RE: [PATCH 1/6] ACPI/EC: Introduce STARTED/STOPPED flags to replace BLOCKED flag.

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

 



Hi, Rafael

There is one thing I should let you know.

Originally this patchset is dependent on the GPE "dead lock" fix.
Because this patch will invoke acpi_enable_gpe()/acpi_disable_gpe() with EC lock held.

I saw system hang during suspending using only this patchset, so we have to find a solution.

This paragraph is talking about the dependency.

This can work without "GPE dead lock" fix applied because:
1. During boot, this API is called when the EC GPE is disabled.
2. During resume, this API is called when the EC GPE is disabled (because EC GPE is always not wake capable).

But this cannot work without "GPE dead lock" fix applied because:

In acpi_pm_freeze(), the call graph would be:
	acpi_pm_freeze()
		acpi_disable_all_gpes()
		acpi_os_wait_events_complete()
		acpi_ec_block_transactions()
			acpi_ec_stop()
				hold EC lock
				acpi_disable_gpe()
				hold GPE lock

And in the GPE handler acpi_irq(), the call graph would be:
	acpi_irq()
		acpi_ev_sci_xrupt_handler()
			acpi_ev_gpe_detect()
				hold GPE lock
					acpi_ev_gpe_dispatch()
						acpi_ec_gpe_handler()
							hold EC lock

Since acpi_os_wait_events_complete() cannot flush GPE but can only flush _Lxx/_Exx evaluation work queue currently.
The reversed ordered dead lock can happen.
We need to fix the acpi_os_wait_events_complete() prior than this series.
I have a fix to invoke synchronize_irq() in acpi_os_wait_events_complete().
Let me send it to you.
This cleanup should be applied after that fix.

Thanks and best regards
