pci_endpoint_test_irqhandler() always rewrites the status register when an IRQ is raised, either as-is if STATUS_IRQ_RAISED is not set, or with STATUS_IRQ_RAISED cleared if that flag is set. The first case creates a race window with the endpoint side, meaning that the host side test driver may end up reading what it just wrote, thus losing the real status as set by the endpoint side before raising the next interrupt. This can prevent detecting that the STATUS_IRQ_RAISED flag was set by the endpoint. Remove this race window by not clearing the STATUS_IRQ_RAISED status flag and not rewriting that register for every IRQ received.

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.
