    pinctrl/amd: fix masking of GPIO interrupts · 6afb1026
    Daniel Drake authored
    On Asus laptop models X505BA, X505BP, X542BA and X542BP, the i2c-hid
    touchpad (using a GPIO for interrupts) becomes unresponsive after a
    few minutes of usage, or after placing two fingers on the touchpad,
    which seems to have the effect of queuing up a large amount of input
    data to be transferred.
    
    When the touchpad is in unresponsive state, we observed that the GPIO
    level-triggered interrupt is still at it's active level, however the
    pinctrl-amd driver is not receiving/dispatching more interrupts at this
    point.
    
    After the initial interrupt arrives, amd_gpio_irq_mask() is called
    however we then see amd_gpio_irq_handler() being called repeatedly for
    the same irq; the interrupt mask is not taking effect because of the
    following sequence of events:
     - amd_gpio_irq_handler fires, reads and caches pin reg
     - amd_gpio_irq_handler calls generic_handle_irq()
     - During IRQ handling, amd_gpio_irq_mask() is called and modifies pin reg
     - amd_gpio_irq_handler clears interrupt by writing cached value
    
    The stale cached value written at the final stage undoes the masking.
    Fix this by re-reading the register before clearing the interrupt.
    
    I also spotted that the interrupt-clearing code can race against
    amd_gpio_irq_mask() / amd_gpio_irq_unmask(), so add locking there.
    Presumably this race was leading to the loss of interrupts.
    
    After these changes, the touchpad appears to be working fine.
