Subject: [RFC PATCH] mtd: rawnand: use mutex to protect access while in suspend
Date: Mon,  4 Oct 2021 08:56:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211004065608.3190348-1-sean@geanix.com> (raw)

This will prevent nand_get_device() from returning -EBUSY.
It will force mtd_write()/mtd_read() to wait for the nand_resume() to unlock
access to the mtd device.

Then we avoid -EBUSY is returned to ubifsi via mtd_write()/mtd_read(),
that will in turn hard error on every error returened.
We have seen during ubifs tries to call mtd_write before the mtd device
is resumed.

Exec_op[0] speed things up, so we see this race when the device is
resuming. But it's actually "mtd: rawnand: Simplify the locking" that
allows it to return -EBUSY, before that commit it would have waited for
the mtd device to resume.

Tested on a iMX6ULL.

Fixes: 013e6292aaf5 ("mtd: rawnand: Simplify the locking")

I did this a RFC as we probably will need to remove the suspended
variable as it's kinda made obsolute by this change.
Should we introduce a new mutex? Or maybe a spin_lock?
