commit f164d0204b1156a7e0d8d1622c1a8d25752befec upstream. If the hi3110 shares the SPI bus with another traffic-intensive device and packets are received in high volume (by a separate machine sending with "cangen -g 0 -i -x"), reception stops after a few minutes and the counter in /proc/interrupts stops incrementing. Bus state is "active". Bringing the interface down and back up reconvenes the reception. The issue is not observed when the hi3110 is the sole device on the SPI bus. Using a level-triggered interrupt makes the issue go away and lets the hi3110 successfully receive 2 GByte over the course of 5 days while a ks8851 Ethernet chip on the same SPI bus handles 6 GByte of traffic. Unfortunately the hi3110 datasheet is mum on the trigger type. The pin description on page 3 only specifies the polarity (active high): http://www.holtic.com/documents/371-hi-3110_v-rev-kpdf.do Cc: Mathias Duckeck <m.duckeck@kunbus.de> Cc: Akshay Bhat <akshay.bhat@timesys.com> Cc: Casey Fitzpatrick <casey.fitzpatrick@timesys.com> Signed-off-by: Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de> Cc: linux-stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
