scsi: esp: Defer command completion until previous interrupts have been handled
The guest OS reads RSTAT, RSEQ, and RINTR, and expects those registers
to reflect a consistent state. However, it is possible that the registers
can change after RSTAT was read, but before RINTR is read, when
esp_command_complete() is called.
Guest OS qemu
-------- ----
[handle interrupt]
Read RSTAT
esp_command_complete()
RSTAT = STAT_ST
esp_dma_done()
RSTAT |= STAT_TC
RSEQ = 0
RINTR = INTR_BS
Read RSEQ
Read RINTR RINTR = 0
RSTAT &= ~STAT_TC
RSEQ = SEQ_CD
The guest OS would then try to handle INTR_BS combined with an old
value of RSTAT. This sometimes resulted in lost events, spurious
interrupts, guest OS confusion, and stalled SCSI operations.
A typical guest error log (observed with various versions of Linux)
looks as follows.
scsi host1: Spurious irq, sreg=13.
...
scsi host1: Aborting command [84531f10:2a]
scsi host1: Current command [f882eea8:35]
scsi host1: Queued command [84531f10:2a]
scsi host1: Active command [f882eea8:35]

Defer handling command completion until previous interrupts have been
handled to fix the problem.
