I am struggling with this problem for several weeks with no success.
I am using spi-omap2-mcspi to drive a network card based on enc28j60 and
everything works perfect if I define
DMA_MIN_BYTES = 0 (force to use DMA only) or DMA_MIN_BYTES = 99999 (force to
use PIO only).
But if I use the original value of 160, the board can send out 10 to 20 pings
approximately
and if for any reason the drive switch from PIO to DMA what will be decided by
the size of data,
some workqueue tasks hung and the card stops.
I am running with "lockdep" and "detect hung tasks" and I can see that four
tasks are stopped,
three from enc28j60 and one from spi-omap2-mcspi.
The mcspi is stopped in spi-omap2.mcspi.c:480 to wait the completion of
omap2_mcspi_rx_callback
that it never happens.
468 if (tx) {
469 tx->callback = omap2_mcspi_rx_callback;
470 tx->callback_param = spi;
471 dmaengine_submit(tx);
472 } else {
473 /* FIXME: fall back to PIO? */
474 }
475 }
476
477 dma_async_issue_pending(mcspi_dma->dma_rx);
478 omap2_mcspi_set_dma_req(spi, 1, 1);
479
480 wait_for_completion(&mcspi_dma->dma_rx_completion);
481 dma_unmap_single(mcspi->dev, xfer->rx_dma, count,
482 DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
Any help/suggestion is welcome. Need more information, please let me know, I
have much
more details.
Thank you.
