Guenter Roeck ea84a44250 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.

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