[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 08/12] ASoC: SOF: ipc: fix a race, leading to IPC timeouts

From: Guennadi Liakhovetski <guennadi.liakhovetski at linux.intel.com>

Currently on all supported platforms the IPC IRQ thread first signals
the sender when an IPC response is received from the DSP, then
unmasks the IPC interrupt. Those actions are performed without
holding any locks, so the thread can be interrupted between them. IPC
timeouts have been observed in such scenarios: if the sender is woken
up and it proceeds with sending the next message without unmasking
the IPC interrupt, it can miss the next response. This patch takes a
spin-lock to prevent the IRQ thread from being preempted at that
point. It also makes sure, that the next IPC transmission by the host
cannot take place before the IRQ thread has finished updating all the
required IPC registers.

Fixes: 53e0c72d98b ("ASoC: SOF: Add support for IPC IO between DSP and Host")
