Subject: [PATCH 3/3] i2c: xiic: don't clobber msg->len to signal block-read completion
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:18:08 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427-i2c-xiic-v1-3-e6207f9aa5ad@nexthop.ai> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427-i2c-xiic-v1-0-e6207f9aa5ad@nexthop.ai>

From: Abdurrahman Hussain <abdurrahman@nexthop.ai>

At the end of a SMBus block read the BNB handler force-set
tx_msg->len = 1 to push xiic_tx_space() to zero so the STATE_DONE
branch would fire. Two problems:

1. tx_msg and rx_msg alias the same i2c_msg struct during a receive
   (see xiic_start_recv), so overwriting tx_msg->len also changes
   rx_msg->len. The i2c core's i2c_smbus_check_pec() then reads the
   PEC from the wrong offset -- buf[0] instead of buf[rxmsg_len + 1]
   -- and either mis-validates or returns -EBADMSG.

2. xiic_start_recv sets tx_pos = msg->len (typically 2 when PEC is
   enabled). xiic_tx_space() is unsigned msg->len - tx_pos, so
   setting msg->len = 1 with tx_pos = 2 underflows to 0xFFFFFFFF and
   xiic_tx_space() never compares equal to 0 -- the STATE_DONE check
   falls through to STATE_ERROR, giving -EIO.

Instead, advance tx_pos up to msg->len. That drives tx_space to 0
without touching msg->len, preserving the buffer length that
xiic_smbus_block_read_setup() already grew to cover the length byte,
the payload and the optional PEC byte.
