The data race happens on ps2dev->cmdcnt and ps2dev->cmdbuf contents. __ps2_command reads that data concurrently with the interrupt handler. As the result, for example, if a response arrives just after the timeout, __ps2_command can copy out garbage from ps2dev->cmdbuf but then see that ps2dev->cmdcnt is 0 and return success. Stop the interrupt handler with serio_pause_rx() before reading the results. The data race was found with KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN).
