ACPI: ec: fix race in status register access
Delay the read of the EC status register until after the event that caused it occurs -- otherwise it is possible to read and act on stale status that was associated with the previous event. Do this with a perpetually incrementing "event_count" to detect when a new event occurs and it is safe to read status. There is no workaround for polling mode -- it is inherently exposed to reading and acting on stale status, since it doesn't have an interrupt to tell it the event completed. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8110 Signed-off-by: Alexey Starikovskiy <alexey.y.starikovskiy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
