Commit 1a6b69b6548c (ARM: gic: add CPU migration support, 2012-04-12) introduced an acquisition of the irq_controller_lock in gic_raise_softirq() which can lead to a spinlock recursion if the gic_arch_extn hooks call into the scheduler (via complete() or wake_up(), etc.). This happens because gic_arch_extn hooks are normally called with the irq_controller_lock held and calling into the scheduler may cause us to call smp_send_reschedule() which will grab the irq_controller_lock again. Here's an example from a vendor kernel (note that the gic_arch_extn hook code here isn't actually in mainline): BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, swapper/0/1 lock: irq_controller_lock+0x0/0x18, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: sw er_cpu: 0 CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.14.10-00430-g3d433c4e Call trace: [<ffffffc000087e1c>] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x140 [<ffffffc000087f6c>] show_stack+0x10/0x1c [<ffffffc00064732c>] dump_stack+0x74/0xc4 [<ffffffc0006446c0>] spin_dump+0x78/0x88 [<ffffffc0006446f4>] spin_bug+0x24/0x34 [<ffffffc0000d47d0>] do_raw_spin_lock+0x58/0x148 [<ffffffc00064d398>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x24/0x38 [<ffffffc0002c9d7c>] gic_raise_softirq+0x2c/0xbc [<ffffffc00008daa4>] smp_send_reschedule+0x34/0x40 [<ffffffc0000c1e94>] try_to_wake_up+0x224/0x288 [<ffffffc0000c1f4c>] default_wake_function+0xc/0x18 [<ffffffc0000ceef0>] __wake_up_common+0x50/0x8c [<ffffffc0000cef3c>] __wake_up_locked+0x10/0x1c [<ffffffc0000cf734>] complete+0x3c/0x5c [<ffffffc0002f0e78>] msm_mpm_enable_irq_exclusive+0x1b8/0x1c8 [<ffffffc0002f0f58>] __msm_mpm_enable_irq+0x4c/0x7c [<ffffffc0002f0f94>] msm_mpm_enable_irq+0xc/0x18 [<ffffffc0002c9bb0>] gic_unmask_irq+0x40/0x7c [<ffffffc0000de5f4>] irq_enable+0x2c/0x48 [<ffffffc0000de65c>] irq_startup+0x4c/0x74 [<ffffffc0000dd2fc>] __setup_irq+0x264/0x3f0 [<ffffffc0000dd5e0>] request_threaded_irq+0xcc/0x11c [<ffffffc0000df254>] devm_request_threaded_irq+0x68/0xb4 [<ffffffc000471520>] msm_iommu_ctx_probe+0x124/0x2d4 [<ffffffc000337374>] platform_drv_probe+0x20/0x54 [<ffffffc00033598c>] driver_probe_device+0x158/0x340 [<ffffffc000335c20>] __driver_attach+0x60/0x90 [<ffffffc000333c9c>] bus_for_each_dev+0x6c/0x8c [<ffffffc000335304>] driver_attach+0x1c/0x28 [<ffffffc000334f14>] bus_add_driver+0x120/0x204 [<ffffffc0003362e4>] driver_register+0xbc/0x10c [<ffffffc000337348>] __platform_driver_register+0x5c/0x68 [<ffffffc00094c478>] msm_iommu_driver_init+0x54/0x7c [<ffffffc0000813ec>] do_one_initcall+0xa4/0x130 [<ffffffc00091d928>] kernel_init_freeable+0x138/0x1dc [<ffffffc000642578>] kernel_init+0xc/0xd4 We really just want to synchronize the sending of an SGI with the update of the gic_cpu_map[], so introduce a new SGI lock that we can use to synchronize the two code paths. Three main events are happening that we have to consider: 1. We're updating the gic_cpu_mask to point to an incoming CPU 2. We're (potentially) sending an SGI to the outgoing CPU 3. We're redirecting any pending SGIs for the outgoing CPU to the incoming CPU. Events 1 and 3 are already ordered within the same CPU by means of program order and use of I/O accessors. Events 1 and 2 don't need to be ordered, but events 2 and 3 do because any SGIs for the outgoing CPU need to be pending before we can redirect them. Synchronize by acquiring a new lock around event 2 and before event 3. Use smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() before event 3 to ensure that event 1 is seen before event 3 on other CPUs that may be executing event 2.
