Prevent st_lsm6dsx_read_fifo and st_lsm6dsx_read_tagged_fifo functions
from falling in an infinite loop in case pattern_len is equal to zero and
the device FIFO is not empty.

I do not think this check is necessary since if fifo_len is 0 we will not run
the for loop, right?

same here, I do not think pattern_len can be 0 since hw->sip must be greater
than 0 in order to enable the FIFO. Moreover, this check should be some lines
above since we have already divided fifo_len by pattern_len here.

for the reason above, this is not necessary.

This check is present in the st_lsm6dsx_read_tagged_fifo() function, i
added it here for consistency. I agree with you that is not strictly
necessary.

There is a situation causing the subsequent for loop to never
terminate, hanging the kernel boot process: given a system which
doesn't have an hardware reset line allowing the kernel to
re-initialize the IMU hardware, in case of an hot reboot the driver
probe() function attempts to flush the FIFO, which may contain some
data, while the hw->sip is zero.
The complete execution path is the following:
- call of st_lsm6dsx_probe();
- allocation of the st_lsm6dsx_hw structure via the devm_kzalloc,
zero-initializing the sip field;
- call of st_lsm6dsx_init_device();
- call of st_lsm6dsx_reset_device();
- call of st_lsm6dsx_flush_fifo();
- call of st_lsm6dsx_read_fifo/st_lsm6dsx_read_tagged_fifo via the
fifo_ops function pointer.

An alternative solution to solve this situation is initializing the
hw->sip field to a sane default value in either the probe() or
init_device() function.

ack, I can see the issue now, thx for pointing this out. I should we should set
pattern_len to ST_LSM6DSX_SAMPLE_SIZE or ST_LSM6DSX_TAGGED_SAMPLE_SIZE if it is
0. Can you please move the check before updating fifo_len in
st_lsm6dsx_read_fifo()?

Lorenzo

Prevent st_lsm6dsx_read_fifo and st_lsm6dsx_read_tagged_fifo functions
from falling in an infinite loop in case pattern_len is equal to zero and
the device FIFO is not empty.

Changes done, I sent the updated patch in a separate reply email: I
hope that doing so didn't cause any trouble.
