[PATCH v3 0/2] kexec, panic: Making crash_kexec() NMI safe

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi folks,

Here's v3 where we now completely get rid of kexec_mutex.

o Patch 1 makes sure all kexec_mutex acquisitions are trylocks. This prevents
  having to add any while(atomic_cmpxchg()) loops which I'd really hate to see
  here. If that can't be done then I think we're better off with the combined
  mutex+atomic var approach.
o Patch 2 does the mutex -> atomic var switch.

Revisions
=========

v2 -> v3
++++++++

o Dropped kexec_mutex entirely and made the atomic variable the one true lock
  for kexec (Eric)

v1 -> v2
++++++++

o Changed from Peterson-like synchronization to simpler atomic_cmpxchg
  (Petr)
o Slightly reworded changelog
o Added Fixes: tag. Technically should be up to since kexec can happen
  in an NMI, but that isn't such a clear target

Cheers,
Valentin
