Upon reading this code again, I stumbled over the barriers. You use
a readl_relaxed() without barrier but a writel() with barrier. Is
that intentional? Are you sure that you don't need a full readl()
to guarantee that all inbound DMA that was sent by the device before
the MSI message has arrived by the time the interrupt handler function
is called? It depends on the implementation of the MSI controller whether
that guarantee is already made by the fact that you are handling the
interrupt.
