I start a binary which should flash the FPGA and re-enumare the PCI-BUS and find a new device. It works most of the time. With SLUB debug it crashes on each iteration with something like this (compressed output): | pcieport 0000:00:00.0: AER: Multiple Corrected error received: id=0000 | Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x27ef9e3e | Faulting instruction address: 0x602f5328 | Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] | Workqueue: events aer_isr | GPR24: dd6aa000 6b6b6b6b 605f8378 605f8360 d99b12c0 604fc674 606b1704 d99b12c0 | NIP [602f5328] pci_walk_bus+0xd4/0x104 Register 25 has the user-after magic. As it turns out, the old PCIe device is leaving, generates an error before it left, aer_irq() is fired, it schedules a work item. What happens now is that free_irq() is invoked, all resources are gone *before* the aes_isr() work item is completed. So to fix this, I flush the workqueue to ensure that there is no more work pending. The wait_event() on wait_release should actually synchronized against removal. However the condition (->prod_idx == ->cons_idx) is made true before the function completes (aer_isr_one_error() is invoked right after that) so it does not fulfill its purpose. Therefore I remove it. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- v1…v2: - remove wait_release since it is broken on SMP - don't flush the workqueue only if we have ->isr set because the workqueue could be scheduled via the inject module. *compile* tested only because I don't have the HW at the moment. Bjorn, this could deserve a stable tag. However it seems to have been like that even in v2.6.20. drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.c | 4 +--- drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.h | 1 - drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_core.c | 2 -- 3 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.c b/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.c index 0bf82a20a0fb..48d21e0edd56 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.c +++ b/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.c @@ -262,7 +262,6 @@ static struct aer_rpc *aer_alloc_rpc(struct pcie_device *dev) rpc->rpd = dev; INIT_WORK(&rpc->dpc_handler, aer_isr); mutex_init(&rpc->rpc_mutex); - init_waitqueue_head(&rpc->wait_release); /* Use PCIe bus function to store rpc into PCIe device */ set_service_data(dev, rpc); @@ -285,8 +284,7 @@ static void aer_remove(struct pcie_device *dev) if (rpc->isr) free_irq(dev->irq, dev); - wait_event(rpc->wait_release, rpc->prod_idx == rpc->cons_idx); - + flush_work(&rpc->dpc_handler); aer_disable_rootport(rpc); kfree(rpc); set_service_data(dev, NULL); diff --git a/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.h b/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.h index 84420b7c9456..945c939a86c5 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.h +++ b/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.h @@ -72,7 +72,6 @@ struct aer_rpc { * recovery on the same * root port hierarchy */ - wait_queue_head_t wait_release; }; struct aer_broadcast_data { diff --git a/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_core.c b/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_core.c index fba785e9df75..4e14de0f0f98 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_core.c +++ b/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_core.c @@ -811,8 +811,6 @@ void aer_isr(struct work_struct *work) while (get_e_source(rpc, &e_src)) aer_isr_one_error(p_device, &e_src); mutex_unlock(&rpc->rpc_mutex); - - wake_up(&rpc->wait_release); } /** -- 2.7.0.rc3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
