Subject: Re: [PATCH 6/7] mmc: core: protect references to host->areq with host->lock
Ulf,
While this patch might be correct, it's not solving the problem I
claimed and my explanation was wrong. See comments in this code
review:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/170880/1//COMMIT_MSG
While I no longer see the same crash with this change in our "ToT
tree", I'm able to reproduce the original mmcqd crash on a different
kernel variant (also based on chromeos-3.4 kernel).
I think I need to review references to mqrq_prev and mqrq_cur since
those appear to be protected by mq->thread_sem and I suspect
references are happening from dw_mmc tasklet without holding this
semaphore.
apologies,
grant
