Subject: [REPOST PATCH] spi: Unlock a spinlock before calling into the controller driver.
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2013 11:17:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1363198660-21656-1-git-send-email-dianders@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1340409205-23606-1-git-send-email-bfreed@chromium.org>

From: Bryan Freed <bfreed@chromium.org>

spi_pump_messages() calls into a controller driver with
unprepare_transfer_hardware() which is documented as "This may sleep".
As in the prepare_transfer_hardware() call below, we should release the
queue_lock spinlock before making the call.
Rework the logic a bit to hold queue_lock to protect the 'busy' flag,
then release it to call unprepare_transfer_hardware().

During a rebase we noticed that this old patch never actually landed
anywhere.  I haven't gone through an reproduced the original bug on
ToT but I believe that this patch is still required.  Perhaps it could
land somewhere?  ;)  Thanks!
