Subject: [PATCH v2] pinctrl: stm32: fix the unit of the hwspinlock timeout
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 22:11:28 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827141127.25789-2-junan76@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <9b0f76a08a7c1dbaec4684b4bc013263e0149a4b.camel@foss.st.com>
HWSPNLCK_TIMEOUT is passed to hwspin_lock_timeout_in_atomic(), whose
timeout argument is in milliseconds, not microseconds:
atomic_delay += HWSPINLOCK_RETRY_DELAY_US;
if (atomic_delay > to * 1000)
return -ETIMEDOUT;
So the driver asks for a 1 second timeout where the comment next to the
macro says it wants 1 millisecond. All seven call sites spin on the
hardware semaphore with udelay(), from sections that hold bank->lock or
irqmux_lock, so on a non-PREEMPT_RT kernel this can keep interrupts
disabled for up to one second while waiting for the coprocessor.
The hwspinlock core documents this explicitly:
If the mode is HWLOCK_IN_ATOMIC (called from an atomic context) the
timeout is handled with busy-waiting delays, hence shall not exceed
few msecs.
Pass the value the comment always described. The core retries every
HWSPINLOCK_RETRY_DELAY_US (100 us), so the semaphore is still polled ten
times before giving up, which is far longer than any plausible hold time
on the coprocessor side. A timeout is reported with dev_err() and fails
the pin configuration or the interrupt allocation, so shortening it
degrades gracefully.
