[PATCH v14 03/15] accel/rocket: wait for a running IRQ handler before resetting a core

drm_sched_stop() does not wait for a threaded handler that is already
running. Call synchronize_irq() after it, outside job_lock, which the
handler takes.
Before the sync, mask the block's interrupt and clear its raw status, so
that an active core cannot signal a completion after it. Do that under
job_lock, since rocket_job_hw_submit() arms the same mask under that lock,
and only when pm_runtime_get_if_active() returns a positive count: the
reset holds no runtime PM reference, and with the domain down a register
access takes an async SError.
Igor Paunovic's induced-reset runs on RK3588, including a two-task job that
puts hw_submit() on the IRQ thread, found no fault; as he put it, "this
does not show the race is closed".

- * Remaining interrupts have been handled, but we might still have
- * stuck jobs. Let's make sure the PM counters stay balanced by
- * manually calling pm_runtime_put_noidle().
+ * Mask the block before waiting. hw_submit() arms INTERRUPT_MASK on
+ * every submit and only the hardirq clears it, so on an ordinary
+ * timeout it is still live and a completion can arrive after the sync
+ * returns. The next submit re-arms it, so nothing is lost here.
+ *
+ * Only when the device is already awake, though. This function holds no
+ * runtime PM reference of its own: the only one in the window belongs to
+ * in_flight_job, and the completion path may have put it and cleared the
+ * pointer before the timeout worker got here. drm_sched_stop() above can
+ * block for a long time, and it drops every pending job's credits, so
+ * rocket_job_is_idle() is true and nothing keeps the core resumed. On
+ * this hardware a register access with the domain down takes an async
+ * SError, so a reset must not be the thing that causes one.
+ *
+ * Only a positive answer will do. pm_runtime_get_if_active() tests
+ * power.disable_depth before power.runtime_status, so -EINVAL MASKS a
+ * suspended device rather than excluding one: pm_runtime_force_suspend(),
+ * which is this driver's own system suspend callback, disables runtime PM
+ * first and turns the clocks off second, and rocket_core_fini() suspends
+ * the core and disables before it cancels the timeout worker. Both leave
+ * the domain down with -EINVAL on offer.
+ *
+ * The cost is the other half of that ambiguity. A core that is still up
+ * with runtime PM disabled (pm_runtime_force_suspend() before its
+ * callback has run, or CONFIG_PM=n under COMPILE_TEST) is left unmasked,
+ * because writing to it would mean writing to the half that is down as
+ * well.
+ *
+ * Clear the raw status along with the mask, the way the completion path
+ * does. Masking alone leaves the DPU bit latched until
+ * rocket_core_reset(), and the hardirq decides on raw status alone, so a
+ * fault from the IOMMU that shares this line would wake the thread again
+ * and what the comment below asserts would stop being true.
+ *
+ * UNDER job_lock, because rocket_job_hw_submit() arms this same
+ * register and always runs under that lock. reset.pending is set here
+ * without the lock and read there with it, so a submit that has already
+ * passed its check can re-arm the mask after this clears it, and then
+ * the synchronize_irq() below fences a handler that is no longer the
+ * one that matters: the block is left running a task with its
+ * interrupt live. rocket_job_handle_irq() avoids the same race on
+ * OPERATION_ENABLE by making its completion writes under this lock.
+ *
+ * pm_runtime_get_if_active() does not invoke a callback -- it only
+ * takes a reference on an already-active device -- and
+ * pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() is asynchronous, so neither can re-enter
+ * this driver's runtime PM callbacks while the lock is held.
