Linux kernel source tree
343f5683cf
The firmware sends a response and interrupts the driver before advancing
the mailbox send ring head pointer. As a result, the driver may observe
the response and attempt to send a new request before the firmware has
updated the head pointer. In this window, the send ring still appears
full, causing the driver to incorrectly fail the send operation.
This race can be triggered more easily in a multithreaded environment,
leading to unexpected and spurious "send ring full" failures.
To address this, poll the send ring head pointer for up to 100us before
returning a full-ring condition. This allows the firmware time to update
the head pointer.

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.
