We can go with this. I will incorporate this while posting v3. (Will await a few day for additional comments before posting v3) Jithu For context, the functions under discussion incorporating Dave's changes would look as below: static int do_array_test(void *data) { struct ifs_array *command = data; int cpu = smp_processor_id(); int first; /* * Only one logical CPU on a core needs to trigger the Array test via MSR write. */ first = cpumask_first(cpu_smt_mask(cpu)); if (cpu == first) { wrmsrl(MSR_ARRAY_BIST, *((u64 *)command)); /* Pass back the result of the test */ rdmsrl(MSR_ARRAY_BIST, *((u64 *)command)); } /* Tests complete faster if the sibling is spinning here */ wait_for_sibling_cpu(&array_cpus_out, NSEC_PER_SEC); return 0; } static void ifs_array_test_core(int cpu, struct device *dev) { struct ifs_array command = {}; bool timed_out = false; struct ifs_data *ifsd; unsigned long timeout; ifsd = ifs_get_data(dev); command.array_bitmask = ~0U; timeout = jiffies + HZ / 2; do { struct ifs_array before = command; if (time_after(jiffies, timeout)) { timed_out = true; break; } atomic_set(&array_cpus_out, 0); stop_core_cpuslocked(cpu, do_array_test, &command); trace_ifs_array(cpu, *((u64 *)&before), *((u64 *)&command)); if (command.ctrl_result) break; } while (command.array_bitmask); ifsd->scan_details = *((u64 *)&command); if (command.ctrl_result) ifsd->status = SCAN_TEST_FAIL; else if (timed_out || command.array_bitmask) ifsd->status = SCAN_NOT_TESTED; else ifsd->status = SCAN_TEST_PASS; }
