We found a concurrency issue in NVMe Init when we initialize multiple NVMe connected over PCIe switch. Setup details: - SMP system with 8 ARMv8 cores running Linux kernel(4.11). - Two NVMe cards are connected to PCIe RC through bridge as shown in the below figure. [RC] | [BRIDGE] | ----------- | | [NVMe] [NVMe] Issue description: After PCIe enumeration completed NVMe driver probe function called for both the devices from two CPUS simultaneously. >From nvme_probe, pci_enable_device_mem called for both the EPs. This function called pci_enable_bridge enable recursively until RC. Inside pci_enable_bridge function, at two places concurrency issue is observed. Place 1: CPU 0: 1. Done Atomic increment dev->enable_cnt in pci_enable_device_flags 2. Inside pci_enable_resources 3. Completed pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &cmd) 4. Ready to set PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY (0x2) in pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, cmd) CPU 1: 1. Check pci_is_enabled in function pci_enable_bridge and it is true 2. Check (!dev->is_busmaster) also true 3. Gone into pci_set_master 4. Completed pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &old_cmd) 5. Ready to set PCI_COMMAND_MASTER (0x4) in pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, cmd) By the time of last point for both the CPUs are read value 0 and ready to write 2 and 4. After last point final value in PCI_COMMAND register is 4 instead of 6. Place 2: CPU 0: 1. Done Atomic increment dev->enable_cnt in pci_enable_device_flags Signed-off-by: Srinath Mannam <srinath.mannam@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes since v1: - Used mutex to syncronize pci_enable_bridge drivers/pci/pci.c | 4 ++++ drivers/pci/probe.c | 1 + include/linux/pci.h | 1 + 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/pci/pci.c b/drivers/pci/pci.c index b01bd5b..5bff3e7 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/pci.c +++ b/drivers/pci/pci.c @@ -1347,7 +1347,9 @@ static void pci_enable_bridge(struct pci_dev *dev) { struct pci_dev *bridge; int retval; + struct mutex *lock = &dev->bridge_lock; + mutex_lock(lock); bridge = pci_upstream_bridge(dev); if (bridge) pci_enable_bridge(bridge); @@ -1355,6 +1357,7 @@ static void pci_enable_bridge(struct pci_dev *dev) if (pci_is_enabled(dev)) { if (!dev->is_busmaster) pci_set_master(dev); + mutex_unlock(lock); return; } @@ -1363,6 +1366,7 @@ static void pci_enable_bridge(struct pci_dev *dev) dev_err(&dev->dev, "Error enabling bridge (%d), continuing\n", retval); pci_set_master(dev); + mutex_unlock(lock); } static int pci_enable_device_flags(struct pci_dev *dev, unsigned long flags) diff --git a/drivers/pci/probe.c b/drivers/pci/probe.c index 19c8950..1c25d1c 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/probe.c +++ b/drivers/pci/probe.c @@ -880,6 +880,7 @@ static struct pci_bus *pci_alloc_child_bus(struct pci_bus *parent, child->dev.parent = child->bridge; pci_set_bus_of_node(child); pci_set_bus_speed(child); + mutex_init(&bridge->bridge_lock); /* Set up default resource pointers and names.. */ for (i = 0; i < PCI_BRIDGE_RESOURCE_NUM; i++) { diff --git a/include/linux/pci.h b/include/linux/pci.h index 33c2b0b..7e88f41 100644 --- a/include/linux/pci.h +++ b/include/linux/pci.h @@ -266,6 +266,7 @@ struct pci_dev { void *sysdata; /* hook for sys-specific extension */ struct proc_dir_entry *procent; /* device entry in /proc/bus/pci */ struct pci_slot *slot; /* Physical slot this device is in */ + struct mutex bridge_lock; unsigned int devfn; /* encoded device & function index */ unsigned short vendor; -- 2.7.4
