Subject: [PATCH v4 1/6] tpm, tpm_tis_spi: Request threaded irq

From: Lino Sanfilippo <[email protected]>

Interrupt handling at least includes reading and writing the interrupt
status register within the interrupt routine. Since accesses over the SPI
bus are synchronized by a mutex, request a threaded interrupt handler to
ensure a sleepable context during interrupt processing.

Fixes: 1a339b658d9d ("tpm_tis_spi: Pass the SPI IRQ down to the driver")

When you state that it needs a sleepable context, you should bring a
context why it needs it. This not to disregard the code change overally but
you cannot make even the most obvious claim without backing data.

so what kind of backing data do you have in mind? Would it help to emphasize more
that the irq handler is running in hard irq context in the current code and thus
must not access registers over SPI since SPI uses a mutex (I consider it as basic
knowledge that a mutex must not be taken in hard irq context)?

Lino

There's zero mention about specific lock you are talking about. Providing
the basic knowledge what you are trying to do is the whole point of the
commit message in the first place. I'd presume this patch is related to the
use bus_lock_mutex but it is fully ingored here.

Ok, understood. I will amend the commit message to make more clear that
reading and writing registers from the interrupt handler results in
a call to tpm_tis_spi_transfer() which uses the bus_lock_mutex of the
spi device and thus requires a sleepable context.

Yeah, please be always as explicit as possible, so that it is impossible
to get it wrong. Then a reader of your patch saves time from seeking e.g.
the current name of the data structure. Just dumb things down as far as
you can.

Commit messages have a dual function:

1. They *lower* the barrier to look into a code change, which helps
the patches get any attention.
2. Proper commit messages save tons of time from the maintainer, when
you have revisit years old commits, e.g. when bisecting a bug.

Comparing to e.g. Github the key difference is this: in Github you have
commits and issues. In kernel commit is both issue and the commit bundled
together. Therefore, every commit also needs to have a "bug report"
included.
