ahci_multi_irqs_intr_hard() takes the ap->lock before calling
ahci_handle_port_interrupt(), which calls ahci_port_intr(),
so I don't think there is any work needed for multi IRQ AHCI.

For ahci_single_level_irq_intr() the host lock is taken before
calling ahci_handle_port_intr(), so I don't see why we need any
extra work for single IRQ AHCI.


Remember, while the default is that:
ap->lock = &host->lock;
see:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.1/drivers/ata/libata-core.c#L5305

In case of MULTI MSI, the ap->lock is using its own lock:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.1/drivers/ata/libahci.c#L2460


So what is it that needs to be fixed for AHCI?

I haven't looked at ahci_thunderx_irq_handler() and xgene_ahci_irq_intr()
so I can't speak for these.


Kind regards,
Niklas
