[Problem]
There is a scenario which efi_pstore fails to log messages in a panic case.
- CPUA holds an efi_var->lock in either efivarfs parts
or efi_pstore with interrupt enabled.
- CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop().
- CPUA stops with holding the lock.
- CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC)
but it returns without logging messages.
[Patch Description]
This patch disables an external interruption while holding efivars->lock
as follows.
In efi_pstore_write() and get_var_data(), spin_lock/spin_unlock is
replaced by spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore because they may
be called in an interrupt context.
In other functions, they are replaced by spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq.
because they are all called from a process context.
By applying this patch, we can avoid the problem above with
a following senario.
- CPUA holds an efi_var->lock with interrupt disabled.
- CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop().
- CPUA receives the IPI after releasing the lock because it is
disabling interrupt while holding the lock.
- CPUB waits for one sec until CPUA releases the lock.
- CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC)
And it can hold the lock successfully.
