    genirq: Fix race on spurious interrupt detection · 746a923b
    Lukas Wunner authored
    Commit 1e77d0a1 ("genirq: Sanitize spurious interrupt detection of
    threaded irqs") made detection of spurious interrupts work for threaded
    handlers by:
    
    a) incrementing a counter every time the thread returns IRQ_HANDLED, and
    b) checking whether that counter has increased every time the thread is
       woken.
    
    However for oneshot interrupts, the commit unmasks the interrupt before
    incrementing the counter.  If another interrupt occurs right after
    unmasking but before the counter is incremented, that interrupt is
    incorrectly considered spurious:
    
    time
     |  irq_thread()
     |    irq_thread_fn()
     |      action->thread_fn()
     |      irq_finalize_oneshot()
     |        unmask_threaded_irq()            /* interrupt is unmasked */
     |
     |                  /* interrupt fires, incorrectly deemed spurious */
     |
     |    atomic_inc(&desc->threads_handled); /* counter is incremented */
     v
    
    This is observed with a hi3110 CAN controller receiving data at high volume
    (from a separate machine sending with "cangen -g 0 -i -x"): The controller
    signals a huge number of interrupts (hundreds of millions per day) and
    every second there are about a dozen which are deemed spurious.
    
    In theory with high CPU load and the presence of higher priority tasks, the
    number of incorrectly detected spurious interrupts might increase beyond
    the 99,900 threshold and cause disablement of the interrupt.
    
    In practice it just increments the spurious interrupt count. But that can
    cause people to waste time investigating it over and over.
    
    Fix it by moving the accounting before the invocation of
    irq_finalize_oneshot().
