> Plus, we already in context where interrupts are stopped. Indeed they can be called from .ndo_start_xmit callback and the document said it is with bh disabled. But I found some call chain from the user process that seems could be called from irq disabled context. For sdma_send_txlist(), there is a call chain. -> hfi1_write_iter() (.write_iter callback) -> hfi1_user_sdma_process_request() -> user_sdma_send_pkts() -> sdma_send_txlist() The .write_iter seems not to disable irq by default, as mentioned by https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt And I didn't find any explicit disabling or bh or irq along the call path, and also see several copy_from_usr() which cannot be invoked under irq context. For sdma_send_txreq(), there is a call chain. -> qp_priv_alloc() -> iowait_init() (register _hfi1_do_tid_send() as a work queue) -> _hfi1_do_tid_send() (workqueue) -> hfi1_do_tid_send() -> hfi1_verbs_send() -> sr(qp, ps, 0) (sr could points to hfi1_verbs_send_dm()) -> hfi1_verbs_send_dma() -> sdma_send_txreq() _hfi1_do_tid_send() is a work queue without irq disabled by default, I also check the remaining call path and also found that there is no explicit irq disable, instead the call site of hfi1_verbs_send() is exactly after spin_lock_irq_restore(), seems like a hint that it is probably called withirq enable. Another hint is that the lock acquisition of spin_lock_irqsave(&sde->tail_lock, flags); just before my patch in the same function also disable irq, seems like another hint that this function could be called with interrupt disable, otherwise the lock/unlock for sde->tail_lock does not need to disable irq? Would be appreciated if you could further check with this. > It can't work as exactly after "ret = -ECOMM;" line, there is "goto unlock" > and there hfi1 calls to spin_unlock_irqrestore(..) with same "flags". Yeah, that's my negligence, and sorry for this. Once you confirm that there should be some fixes, I would like to provide with v2 patch with the correct fix.
