-Subject: [PATCH 086/203] irqchip: armada-370-xp: fix MSI race condition
-
-In the Armada 370/XP driver, when we receive an IRQ 1, we read the
-list of doorbells that caused the interrupt from register
-ARMADA_370_XP_IN_DRBEL_CAUSE_OFFS. This gives the list of MSIs that
-were generated. However, instead of acknowledging only the MSIs that
-were generated, we acknowledge *all* the MSIs, by writing
-~MSI_DOORBELL_MASK in the ARMADA_370_XP_IN_DRBEL_CAUSE_OFFS register.
-
-This creates a race condition: if a new MSI that isn't part of the
-ones read into the temporary "msimask" variable is fired before we
-acknowledge all MSIs, then we will simply loose it.
-
-It is important to mention that this ARMADA_370_XP_IN_DRBEL_CAUSE_OFFS
-register has the following behavior: "A CPU write of 0 clears the bits
-in this field. A CPU write of 1 has no effect". This is what allows us
-to simply write ~msimask to acknoledge the handled MSIs.
-
-Notice that the same problem is present in the IPI implementation, but
-it is fixed as a separate patch, so that this IPI fix can be pushed to
-older stable versions as appropriate (all the way to 3.8), while the
-MSI code only appeared in 3.13.
