Subject: [PATCH] drm/imagination: Fix deadlock in soft reset sequence
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2026 15:23:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309-fix-soft-reset-v1-1-121113be554f@imgtec.com> (raw)
The soft reset sequence is currently executed from the threaded IRQ
handler, hence it cannot call disable_irq() which internally waits
for IRQ handlers, i.e. itself, to complete.
Use disable_irq_nosync() during a soft reset instead.
Fixes: cc1aeedb98ad ("drm/imagination: Implement firmware infrastructure and META FW support")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
