Subject: [PATCH] spi: spi-zynqmp-gqspi: stop the controller on shutdown
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 14:33:25 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910113325.717882-1-itai.handler@gmail.com> (raw)
The driver has no ->shutdown, and platform_drv_shutdown() has no
fallback of its own. Unlike pci_device_shutdown(), which clears bus
mastering when kexec_in_progress, nothing on the platform bus disarms a
device that can still write to memory. The normal kexec path never
calls ->suspend either, so the quiesce in zynqmp_qspi_suspend() is not
reached.
A controller that is still executing a DMA read may therefore keep
writing to memory across a kexec. QSPIDMA_DST_ADDR still points at
memory owned by the kernel that called kexec, DST_SIZE is non-zero and
the flash is still clocked, so data can keep landing in RAM while the
new kernel is being relocated, and after it has started executing.
That destination is a physical address which means nothing to the new
kernel, so the writes can corrupt whatever now occupies it: kernel text
or data, page tables, or the initrd. Nothing reports an error and the
resulting behaviour is undefined.
This can be observed by reading GQSPI_EN (offset 0x114) and
QSPIDMA_DST_ADDR/SIZE/STS/CTRL (offsets 0x800 to 0x80c) early in the new
kernel, before the driver probes: without this patch GQSPI_EN reads 1
and QSPIDMA_DST_ADDR still points into the previous kernel's memory.
Write 0 to GQSPI_EN_OFST, as zynqmp_qspi_remove() and
zynqmp_qspi_suspend() already do. Skip it only when
pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() returns 0, i.e. runtime suspended: the clocks
are gated, so the registers are unreachable and the controller cannot be
mastering the bus. A negative return is not the same thing - it is what
the CONFIG_PM=n stub always returns, and there probe() has enabled pclk
and refclk for good, so the controller is running and must be stopped.

Note for stable: before commit 1c26372e5aa9 ("spi: spi-zynqmp-gqspi:
Update driver to use spi-mem framework") this driver stored the
spi_master in the platform drvdata rather than the zynqmp_qspi, so a
backport to those trees needs spi_master_get_devdata() in place of the
platform_get_drvdata() used here.
