Subject: atl1c: Fix work event interrupt/task races
From: Tim Gardner <[email protected]>
commit cb771838715b1c470bc5735bdae709b33b18e0ad upstream.
The mechanism used to initiate work events from the interrupt
handler has a classic read/modify/write race between the interrupt
handler that sets the condition, and the worker task that reads and
clears the condition. Close these races by using atomic
bit fields.
