Maybe the important thing here is also that I use -rt?! Best regards Uwe

My point here is that the analysis of the issue shouldn't depend on spidev in particular, if you need to call out the specific driver you're working with that's an alarm sign that it's doing something weird and perhaps the problem is with the driver.

This just happens to be the driver I saw the problem with. Don't have another spi device on that bus to cross check with other drivers. I wouldn't be too concerned here. Best regards Uwe

Sure, but it's better to write it up in terms of a generic driver - it's the difference between "let's work around this driver" and "the core isn't doing the right thing for drivers here".

OK, so something like: ------------>8------------ spi: trigger trace event for message-done before mesg->complete The message's complete callback might (permissibly) free the memory that holds the message. As recording the trace event for the end of a transfer accesses this message the recording is better done first. This fixes an oops observed on a 3.14-rt system with bus activity using spidev after echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/spi/enable . (For spidev mesg->complete points to spidev_complete. Calling that unblocks spidev_sync and so spidev_sync_write (or spidev_sync_read). This in turn leaves the scope of the local variable that holds the message.) ------------>8------------ Best regards Uwe

Yes, that's the sort of thing I was looking for - it just makes the review a bit easier.

With spidev the mesg->complete callback points to spidev_complete. Calling this unblocks spidev_sync and so spidev_sync_write finishes. As the struct spi_message just read is a local variable in spidev_sync_write and recording the trace event accesses this message the recording is better done first. The same can happen for spidev_sync_read. This fixes an oops observed on a 3.14-rt system with spidev activity after echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/spi/enable .
