not quite get. do you mean the fault should not be cleared in the caller side?
I meant:
if (fsts) *fsts = fault;
unless there is a reason to *OR* the original value.
I guess no such a reason. :) let me modify it.
hmmm, replied too soon. The qi_check_fault() would be called multiple times in one invalidation circle as qi_submit_sync() needs to see if any fault happened before the hw writes back QI_DONE to the wait descriptor. There can be ICE which may eventually result in ITE. So caller of qi_check_fault() would continue to wait for QI_DONE. So qi_check_fault() returns 0 to let qi_submit_sync() go on though ICE detected. If we use '*fsts = fault;', then ICE would be missed since the input fsts pointer is the same in one qi_submit_sync() call.
Is it necessary to return fault to user if qi_check_fault() return -EAGAIN and a restart run succeeds?
Issue a device-TLB invalidation to no response device there is possibility
will be trapped there loop for ITE , never get return.
Thanks,
Ethan
