This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mmc: sdhci-pci: Do not disable interrupts in sdhci_intel_set_power to the 4.9-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: mmc-sdhci-pci-do-not-disable-interrupts-in-sdhci_intel_set_power.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 027fb89e61054b4aedd962adb3e2003dec78a716 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2017 19:50:30 +0200 Subject: mmc: sdhci-pci: Do not disable interrupts in sdhci_intel_set_power From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> commit 027fb89e61054b4aedd962adb3e2003dec78a716 upstream. Disabling interrupts for even a millisecond can cause problems for some devices. That can happen when Intel host controllers wait for the present state to propagate. The spin lock is not necessary here. Anything that is racing with changes to the I/O state is already broken. The mmc core already provides synchronization via "claiming" the host. Although the spin lock probably should be removed from the code paths that lead to this point, such a patch would touch too much code to be suitable for stable trees. Consequently, for this patch, just drop the spin lock while waiting.
