From ef018e12b1ed4e4e50aae58b75e27a23d1e03352 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ido Schimmel Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2023 18:52:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mlxsw: pci: Fix possible crash during initialization [ Upstream commit 1f64757ee2bb22a93ec89b4c71707297e8cca0ba ] During initialization the driver issues a reset command via its command interface in order to remove previous configuration from the device. After issuing the reset, the driver waits for 200ms before polling on the "system_status" register using memory-mapped IO until the device reaches a ready state (0x5E). The wait is necessary because the reset command only triggers the reset, but the reset itself happens asynchronously. If the driver starts polling too soon, the read of the "system_status" register will never return and the system will crash [1]. The issue was discovered when the device was flashed with a development firmware version where the reset routine took longer to complete. The issue was fixed in the firmware, but it exposed the fact that the current wait time is borderline. Fix by increasing the wait time from 200ms to 400ms. With this patch and the buggy firmware version, the issue did not reproduce in 10 reboots whereas without the patch the issue is reproduced quite consistently.
