mainlining shenanigans
77e89afc25
Multi-MSI uses a single MSI descriptor and there is a single mask register
when the device supports per vector masking. To avoid reading back the mask
register the value is cached in the MSI descriptor and updates are done by
clearing and setting bits in the cache and writing it to the device.
But nothing protects msi_desc::masked and the mask register from being
modified concurrently on two different CPUs for two different Linux
interrupts which belong to the same multi-MSI descriptor.
Add a lock to struct device and protect any operation on the mask and the
mask register with it.
This makes the update of msi_desc::masked unconditional, but there is no
place which requires a modification of the hardware register without
updating the masked cache.
msi_mask_irq() is now an empty wrapper which will be cleaned up in follow
up changes.
The problem goes way back to the initial support of multi-MSI, but picking
the commit which introduced the mask cache is a valid cut off point
(2.6.30).

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 Restructured Text 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.
