Admin reply processing can be called from multiple contexts. The driver uses an atomic flag for synchronization among multiple threads/context for draining the admin replies. Upon entering the admin processing routine, the driver will set the atomic flag and start reply processing. When exiting the routine, the driver resets the flag. However, there is a race condition when one thread (Thread 1) has processed replies and is about to reset the flag but in the meantime few more replies are posted and another thread (Thread 2) is called to process replies. Since the synchronization flag is still set, Thread 2 will return without processing replies and those new replies will not be flushed. Make the watchdog thread monitor cases where admin ISR/poll call returns due to another thread processing admin replies. If such an instance is found, make driver call admin ISR to drain replies (if any).

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 reStructuredText 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.
