timeout to ensure that scheduling or interrupt processing delays don't affect the outcome of the IPC return value. CPU0 SCU ---- --- ipc_wait_for_interrupt() wait_for_completion_timeout(&scu->cmd_complete) [TIMEOUT] status[IPC_STATUS_BUSY]=0 Fix this problem by reading the status bit in all cases, regardless of the timeout. If the completion times out, we'll assume the problem was that the IPC_STATUS_BUSY bit was still set, but if the status bit is cleared in the meantime we know that we hit some scheduling delay and we should just check the error bit.
