Subject[PATCH] dmaengine: pl330: initialize tasklet after spin_unlock_irqrestore
Message-ID<r3AyU-uN-43@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Anand Moon <linux.amoon@gmail.com>

pl330_tasklet tasklet uses the same spinlock pch->lock for safe IRQ locking.
It's safe to initialize pl330_tasklet tasklet after release of the locking.

This is tasklet init, not tasklet execution (which you are referring
to in first sentence). I don't get how usage of spinlock during
execution guarantees the safeness during init... Please describe why
this is safe.

Krzysztof

pl330_tasklet function which is initiated by tasklet_init is trying to lock
using same spin_unlock_irqsave/restore pch->lock.
So better release the pch->lock and then initialize  the tasklet_init.

tasklet_init does not call pl330_tasklet (if this is what you mean by
"initiated"). What is the correlation? Why are you referring to the
locks in pl330_tasklet?

> So better release the pch->lock and then initialize  the tasklet_init.

Why "better"?

Hi,

tasklet_init() does not spwan the tasklet function, tasklet_schedule() does
that.

But there is still room for optimization here. If you want to move the
tasklet_init() call please move it into pl330_probe() next to where the
channel is allocated. There is no need to re-initialize the tasklet each
time the channel is requested.

After looking at the history of the change logs. I found below changes.

commit da331ba8e9c5de72a27e50f71105395bba6eebe0
Author: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <b.zolnierkie@samsung.com>
Date:   Wed Jul 3 15:00:43 2013 -0700

    drivers/dma/pl330.c: fix locking in pl330_free_chan_resources()

    tasklet_kill() may sleep so call it before taking pch->lock.

---------------------------------------------
sorry for the noise.
Next time I will be more careful.

On SMP arch, tasklet_init could spawn the pl330_tasklet routine,
it could be any CPU which could take up this task.
So just for good timing of Initialization of the pl330_tasklet after
spin_unlock_irqrestore.
That is what I can figure out.

My choice of words could be a problem.
