PS/2 + i8042 intermixing commands

[Raul Rangel]

I'm debugging a resume issue on one of our devices using the v5.4
kernel. The device has a PS/2 atkbd and a PS/2 touchpad. It looks like
PS/2 commands are getting intermingled with i8042 commands. This
results in our keyboard controller thinking it got some invalid data.
This usually happens 1 out of 1500 resumes.

Here is the log from my keyboard controller on a good resume.

I've added some comments to make it easier to follow:

As you can see CMD #10 starts between #13 and #14, and then completes
after #14. Is this expected behavior?

I'm not quite sure if #13 and #14 are coming from i8042_port_close. I
don't have a function trace available, but it seems to fit.

I found this comment:
/*
 * Writers to AUX and KBD ports as well as users issuing i8042_command
 * directly should acquire i8042_mutex (by means of calling
 * i8042_lock_chip() and i8042_unlock_ship() helpers) to ensure that
 * they do not disturb each other (unfortunately in many i8042
 * implementations write to one of the ports will immediately abort
 * command that is being processed by another port).
 */
static DEFINE_MUTEX(i8042_mutex);

Does that not mean that i8042_port_close, i8042_enable_kbd_port,
i8042_enable_aux_port, + any other function that calls i8042_command
should be taking the lock before calling i8042_command?

Imagine this scenario:
1) atkbd_set_leds->ps2_command: locks i8042_mutex
2) __ps2_command->ps2_do_sendbyte->i8042_kbd_write
2a) locks i8042_lock
2b) Sends the kbd command
2c) unlocks i8042_lock
3) i8042_port_close/i8042_enable_aux_port/etc gets called and then
calls i8042_command
3a) locks i8042_lock
3b) sends 8042 CMD
3c) sends 8042 DATA
3d) unlocks i8042_lock
3e) i8042_command returns
4)  ps2_do_sendbyte continues sending the kb param via i8042_kbd_write
4a) locks i8042_lock
4b) Sends the kbd data <- Original data got stomped on because of the
8042 CMD in between
4c) unlocks i8042_lock
4c) ps2_command unlocks i8042_mutex

Is this an invalid sequence or is our keyboard controller at fault
because it doesn't support intermingled commands?

Thanks,
Raul

p.s, sorry for sending twice. I forgot to set the original as plain text :)
