On multiple devices I work on, we noticed that /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/sci_not is non-zero and keeps increasing over time. It turns out that there is a race condition between servicing a GPE interrupt and handling task driven transactions. If a GPE interrupt is received at the same time ec_poll() is running, the advance_transaction() clears the GPE flag and the interrupt is not serviced as acpi_ev_detect_gpe() relies on the GPE flag to call the handler. As a result, `sci_not' is increased. To address this, move the GPE status check and clearing from advance_transaction() directly into acpi_ec_handle_interrupt(), so the EC GPE only gets cleared in the interrupt handling path.

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.
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.
