Leo Yang 7475a3e353 mctp i3c: fix MCTP I3C driver multi-thread issue 
[ Upstream commit 2d2d4f60ed ]

We found a timeout problem with the pldm command on our system.  The
reason is that the MCTP-I3C driver has a race condition when receiving
multiple-packet messages in multi-thread, resulting in a wrong packet
order problem.

We identified this problem by adding a debug message to the
mctp_i3c_read function.

According to the MCTP spec, a multiple-packet message must be composed
in sequence, and if there is a wrong sequence, the whole message will be
discarded and wait for the next SOM.
For example, SOM → Pkt Seq #2 → Pkt Seq #1 → Pkt Seq #3 → EOM.

Therefore, we try to solve this problem by adding a mutex to the
mctp_i3c_read function.  Before the modification, when a command
requesting a multiple-packet message response is sent consecutively, an
error usually occurs within 100 loops.  After the mutex, it can go
through 40000 loops without any error, and it seems to run well.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
