[PATCH 0/2] Prevent races when doing read-modify-write of INTMASK

From: Doug Anderson
Date: Tue Oct 15 2013 - 18:44:39 EST


Bing Zhao at Marvell discovered a race in the way that dw_mmc was
doing a read-modify-write of the INTMASK register. This 2-patch
series attempts to fix the problem using a simple spinlock. In order
to do so cleanly, we include a patch to tidy up the way that we
disable low power mode when using SDIO interrupts.

This patch series was not tested on ToT Linux other than basic
compiling and booting, since we don't have the whole Marvell SDIO
stack up and running in mainline yet. This series is based on
mmc-next (e76b855 mmc: sdhci-esdhc-imx: set actual_clock in clock
setting) merged atop mainlinx Linux.

mmc: dw_mmc: Protect read-modify-write of INTMASK with a lock
