[PATCH] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Convert to use atomic poll timeout

From: Pranjal Shrivastava <praan@google.com>
Date: 2026-07-28 21:11:42
Also in: linux-iommu
Subsystem: arm smmu drivers, iommu subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Will Deacon, Joerg Roedel, Linus Torvalds

The arm_smmu_write_reg_sync() helper is currently implemented using
readl_relaxed_poll_timeout() (that relies on usleep_range() internally)
which becomes a critical issue when used in the gerror irq handler.

If the SMMU hits a gerror and enters Service Failure Mode
(GERROR_SFM_ERR), the gerror handler calls arm_smmu_device_disable() in
hard-irq context. This becomes a problem as arm_smmu_device_disable()
inevitably calls arm_smmu_write_reg_sync() which might attempt to sleep
inside a hard-irq context.

Fix this by converting the arm_smmu_write_reg_sync to use the
readl_relaxed_poll_timeout_atomic() polling helper.

(Discovered while running Sashiko locally on another patch series).
