On Intel Denverton SoC ismt controller may enter weird state when transaction gets stuck. It times out in the driver, but unless transaction is explicitly killed in the controller, it won't be able to perform new transactions anymore. The issue is extremely difficult to reproduce and may take weeks of non- stop smbus traffic. Numerous hours with logic analyzer didn't yield any useful results, it looks like the controller stops toggling SCK line, i.e. the issue is likely in the controller, since device doesn't do clock stretching, so nothing is driving SCK except the host. Explicitly kill transaction on timeout to recover the controller from this state. Signed-off-by: Vasily Khoruzhick <vasilykh@arista.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Shyti <andi.shyti@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
