From: Aniruddha Banerjee <aniruddhab@xxxxxxxxxx> The kernel documentation states that the locking of the irq-chip registers should be handled by the irq-chip driver. In the irq-gic, the accesses to the irqchip are seemingly not protected and multiple writes to SPIs from different irq descriptors do RMW requests without taking the irq-chip lock. When multiple irqs call the request_irq at the same time, there can be a simultaneous write at the gic distributor, leading to a race. Acquire the gic_lock when the irq_type is updated. Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Aniruddha Banerjee <aniruddhab@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Change from V1: * Moved the spinlock from irq-gic to irq-gic common, so that the fix is valid for GIC v1/v2/v3. Change from V2: * Fixup the Signed-off-by line. Change from V3: * Change raw_spin_lock to raw_spin_lock_irqsave and spin_unlock to raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore to protect against a potential deadlock when an interrupt handler changes the trigger type of any interrupt. drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-common.c | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-common.c b/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-common.c index 9ae71804b5dd..1c2ca8d51a70 100644 --- a/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-common.c +++ b/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-common.c @@ -21,6 +21,8 @@ #include "irq-gic-common.h" +static DEFINE_RAW_SPINLOCK(irq_controller_lock); + static const struct gic_kvm_info *gic_kvm_info; const struct gic_kvm_info *gic_get_kvm_info(void) @@ -52,11 +54,13 @@ int gic_configure_irq(unsigned int irq, unsigned int type, u32 confoff = (irq / 16) * 4; u32 val, oldval; int ret = 0; + unsigned long flags; /* * Read current configuration register, and insert the config * for "irq", depending on "type". */ + raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&irq_controller_lock, flags); val = oldval = readl_relaxed(base + GIC_DIST_CONFIG + confoff); if (type & IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_MASK) val &= ~confmask; @@ -64,8 +68,10 @@ int gic_configure_irq(unsigned int irq, unsigned int type, val |= confmask; /* If the current configuration is the same, then we are done */ - if (val == oldval) + if (val == oldval) { + raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&irq_controller_lock, flags); return 0; + } /* * Write back the new configuration, and possibly re-enable @@ -83,6 +89,7 @@ int gic_configure_irq(unsigned int irq, unsigned int type, pr_warn("GIC: PPI%d is secure or misconfigured\n", irq - 16); } + raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&irq_controller_lock, flags); if (sync_access) sync_access(); -- 2.16.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
