[ARM] 5022/1: Race in ARM MMCI PL18x driver, V2
Updated version of 4446/1. This also drops the suggested comparison of host_remain for == 0, since that doesn't make sense (still works for us, too). We have verified that this patch solve race problems on atleast 2 archs at high frequencies. (Verbatim copy of old patch text below.) The patch below fixes a race condition in the ARM MMCI PL18x driver. If new data arrives in the FIFO while existing data is being read then we get a second iteration of the loop in mmci_pio_read. However host->size is not updated until after mmci_pio_read returns, so we get count = number of new bytes PLUS number of bytes already copied in the first iteration. This results in a FIFO underrun as we try and read mode data than is available. The fix is to compensating for data read on previous iterations when calculating the amount of data in the FIFO.
