Subject: [PATCH i2c-next v3 0/3] i2c: aspeed: Add bus idle waiting logic for multi-master use cases

In multi-master environment, this driver's master cannot know
exactly when peer master sends data to this driver's slave so a
case can be happened that this master tries to send data through
the master_xfer function but slave data from peer master is still
being processed by this driver.

To prevent state corruption in the case, this patch adds checking
code if any slave operation is ongoing and it waits up to the
timeout duration before starting a master_xfer operation.

Please review this patch set.

Thanks,

-Jae

Changes since v2:
- Changed the property name to 'aspeed,timeout' and made it to
update the adapter's timeout configuration.

Changes since v1:
- Changed define names of timeout related.

This commit adds 'aspeed,timeout' property as an optional property
which can be used for setting 'timeout' value of
'struct i2c_adapter'. With this patch, the timeout value can be
set through an I2C_TIMEOUT ioctl on cdev, or through this optional
DT property.

The 5 seconds time out is way too long. On a system that doesn't have
functional i2c, this holds up boot for a long time as most i2c client
drivers try to initialise their device and fail. I realise you're not
changing the value, but we should pick a better default. 1 second?
Half a second?

Can we make this binding generic? It's not specific to aspeed's
hardware. Getting the value could even part of the i2c core.

I read the previous thread with Wolfram. I think this would still fit
with what Wolfram suggested, but please forgive my jetlagged brain if
I've missed something.

Cheers,

I agree with you. We could probably use 1 second as default which can
cover the most of general cases. If so, we don't need to make the
default setting in this driver because i2c-core-base will default
adap->timeout to 1 second if the value is 0 when a driver registers an
adapter. Will fix this code.

It followed the way of the existing i2c-mpc driver uses 'fsl,timeout'
for the same purpose. Though, I also want to make it as a generic as you
suggested like 'timeout' in milliseconds unit, not in microseconds unit.
If making it a generic property is acceptable, I'll fix it too.

Wolfram, can you please share your thought on it?

Thanks,
Jae

Isn't controlling this from userspace or relying on a default
sufficient? I can't see this needing to be highly tuned for each
platform.

However, if we do have a property, it should be common.

It can be controlled using an ioctl command on an I2C cdev from
userspace if CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV is enabled. A couple of I2C drivers use
their own specific default value for it but in general the common
default value (1 second) which is set by i2c core is sufficient.
But it still needs to be tuned for specific cases based on attached
devices' characteristic, on packet length, on bus speed and on etc.
Specifically in Aspeed I2C driver for BMC, it should be tuned
to support multi-master use cases properly, and it needs a device tree
property to apply this timeout value from the probing time of the
module.

Okay, I'll change it to 'timeout'.

Thanks a lot,
