Subject: [PATCH] soundwire: stream: Poll for DP prepare to avoid interrupt deadlock
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 11:16:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260227111648.175548-1-rf@opensource.cirrus.com> (raw)
Replace the wait_for_completion_timeout() in sdw_prep_deprep_slave_ports()
with a read_poll_timeout().
The original intent of the wait_for_completion_timeout() was to wait for
the port prepare interrupt. But at this time the code is holding the
bus_lock, which prevents the interrupt handler from running. Because of
this, the port_prep completion will not be signaled and the
wait_for_completion_timeout() will always timeout.
Rewriting the code to avoid taking the bus_lock carries risks, and
needs careful consideration of the consequences. It is safer and simpler
to replace the completion with a simple register poll.
As the code is holding the bus_lock, it is already blocking other activity
so consuming control channel bandwidth for polling isn't really a concern.
