The rtc user must wait at least 1 sec between each time/calandar update (see atmel's datasheet chapter "Updating Time/Calendar"). Use the SECEV interrupt (as suggested by the datasheet) to wait for the RTC to be ready for new updates. Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v3.10+ Signed-off-by: Boris BREZILLON <boris.brezillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Bryan Evenson <bevenson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hello, This patch fixes a deadlock in an uninterruptible wait when the RTC is updated more than once every second. AFAICT the bug is here from the beginning, but I think we should at least backport this fix to 3.10 and the following longterm and stable releases.
