dc3029056bThere are only a few drivers that do not call spi_finalize_current_message() in the context of transfer_one_message(), and even for those cases the completion ctlr->cur_msg_completion is not needed always. The calls to complete() and wait_for_completion() each take a spin-lock, which is costly. This patch makes it possible to avoid those calls in the big majority of cases, by introducing two flags that with the help of ordering via barriers can avoid using the completion safely. In case of a race with the context calling spi_finalize_current_message(), the scheme errs on the safe side and takes the completion. The impact of this patch is worth the effort: On a i.MX8MM SoC, the time the SPI bus is idle between two consecutive calls to spi_sync(), is reduced from 19.6us to 16.8us... roughly 15%.

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 Restructured Text 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.
