So is the assumption here that you can handle the interrupt and flip
the edge, faster than it takes the signal to change?

If the software is too slow, you loose the following edge? And you
might loose the edge after that as well, since the software will at
some point handle the interrupt and reconfigure the edge, potentially
for the wrong edge?

Or am i missing something which makes this race free?
