[PATCH 2/6] media: rockchip: rkcif: fix the MIPI stop path locking

From: Daniel Golle

Date: Tue Nov 03 2026 - 06:18:13 EST


rkcif_mipi_stop_streaming() takes the subdev state mutex, and the
interrupt handler calls it at the frame end that completes a stop. A
mutex taken in hard interrupt context sleeps when it is contended, and
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP reports the call on every stream stop. The
state itself is not read on either path; the lock serialises the
read-modify-write of the interrupt enable and status registers, which
the streams of a MIPI block share.

Guard those registers with a spinlock per interface, taken with
interrupts disabled, so that the handler and the process context paths
exclude each other, and leave the subdev state alone.
