The condition break condition of: (int)(VAL - sync_idx) >= 0 in the __arm_smmu_sync_poll_msi() polling loop requires that sync_idx must be increased monotonically according to the sequence of the CMDs in the cmdq. However, since the msidata is populated using atomic_inc_return_relaxed() before taking the command-queue spinlock, then the following scenario can occur: CPU0 CPU1 msidata=0 msidata=1 insert cmd1 insert cmd0 smmu execute cmd1 smmu execute cmd0 poll timeout, because msidata=1 is overridden by cmd0, that means VAL=0, sync_idx=1. This is not a functional problem, since the caller will eventually either timeout or exit due to another CMD_SYNC, however it's clearly not what the code is supposed to be doing. Fix it, by incrementing the sequence count with the command-queue lock held, allowing us to drop the atomic operations altogether.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
