Sure, I'm mostly interested in understanding what that race is. I think
it is something like cur_mcmd being stale when it's tested in the irq
handler because the IO access triggers the irq before mas->cur_mcmd can
be updated due to out of order execution. Nothing stops
spi_geni_set_cs() from being reordered like this, especially because
there isn't any sort of barrier besides the compiler barrier of asm
volatile inside geni_set_setup_m_cmd():

CPU0 (device write overtakes CPU) CPU1
---- ----
mas->cur_mcmd = CMD_NONE;
geni_se_setup_m_cmd(...)
geni_spi_isr()
<tests cur_mcmd and it's still NONE>
mas->cur_mcmd = CMD_CS;

Fair enough.

Sounds good to not use irq save/restore here. Thanks for confirming.

Yes that's another thing that can be done.

This is a writel to a device so it may take some time for the memory
barrier to drain any other writes with the full memory barrier in there.
Not sure if we care about getting super high performance here but that's
a concern.

Why do we need such large locking areas? Why can't we remove the enum
software tracking stuff and look at mas->cur_xfer to figure out if a cs
change is happening or not? I suppose mas->cur_xfer could be stale, so
we need to make sure that is modified and checked under a lock, and then
mas->rx_rem_bytes/tx_rem_bytes also need to be under a lock because
they're modified inside and outside the irq handler, but otherwise I
don't see any need to hold the lock over the register reads/writes. Most
other things are synchronized with the completions or in higher layers
of the SPI core.

I do wonder if we need to hold the lock again when we update the rx/tx
remaining bytes counter but I can't convince myself that the irq can run
on another CPU in parallel with the CPU that ran the irq first. That
seems impossible given that the interrupt would have to come again and
the irq controller would need to send it to a different CPU at the same
time. We should only need to grab the lock to make sure that cur_xfer
and remaining bytes is published by the CPU triggering the rx/tx
transfers and then assume the irq handler code is synchronous with
itself.
