From 016ef0f6ca4bc9bf0330ac41bd2ea349759643e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Jardin Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 08:28:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] i2c: imx: fix locked bus on SMBus block-read of 0 (atomic) [ Upstream commit cb2fc37857693b55909fb77dc2c87cfbc1cdc476 ] SMBus 3.1 6.5.7 allows a Block Read byte count of 0, but the atomic (polling) path rejects it as -EPROTO. Worse, it returns without a NACK+STOP: the next receive cycle has already started, so the target keeps holding SDA and the bus stays stuck until a power cycle for this i2c controller. Reading I2DR to obtain the count likewise arms the next byte on the count > I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX path, which also returned -EPROTO directly and left the bus held. Handle both: NACK the in-flight dummy byte (TXAK) and extend msgs->len so the existing last-byte handling emits STOP; the dummy byte is discarded. A count of 0 is a valid empty block read; a count above I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX is still reported as -EPROTO, but only after the bus has been released. The interrupt-driven path has the same flaw from a later commit and is fixed separately, as it carries a different Fixes: tag and stable range.
