This outlines a bigger issue. If your irqchip doesn't require
mask/unmask, you're probably not using the right interrupt
flow. Looking at the code, I see you're using handle_simple_irq, which
is almost universally wrong.

As per the description above, these interrupts should be using the
fasteoi flow, which is designed for this exact behaviour (the
interrupt controller knows which interrupt is in flight and doesn't
require SW to do anything bar signalling the EOI).

Another thing is that mask/unmask tends to be a requirement, while
enable/disable tends to be optional. There is no hard line here, but
the expectations are that:

(a) A disabled line can drop interrupts
(b) A masked line cannot drop interrupts

Depending what the PLIC architecture mandates, you'll need to
implement one and/or the other. Having just (a) is indicative of a HW
bug, and I'm not assuming that this is the case. (b) only is pretty
common, and (a)+(b) has a few adepts. My bet is that it requires (b)
only.

Can you give the following patch a go? It brings the irq flow in line
with what the HW can do. It is of course fully untested (not even
compile tested...).

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] irqchip/sifive-plic: Switch to fasteoi flow

The SiFive PLIC interrupt controller seems to have all the HW
features to support the fasteoi flow, but the driver seems to be
stuck in a distant past. Bring it into the 21st century.
