It looks like there is a use case when IRQ handler is delayed a bit and the logic in the driver does not work. What is the real root cause I don't know. 2017-10-12 11:31 GMT+02:00 Pierre Yves MORDRET <pierre-yves.mordret@st.com>: > > > On 10/11/2017 01:53 PM, Radoslaw Pietrzyk wrote: >> Do not read data on RXNE but on BTF only due to HW >> synchronisation problems and NACKing read data too early. >> It was found during testing of stmpe811 touchscreen driver. >> > > Would you mind to explain what is behind "hw sync issue" you've seen ? > >> Signed-off-by: Radoslaw Pietrzyk <radoslaw.pietrzyk@gmail.com> >> --- >> drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-stm32f4.c | 11 +---------- >> 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 10 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-stm32f4.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-stm32f4.c >> index 4ec1084..86bcf4c 100644 >> --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-stm32f4.c >> +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-stm32f4.c >> @@ -409,16 +409,9 @@ static void stm32f4_i2c_handle_read(struct stm32f4_i2c_dev *i2c_dev) >> * So, here we just disable buffer interrupt in order to avoid another >> * system preemption due to RX not empty event. >> */ >> - case 2: >> - case 3: >> + default: >> stm32f4_i2c_clr_bits(reg, STM32F4_I2C_CR2_ITBUFEN); >> break; >> - /* >> - * For N byte reception with N > 3 we directly read data register >> - * until N-2 data. >> - */ >> - default: >> - stm32f4_i2c_read_msg(i2c_dev); >> } >> } >> >> @@ -470,8 +463,6 @@ static void stm32f4_i2c_handle_rx_done(struct stm32f4_i2c_dev *i2c_dev) >> */ >> reg = i2c_dev->base + STM32F4_I2C_CR1; >> stm32f4_i2c_clr_bits(reg, STM32F4_I2C_CR1_ACK); >> - stm32f4_i2c_read_msg(i2c_dev); >> - break; >> default: >> stm32f4_i2c_read_msg(i2c_dev); >> } >>

I can try of course but it means that any IRQ delay may cause the same problem so the question is whether the driver should be vulnerable to such use cases. 2017-10-17 15:18 GMT+02:00 Pierre Yves MORDRET <pierre-yves.mordret@st.com>: > > > On 10/12/2017 11:55 AM, Radosław Pietrzyk wrote: >> It looks like there is a use case when IRQ handler is delayed a bit >> and the logic in the driver does not work.

If those patches don't find effectiveness at your side I will have to look at it closer. Nonetheless I prefer to start from something more stable in term of clock before investigating further.

I do believe some investigation has to be done prior merging this patch. The impact is genuine and has to be tested thoroughly before granting an ack. Thus I prefer having a better understanding of the issue. I will try to work on this later on.

My understanding is that this driver is currently vulnerable to any IRQ delays that may happen in the system and this patch eliminates the problem but you may prove me wrong. 2017-12-07 14:23 GMT+01:00 Pierre Yves MORDRET <pierre-yves.mordret@st.com>: > > I do believe some investigation has to be done prior merging this patch. > The impact is genuine and has to be tested thoroughly before granting an ack. > > Thus I prefer having a better understanding of the issue. > I will try to work on this later on. > > Regards > > > On 12/07/2017 11:52 AM, Wolfram Sang wrote: >> On Tue, Oct 24, 2017 at 01:45:43PM +0200, Radosław Pietrzyk wrote: >>> I'm afraid that didn't help and the problem still exists even with >>> those patches applied. >> >> So, my reading is: There is an issue which needs to be investigated? >> Does applying the patch make sense until the issue is fully understood? >>

Do not read data on RXNE but on BTF only due to HW synchronisation problems and NACKing read data too early. It was found during testing of stmpe811 touchscreen driver.
