[PATCH 2/3] ata: sata_dwc_460ex: fix data race on hsdev->sactive_issued in interrupt handler

From: Rosen Penev

Date: Wed Jul 22 2026 - 20:14:03 EST


hsdev->sactive_issued is written locklessly in sata_dwc_isr() before
acquiring host->lock, while sata_dwc_qc_complete() performs a
read-modify-write on the same field under the lock. This creates a
data race that can corrupt NCQ tag tracking state.

Move the zero assignment inside the critical section so all accesses
to sactive_issued are serialized by host->lock.
