I would rather argue that 8524fa22fd2f is possibily wrong, and case 1)
would imply the interrupt has been delayed for the whole frame
duration (+ blanking), which seems unlikely to me ?
True we handle stats collection and parameters programming in irq
context, which is less than ideal and could take time (I wonder if we
should use a threaded irq, but that's a different problem)
If that's the case and we only should care about 2) would simply
handling RKISP1_CIF_ISP_FRAME before RKISP1_CIF_ISP_V_START be enough ?

I think you can drop the && !rkisp1->isp.frame_active because if you
get here and 'status & RKISP1_CIF_ISP_V_START' it means that:
1) frame_active was false and you have entered the above
if (status & RKISP1_CIF_ISP_V_START && !rkisp1->isp.frame_active) {
and now the RKISP1_CIF_ISP_V_START bit in 'status' has been cleared
so you don't need to handle VSYNC here
2) frame_active was true and you delayed handling V_START till here.
If also ISP_FRAME was set, frame_start has been set to false here
above. If ISP_FRAME was not set then it has been delivered by a
previous interrupt and then frame_start is false.
So I guess it's enough to check if at this point RKISP1_CIF_ISP_V_START
is still set in 'status' ?
However, as said, it's seems unlikely to that your above 1) can
happen. Have you ever hit a WARN() again with this patch applied ?
