Hi!

Thanks for testing and the feedback!

Just to make sure: Are you compiling with CONFIG_PREEMPTION (and
therefore CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT)?

If yes, could you please also test the following patch? Because I am not
sure yet how polling can be false in a "polling required" situation,
meaning .master_xfer() is called instead of .master_xfer_atomic() (while
your test shows that irq_disabled() is true, which is basically done
with !preemptible()). The patch should test the other way round: if the
situation is found, force an atomic transfer instead.

Thank you!
