QAT GEN2 devices suffer from a defect where the MSI interrupt can be sent multiple times. If the second (spurious) interrupt is handled before the bottom half handler runs, then the extra interrupt is effectively ignored because the bottom half is only scheduled once. However, if the top half runs again after the bottom half runs, this will appear as a spurious PF to VF interrupt. This can be avoided by checking the interrupt mask register in addition to the interrupt source register in the interrupt handler. This patch is based on earlier work done by Conor McLoughlin.

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.
