From: "zhang.chun" <zhang.chuna@xxxxxxx>

I work with zhangzhansheng(from h3c) find that some situation may casue deadlock when we use kmap_high and kmap_XXX or kumap_xxx between  differt cores at the same time,  kmap_high->map_new_virtual-> flush_all_zero_pkmaps->flush_tlb_kernel_range->on_each_cpu. On this condition, kmap_high hold the kmap_lock,wait the other cores respond to ipi. But the others may disable irq and wait kmap_lock, this is some deadlock condition. I think it's necessary to give kmap_lock before call flush_tlb_kernel_range.
Like this:
spin_unlock(&kmap_lock);
flush_tlb_kernel_range(xxx);
spin_lock(&kmap_lock);

CPU 0:                cpu 1:
                        kmap_xxx() {
xxx                     irq_disable();
kmap_high();            spin_lock(&kmap_lock)
xxx                     yyyyyyy
                        spin_unlock(&kmap_lock)
                        irq_enable();
                        }
kmap_high detail:
kmap_high() {
        zzz
        spin_lock(&kmap_lock)
        map_new_virtual->
                flush_all_zero_pkmaps->
                        flush_tlb_kernel_range->
                                on_each_cpu
        /*
        if cpu 1 irq_disabled, the cpu 1
        cannot ack, then cpu 0 and cpu 1 may hangup.
        */
        spin_unlock(&kmap_lock)
        zzz
}
