There's some redundancy between I801_HST_STS_MASK_NORM and STATUS_FLAGS... It would be great to clean this up a bit, otherwise it will become confusing. My impression is that your I801_HST_STS_MASK_NORM and my STATUS_FLAGS are essentially the same. It should be OK to handle SMBHSTSTS_BYTE_DONE in the interrupt handler. That bit is set between the bytes of block transactions when the block buffer isn't used. Your code doesn't enable interrupts for these transactions at the moment, so you will never see that bit for now, but it might happen later as we add support.
So I think I would change the code as follows:
/* Mask for events we normally handle */
#define STATUS_FLAGS (SMBHSTSTS_BYTE_DONE | SMBHSTSTS_FAILED | \ SMBHSTSTS_BUS_ERR | SMBHSTSTS_DEV_ERR | \ SMBHSTSTS_INTR)
/* Mask for all events */
#define STATUS_FLAGS_ALL (STATUS_FLAGS | SMBHSTSTS_SMBALERT_STS)
If that's OK with you, I'll do that change myself.

Great and thanks. Am really curious about the stability of this code :)
I'm hitting the first problems, with SMBus block transactions. They fail on my ICH3 with use_irq=1. That's strange because these transactions shouldn't make use of interrupts on the ICH3, but I still see the IRQ handler being called 3 times, and then the transaction times out. I'm debugging this now.

OK, I see what's going on. On this laptop, IRQ 9 is used by many things, not just SMBus. So the interrupt handler keeps being called even without SMBus activity or with polled-based SMBus activity. That's what happens during SMBus block transactions: the interrupt handler is called but not for us. However the interrupt handler thinks it is called by us and clears the status register value. This causes the polled-based loop to wait forever: by the time it looks for the status register value, it has been cleared.
So we need to change the code in either of three ways:
* Drop support for byte-by-byte block transactions.
* Inhibit the interrupt handler during polled-based block transactions.
* Convert the byteb-by-byte block transaction code to use interrupts instead of polling.
The latter would be cleaner, but that's also more work.

Erm, is this testing with or without your merging of the status flags defines? Maybe that is causing this?

Great and thanks. Am really curious about the stability of this code :)
I'm hitting the first problems, with SMBus block transactions. They fail on my ICH3 with use_irq=1. That's strange because these transactions shouldn't make use of interrupts on the ICH3, but I still see the IRQ handler being called 3 times, and then the transaction times out. I'm debugging this now.
OK, I see what's going on. On this laptop, IRQ 9 is used by many things, not just SMBus. So the interrupt handler keeps being called even without SMBus activity or with polled-based SMBus activity. That's what happens during SMBus block transactions: the interrupt handler is called but not for us. However the interrupt handler thinks it is called by us and clears the status register value. This causes the polled-based loop to wait forever: by the time it looks for the status register value, it has been cleared.

So we need to change the code in either of three ways:
* Drop support for byte-by-byte block transactions.
* Inhibit the interrupt handler during polled-based block transactions.
* Convert the byteb-by-byte block transaction code to use interrupts instead of polling.
The latter would be cleaner, but that's also more work.

Erm, is this testing with or without your merging of the status flags defines? Maybe that is causing this?
This is indeed with my merging of the status flag defines. But the problem would happen regardless: the interrupt handler resets all the status flags if any flag of I801_HST_STS_MASK_ALL, not just I801_HST_STS_MASK_NORM, is set.
You might argue that the interrupt handler could be modified to only reset the flags it knows about, i.e. I801_HST_STS_MASK_NORM. This is probably correct, but even then, it doesn't feel safe to have an interrupt handler triggered while poll-based code operated on the same register values.

I tried monday to add interrupt support to the byte-by-byte block transactions, but it's not working yet. Keeps messing up (and eventually crashing) my I2C bus.

True, it shouldn't happen. However, always only resetting flags it knows about seems to make sense in every case, or not?
Not sure when i'll have some more time to look into it though...

I did some experiment too but didn't have too much success either. My last attempt froze the system completely and I finally had to give up due to a lack of time.

I will be fine with anything that works.
One important thing is that you must not clear the BYTE_DONE flag before you are done handling the current data byte of the block transaction. I guess that the interrupt handler should be modified to read the block data byte and store it in the private data structure (as it does with the status register) before clearing the flags.

Same problem here...
