Subject: [PATCH] mailbox: pcc: Complete the transfer when the platform flags an error
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 08:19:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027-pcc_error_txdone-v1-1-2f8cfbb36d90@debian.org> (raw)

A single error reported by the platform stops all later traffic on a
PCC channel whose client relies on the controller to complete
transfers, such as the SCMI PCC transport. Every later request on the
channel times out.

When the platform completes a command and sets a bit in the Error
Status register, pcc_mbox_irq() acks the platform interrupt, clears the
error and returns IRQ_NONE without calling mbox_chan_txdone().

No other interrupt arrives for that transfer, so the mailbox core keeps
it as the active request and holds back every later message.

The chan_in_use flag also stays set, so on a shared interrupt line the
next interrupt raised for another subspace passes the checks in
pcc_mbox_irq(), since Command Complete is still set, and runs the
success path on the failed transfer.

Log the error and complete the transfer with -EIO instead, clearing
chan_in_use first as the success path does. Skip
mbox_chan_received_data(), as the shared memory holds no valid response.
Use -EIO rather than the helper's return value, which is a positive
acpi_status when the register read fails.

Clients that wait for the rx callback still time out on the failed
transfer, but the channel works again afterwards.

Fixes: 9c753f7c953c ("mailbox: pcc: Mark Tx as complete in PCC IRQ handler")
