If datatimeout occurs on R1B request, the Data Path State Machine stays
in busy and is non-functional. Only a reset aborts the DPSM.

Please clarify/extend this information to tell that this is for the
variant, that keeps DPSM enabled and uses the data timer while sending
a CMD12. Or something along those lines.


yes, of course.


Like a reset must be outside of critical section, this patch adds

/s/critical section/atomic context

OK, thanks


threaded irq function to release state machine. In this case,
the mmc_request_done is called at the end of threaded irq and
skipped into irq handler.

In general it's a good idea to move drivers into using a threaded IRQ handler.

However, the reason this hasn't been done for mmci before, is because
there are some legacy variants, that doesn't support HW flow control.

With this patch, the mmci_irq_threaded is called only when
a datatimeout occurs on R1B request else the mmci_irq return IRQ_HANDLED
and the threaded irq is not called.
So normally, there is no impact for legacy variants.


Unless I am mistaken, that means when the fifo gets full during data
transfers - it's too late to act. In other words, running the handler
in hard IRQ context, should increase the probability of not missing
the deadline.

If a threaded IRQ handler also is sufficient for these legacy
variants, only tests can tell.

An option, would be to use a threaded handler for those variants that
supports HW flow control. Not sure how messy the code would be with
this option, perhaps you can give this a try?
For all these reasons you mentioned above, I'm not sure it's safe to extend the thread manager to anything other than "aborting the DPSM" on
R1B datatiemout ? what do you think about that?

I prefer just used the irq threaded for specific errors case which need
be outside of atomic context.
