I have been doing bringup of the ast2600. It contains i2c buses that
are register compatible with the ast2500, and I am running them
without buffer or DMA mode. This is with v5.3.6, with no patches other
than adding the compatible string:



I see this behavior:

[   20.981417] aspeed-i2c-bus 1e78a280.i2c-bus: master failed to RX

It happens on boot, and can also be triggered by placing load on the
system. In particular, if I copy a large amount of data to the flash.

The IRQs are being served on one of the CPUs:

 40:          0          0     GIC-0 155 Level     1e78a700.i2c-bus

Following a hunch, I booted the system with SMP disabled (it's a dual
core part). The issue did not reproduce.

This suggests the driver is lacking locking. I am yet to do any
detailed debugging.

Have you seen any behavior like this?

Been doing some testing.

I'm not sure it's locking, but I think it could have something to do 
with the fact that the driver only acknowledges (clears the irq status 
register) the RX done bit way later than the rest of the bits. Is there 
a reason for this?

It seems to me that we get a second interrupt pending (on the second 
processor? don't see how as we never see any irqs handled there) for RX 
done sometimes, immediately after we've cleared it. I've ONLY seen it on 
RX done. Here's some data to show this:

This is just some custom tracing to track the driver state and the irqs. 
There was too much traffic for dev_dbg to handle. before is the driver 
state before the irq, and after is the driver state after the irq.

0: error entries[10]
     0: irq[00000000] before[inactive] after[start]
     1: irq[00000001] before[start] after[tx_first]
     2: irq[00000001] before[tx_first] after[tx]
     3: irq[00000001] before[tx] after[start]
     4: irq[00000005] before[start] after[rx_first]
     5: irq[00000005] before[rx_first] after[rx]
     6: irq[00000004] before[rx] after[rx]
     7: irq[00000004] before[rx] after[stop]    << all good, transfer is 
complete so we send stop.
     8: irq[00000000] before[stop] after[inactive]    << this is the one 
that triggers "failed to STOP" below
     9: irq[00000010] before[inactive] after[inactive]    << now we get 
the actual stop, but we're in the wrong state and ignore it
1: error entries[9]
     0: irq[00000000] before[inactive] after[start]
     1: irq[00000001] before[start] after[tx_first]
     2: irq[00000001] before[tx_first] after[tx]
     3: irq[00000001] before[tx] after[start]
     4: irq[00000005] before[start] after[rx_first]
     5: irq[00000005] before[rx_first] after[rx]
     6: irq[00000004] before[rx] after[rx]     << all good, transfer is 
continuing
     7: irq[00000000] before[rx] after[stop]  << no RX during an RX 
operation causes driver to abort and stop
     8: irq[00000014] before[stop] after[inactive] << now we get the RX 
and the stop.

This corresponds to:

[   18.405472] aspeed-i2c-bus 1e78a300.i2c-bus: master failed to STOP. 
irq_status:0x0
[   18.414164] aspeed-i2c-bus 1e78a300.i2c-bus: irq handled != irq. 
expected 0x00000010, but was 0x00000000
[   21.355422] aspeed-i2c-bus 1e78a300.i2c-bus: master failed to RX
[   21.363323] aspeed-i2c-bus 1e78a300.i2c-bus: irq handled != irq. 
expected 0x00000014, but was 0x00000010


I don't understand how disabling SMP fixes this, since the second core 
doesn't seem to ever handle any interrupts. Maybe it's just reporting it 
wrong? From what I understand of interrupt handling, the second core is 
allowed to get interrupts while the first is handling an interrupt and 
has therefore disabled it's own interrupts... correct me if I 
misunderstand. In this case then, RX done gets triggered on the second 
core since it's sitting around uncleared in the status register?


I was also able to "fix" this by simple returning IRQ_NONE if irq_status 
== 0 in the interrupt handler. But probably not a good solution.

It's really odd. Why does H/W trigger an interrupt without setting any
flag? Or is it an irq affinity setting issue?

Here again. If it happens, state machine in driver will be broken and it
would affect the next event handling.

I didn't see this issue in AST2500 which has a single core and runs in
UP kernel. Seems that it can be observed only in AST2600 SMP setting.

Ryan,
Can you please check it whether it's an expected H/W behavior of AST2600
or not?

A fix like below, right?

@@ -603,6 +603,9 @@ static irqreturn_t aspeed_i2c_bus_irq(int irq, void 
*dev_id)

         spin_lock(&bus->lock);
         irq_received = readl(bus->base + ASPEED_I2C_INTR_STS_REG);

I think it's a right fix for the issue. At least, we need to prevent
any driver state corruption. The state machine would run correctly if we
filtering the garbage interrupt out.

Ah, I missed that. Thanks for your pointing out.

Hello Joel,
	Could you enable kernel config CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_BUS? And send me the log. 

	And also add following in aspeed_i2c_bus_irq function

	........................
	irq_received = readl(bus->base + ASPEED_I2C_INTR_STS_REG);
	+ irq_received &= 0xf000ffff;

It's really odd. Why does H/W trigger an interrupt without setting any flag? Or is it an irq affinity setting issue?

Here again. If it happens, state machine in driver will be broken and it would affect the next event handling.

I didn't see this issue in AST2500 which has a single core and runs in UP kernel. Seems that it can be observed only in AST2600 SMP setting.

Ryan,
Can you please check it whether it's an expected H/W behavior of AST2600 or not?

A fix like below, right?

I think it's a right fix for the issue. At least, we need to prevent any driver state corruption. The state machine would run correctly if we filtering the garbage interrupt out.

Just unlock the spinlock before you return...

Thanks Wolfram!

Peter also pointed it out, and Eddie made a patch which includes the
spin_unlock.

Hi Eddie,
Can you please submit your patch into 'i2c-next' upstream?

Thanks,

Hi Ryan,

I dumped the I2C register state at each IRQ like you mentioned. This was 
the kernel log in this case:

[   39.266308] aspeed-i2c-bus 1e78a280.i2c-bus: master failed to RX
[   39.273303] aspeed-i2c-bus 1e78a280.i2c-bus: irq handled != irq. 
expected 0x00000014, but was 0x00000010

The gXX registers are the global i2c registers (not specific to the bus).

I grabbed the registers when the driver state transitions in the irq 
handler. So, after the irq status has been initially cleared (except for 
rx). In the case of 7, when the irq status changes, I grab it in 
aspeed_i2c_do_stop before writing the STOP. So immediately after the 
"master failed to RX" log. The entire irq handler is spin locked, so all 
of the state transitions and register grabbing is locked.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Eddie

'irq[]' here and '10[]' below are the same register. This log means an
interrupt came with empty status.

The interrupt status was updated lately at here. Looks like there is a
timing gap in H/W between interrupt triggering and status updating. I
haven't seen this issue in previous H/W versions.

This issue can be resolved by your patch but ultimately this issue
should be fixed in AST2600 A1 revision H/W if possible so that we can
remove the unnecessary interrupt handling.

Thanks,

Jae
