[PATCH] sdhci: fix the fake timeout bug

From: Alek Du
Date: Fri Nov 30 2018 - 01:02:28 EST


We observed some fake timeouts on some devices, the log is like this:

[ 7586.290201] mmc1: Timeout waiting for hardware cmd interrupt.
[ 7586.290420] mmc1: sdhci: ============ SDHCI REGISTER DUMP ===========
...
[ 7586.291774] mmc1: sdhci: Wake-up: 0x00000000 | Clock: 0x00000203

>From the clock control register dump, we are pretty sure the clock was
stabilized.

In other cases, we also observed:

[ 7596.530171] mmc1: Timeout waiting for hardware cmd interrupt.

and

[ 1956.534634] mmc1: Reset 0x2 never completed.

But we are pretty sure the mmc controller is working perfectly under low
system load.

After checking the sdhci code, we found the timeout check actually has a
little window that the CPU can be scheduled out and when it comes back,
the original time set or check is not valid.
