[PATCH] iio: proximity: rfd77402: Fix completion race condition in IRQ mode
Posted by Felix Gu 1 month, 1 week ago
In IRQ mode, the completion was being reinitialized after the
measurement command had already been sent to the hardware. This
created a race condition where the IRQ handler could call complete()
before reinit_completion() was executed. Consequently,
wait_for_completion_timeout() would fail to see the signal and wait
until it timed out.

Move reinit_completion() to occur before the measurement command is
triggered to ensure the synchronization primitive is ready to
capture the interrupt.

Looks good to me.

Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git. Note I just sent a pull
request on that so will probably rebase after that (hopefully) gets
merged into char-misc-linus.

Thanks,

Looks good to me. Shrikant, you know this driver better than I do so if you
can take a look as well that would be great.

Thanks,
