I think there is a race condition between oxu_bus_suspend() and oxu_stop(),
so I think we could not drop the oxu->lock earlier.
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
oxu_bus_suspend() | oxu_stop()
|
hcd->state = HC_STATE_SUSPENDED; | spin_lock_irq(&oxu->lock);
... |
writel(mask, &oxu->regs->intr_enable); | ...
| writel(0, &oxu->regs->intr_enable);
readl(&oxu->regs->intr_enable); |
The oxu->regs->intr_enable is set to 0 in oxu_stop(), and the readl() in
oxu_bus_suspend() will read the wrong value.
Thanks a lot for your time and advice. If you have questions, welcome to ask me.
