[PATCH 03/10] irqchip/gic-v5: Serialise IRS synchronisation requests

From: Sascha Bischoff

Date: Mon Nov 02 2026 - 08:34:44 EST


IRS_SYNCR writes are ignored while IRS_SYNC_STATUSR.IDLE is clear.
Calls to gicv5_irs_syncr() for different IRQs can overlap, allowing
the second request to be dropped. Its caller can then observe the
first request completing and assume that its own events have been
processed.

Serialise the request and completion poll with a raw spinlock. We use
atomic polling, as the lock cannot be held over a sleeping wait.
