I believe this will be the case before our "lateeoi" handling is becoming active (more precise: when our IRQ handler is returning to handle_fasteoi_irq()), resulting in the possibility of the same race we are experiencing now.I am a bit confused what you mean by "lateeoi" handling is becoming active. Can you clarify?See above: the next call of the handler should be allowed only after xen_irq_lateeoi() for the IRQ has been called. If the handler is being called earlier we have the race resulting in the WARN() splats.I feel it is dislike to understand race with just words. Can you provide
Sorry I meant difficult rather than dislike. Cheers, -- Julien Grall
