Before writing the read or write command to the SPMI arbiter through the
PMIF interface, the current status of the channel is checked to ensure
it is idle. However, since the status only changes from idle when the
command is written, it is possible for two concurrent calls to determine
that the channel is idle and simultaneously send their commands. At this
point the PMIF interface hangs, with the status register no longer being
updated, and thus causing all subsequent operations to time out.
This was observed on the mt8195-cherry-tomato-r2 machine, particularly
after commit 46600ab142 ("regulator: Set PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS for
drivers between 5.10 and 5.15") was applied, since then the two MT6315
devices present on the SPMI bus would probe assynchronously and
sometimes (during probe or at a later point) read the bus
simultaneously, breaking the PMIF interface and consequently slowing
down the whole system.
To fix the issue at its root cause, introduce locking around the channel
status check and the command write, so that both become an atomic
operation, preventing race conditions between two (or more) SPMI bus
read/write operations. A spinlock is used since this is a fast bus, as
indicated by the usage of the atomic variant of readl_poll, and
'.fast_io = true' being used in the mt6315 driver, so spinlocks are
already used for the regmap access.
