Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] serial: stm32: optimize spin lock usage
Hi Dillon,
STM32MP151 is mono-core, but both STM32MP153 and STM32MP157 are
dual-core (see
https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32-arm-cortex-mpus.html).
So your point is fully relevant, thanks.
ST already fixed the same issue in st-asc.c driver in the past (see
ef49ffd8), because a systematic deadlock was detected with RT kernel.
You proposed a first implementation in your patch, and a second one in
the discussion. It seems that your initial proposal (ie your V2 patch)
is the most standard one (implemented in 6 drivers). The second
implementation is implemented by only 1 company.
It looks that the solution is to avoid locking in the sysrq case and
trylock in the oops_in_progress case (see detailed analysis in
677fe555cbfb1).
So your initial patch looks to the right proposal, but it would be safer
if Greg could confirm it.
BR, Erwan.
