4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Josh Cartwright <joshc@xxxxxx> commit 04da73803c05dc1150ccc31cbf93e8cd56679c09 upstream. The use of IRQF_ONESHOT when registering an interrupt handler with request_irq() is non-sensical. Not only that, it also prevents the handler from being threaded when it otherwise should be w/ IRQ_FORCED_THREADING is enabled. This causes the following deadlock observed by Sean Nyekjaer on -rt: Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM [..] rt_spin_lock_slowlock from queue_kthread_work queue_kthread_work from sc16is7xx_irq sc16is7xx_irq [sc16is7xx] from handle_irq_event_percpu handle_irq_event_percpu from handle_irq_event handle_irq_event from handle_level_irq handle_level_irq from generic_handle_irq generic_handle_irq from mxc_gpio_irq_handler mxc_gpio_irq_handler from mx3_gpio_irq_handler mx3_gpio_irq_handler from generic_handle_irq generic_handle_irq from __handle_domain_irq __handle_domain_irq from gic_handle_irq gic_handle_irq from __irq_svc __irq_svc from rt_spin_unlock rt_spin_unlock from kthread_worker_fn kthread_worker_fn from kthread kthread from ret_from_fork Fixes: 9e6f4ca3e567 ("sc16is7xx: use kthread_worker for tx_work and irq") Reported-by: Sean Nyekjaer <sean.nyekjaer@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Josh Cartwright <joshc@xxxxxx> Cc: linux-rt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Jakub Kicinski <moorray3@xxxxx> Cc: linux-serial@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Julia Cartwright <julia@xxxxxx> Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski <kubakici@xxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/tty/serial/sc16is7xx.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/drivers/tty/serial/sc16is7xx.c +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/sc16is7xx.c @@ -1240,7 +1240,7 @@ static int sc16is7xx_probe(struct device /* Setup interrupt */ ret = devm_request_irq(dev, irq, sc16is7xx_irq, - IRQF_ONESHOT | flags, dev_name(dev), s); + flags, dev_name(dev), s); if (!ret) return 0; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
