Kernel fails to boot 50% of times (form build to build) with
RT-patchset applied due to the following race - on late boot
stages deferred_probe_work_func->omap_hsmmc_probe races with omap_device_late_ini.
The same issue has been reported now on linux-next (4.3) by Keerthy [1]
late_initcall
- deferred_probe_initcal() tries to re-probe all pending driver's probe.
- later on, some driver is probing in this case It's cpsw.c
(but could be any other drivers)
cpsw_init
- platform_driver_register
- really_probe
- driver_bound
- driver_deferred_probe_trigger
and boot proceed.
So, at this moment we have deferred_probe_work_func scheduled.
The issue happens because omap_device_late_init() do not take into
account that some drivers are present, but their probes were not
finished successfully and where deferred instead. This is the valid
case, and omap_device_late_init() should not idle such devices.
To fix this issue, the value of omap_device->_driver_status field
should be checked not only for BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER (driver is
present and has been bound to device successfully), but also checked
for BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER (driver about to be bound) - which means
driver is present and there was try to bind it to device.
