Remove redundant BUG_ON calls or replace with WARN_ON_ONCE
as needed. Remove BUG() and make Rx and Tx case handling
similar.

Looks that this is still not correct. What if it transfer-complete flag
is set and buffer is full on RX? In this case the transfer will succeed
while it was a failure.

Actually error should be returned here since out-of-bounds memory
accesses must be avoided, hence:

ÂÂÂÂif (WARN_ON_ONCE(buf_remaining > 3))
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ return -EINVAL;
buf_remaining will be less than equal to 3 because of the expression

Ah yes, indeed!

I see that I am wrong and buf_remaining > 3 needs to be prevented at

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.2-rc4/source/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-tegra.c#L528

because of word_to_transfer is limited to rx_fifo_avail:

I shall add the check for less than 3 in both RX and TX cases in a separate patch in this series.

Better not to ignore this as well:

It ensures that buf_remaining will be 0 and we never hit the BUG_ON as
follows:

[1] Okay, but it doesn't ensure about rx_fifo_avail. So it could be:

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(rx_fifo_avail))
return -EINVAL;
I shall add the WARN_ON_ONCE.

It ensures buf_remaining will be less or equal to 3.

Okay, agree here.

Then here:

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ tegra_i2c_empty_rx_fifo(i2c_dev)) {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ i2c_dev->msg_err |= I2C_ERR_UNKNOWN_INTERRUPT;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ goto err;
ÂÂÂÂ}

Can you please elaborate why the condition needs to be as follows
instead of " if (WARN_ON_ONCE(i2c_dev->msg_buf_remaining)) " ?

ÂÂÂÂ if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!i2c_dev->msg_buf_remaining) ||
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ tegra_i2c_empty_rx_fifo(i2c_dev)) {

Because this is a "receive" transfer and hence it is a error condition
if the data-message was already fully received and then there is another
request from hardware to receive more data. So
"!i2c_dev->msg_buf_remaining" is the error condition here because there
is no more space in the buffer.

Looking at this again, seems checking for "if
(WARN_ON_ONCE(rx_fifo_avail))" in the above hunk [1] will be already
enough since a not fully drained RX FIFO means that there is no enough
space in the buffer. Then it could be:

if (tegra_i2c_empty_rx_fifo(i2c_dev)) {
i2c_dev->msg_err |= I2C_ERR_UNKNOWN_INTERRUPT;
goto err;
}

In the case "if (status & I2C_INT_PACKET_XFER_COMPLETE) {" , we do not have any tegra_i2c_empty_rx_fifo call today. In this current driver I do not see any code that checks for the buffer space and prevents RX FIFO from being drained. The transfer complete when seen must have already consumed all bytes of msg_buf_remaining in the call at the line

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.2-rc4/source/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-tegra.c#L860

So we can put the "WARN_ON_ONCE(i2c_dev->msg_buf_remaining) with msg_err assignment and goto err" to confirm if some corner case is not handled.

Planning to share updated patch.
