uru4000: fix race condition on waiting power up irq (2.59 KB, patch)

Description Timo Teräs 2012-12-03 11:22:41 UTC
The power up state machine has a race condition where it can miss the power-up ack interrupt.

I once in a while get the following debug log:

uru4000:warning [init_scanpwr_timeout] powerup timed out

You can see that the proper irq '56aa' came, but it came before INIT_AWAIT_SCAN_POWER state was entered, and thus it got ignored. The code then just times out and ignores the timeout eventually causing additional delays.

It appears that the ordering of the state machine is wrong, it should first arm the IRQ handler, and only after that start fiddling with the power register that triggers the IRQ.

I'm looking if we could get rid of powerup_run_state() alltogether, but it seems like it'd be better to leave it there. Unless someone gets bright ideas, I'll write a patch to arm the IRQ handler in some earlier step than INIT_AWAIT_SCAN_POWER, and modify the irq handling code to work properly regardless of the step during which it is received.
