Without RT, udc_irq runs as a forced threaded irq handler, so it runs without any interruption or preemption. NO similar case is found on non-RT.
I see only a devm_request_irq() so no force-threading here. Booting with
threadirqs would not lead to the problem since commit

If this function here is sensitive to timing (say the cpu_relax() loop gets interrupt for 1ms) then it has to be documented as such.The controller sets ENDPTSETUPSTAT register if the host sent a setup packet. yes it is a timing problem. I will document that and resubmit again if you agree that local_irq_save could help from the timing problem. Thanks for the advice.
If it is really a timing issue in the function as you describe below then disabling interrupts would help and it is indeed an RT only issue. So you read OP_ENDPTSETUPSTAT, it is 0, all good. You write OP_ENDPTPRIME, wait for it to be cleared. Then you read OP_ENDPTSETUPSTAT again and if it is 0, all good. And the TWD interrupt could delay say the second read would read 1 and it is invalidated. Which looks odd. However, it is "okay" if the TWD interrupt happens after the second read? Even if the host sends a setup packet, nothing breaks? Do you have numbers on how long irq-off section is here? It seems to depend on how long the HW needs to clear the OP_ENDPTPRIME bits. Sebastian
