It also opens the possibility to potentially further optimize the async path also, since it doesn't need to take into account the direct sync path anymore. As an example for the performance gain, on an i.MX8MM SoC with a SPI CAN controller attached (MCP2518FD), the time the interrupt line stays active (which corresponds roughly with the time it takes to send 3 relatively short consecutive spi_sync messages) is reduced from 98us to only 72us by this patch. A note about message ordering: This patch series should not change the behavior of message ordering when coming from the same context. This means that if a client driver issues one or more spi_async() messages immediately followed by a spi_sync() message in the same context, it can still rely on these messages being sent out in the order they were fired. --- v2: - Avoid API change to spi_finalize_current_message - Fixed NULL-pointer dereference for drivers that rely on ctlr->cur_msg - Removed intentional printk() statement - Split out into small patches to document how code is morphed David Jander (11): spi: Move ctlr->cur_msg_prepared to struct spi_message spi: Don't use the message queue if possible in spi_sync spi: Lock controller idling transition inside the io_mutex spi: __spi_pump_messages: Consolidate spin_unlocks to goto target spi: Remove check for controller idling in spi sync path spi: Remove check for idling in __spi_pump_messages() spi: Remove the now unused ctlr->idling flag spi: Remove unneeded READ_ONCE for ctlr->busy flag spi: Set ctlr->cur_msg also in the sync transfer case spi: Ensure the io_mutex is held until spi_finalize_current_message() spi: opportunistically skip ctlr->cur_msg_completion drivers/spi/spi.c | 305 ++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------- include/linux/spi/spi.h | 24 +++- 2 files changed, 202 insertions(+), 127 deletions(-)
