Subject: net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Fix race condition while unmasking interrupts
From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 4f101c47791cdcb831b3ef1f831b1cc51e4fe03c ]
We kept shadow copies of which interrupt sources we have enabled and
disabled, but due to an order bug in how intrl2_mask_clear was defined,
we could run into the following scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
intrl2_1_mask_clear(..)
sets INTRL2_CPU_MASK_CLEAR
bcm_sf2_switch_1_isr
read INTRL2_CPU_STATUS and masks with stale
irq1_mask value
updates irq1_mask value
Which would make us loop again and again trying to process and interrupt
we are not clearing since our copy of whether it was enabled before
still indicates it was not. Fix this by updating the shadow copy first,
and then unasking at the HW level.
