Subject: [PATCH V2] mxs/spi: Fix misuse of init_completion
Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2012 04:33:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1345775624-9696-1-git-send-email-marex@denx.de> (raw)

The init_completion() call does reinit not only the variable carrying
the flag that the completion finished, but also initialized the
waitqueue associated with the completion. On the contrary, the
INIT_WAITQUEUE() call only reinits the flag.

In case there was anything still stuck in the waitqueue, subsequent call
to init_completion() would be able to create possible race condition. This
patch uses the proper function and moves init_completion() into .probe() call
of the driver, to be issued only once.

Note that such scenario is impossible, since two threads can never enter the
mxs_spi_txrx_dma(), since whole this section is protected by mutex in SPI core.
This by no means allows this issue to exit though.
