IRQ polling thread calls ISR after enable_irq() to handle any missed IO completion. atomic flag "in_used" was added to have the synchronization between the IRQ polling thread and the interrupt context. There is a bug around it leading to a race condition. Below is the sequence: -IRQ polling thread accesses ISR, fetches the reply descriptor. -Real interrupt arrives and pre-empts polling thread(see enable_irq() is already called). -Interrupt context picks the same reply descriptor as fetched by polling thread, processes it, and exits. -Polling thread resumes and processes the descriptor which is already processed by interrupt thread leads to kernel crash. Setting the "in_used" flag before fetching the reply descriptor ensures synchronized access to ISR.
