    crypto: ccp - Clear PSP interrupt status register before calling handler · 45121ad4
    Jeremi Piotrowski authored
    The PSP IRQ is edge-triggered (MSI or MSI-X) in all cases supported by
    the psp module so clear the interrupt status register early in the
    handler to prevent missed interrupts. sev_irq_handler() calls wake_up()
    on a wait queue, which can result in a new command being submitted from
    a different CPU. This then races with the clearing of isr and can result
    in missed interrupts. A missed interrupt results in a command waiting
    until it times out, which results in the psp being declared dead.
    
    This is unlikely on bare metal, but has been observed when running
    virtualized. In the cases where this is observed, sev->cmdresp_reg has
    PSP_CMDRESP_RESP set which indicates that the command was processed
    correctly but no interrupt was asserted.
    
    The full sequence of events looks like this:
    
    CPU 1: submits SEV cmd #1
    CPU 1: calls wait_event_timeout()
    CPU 0: enters psp_irq_handler()
    CPU 0: calls sev_handler()->wake_up()
    CPU 1: wakes up; finishes processing cmd #1
    CPU 1: submits SEV cmd #2
    CPU 1: calls wait_event_timeout()
    PSP:   finishes processing cmd #2; interrupt status is still set; no interrupt
    CPU 0: clears intsts
    CPU 0: exits psp_irq_handler()
    CPU 1: wait_event_timeout() times out; psp_dead=true
