[RFC PATCH v3 03/12] smp: coordinate concurrent crash/smp stop calls

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Once a stop request is in progress on one CPU, it must be carefully
evaluated what to do if another stop request is issued concurrently
on another CPU.

Given that panic and crash dump code flows are mutually exclusive,
the only alternative possible scenario which instead could lead to
concurrent stop requests, is represented by the simultaneous stop
requests possibly triggered by a concurrent halt/reboot/shutdown.

In such a case, prioritize the panic/crash procedure and most importantly
immediately park the offending CPU that was attempting the concurrent stop
request: force it to idle quietly, waiting for the ongoing stop/dump
requests to arrive.

Failing to do so would result in the offending CPU being effectively lost
on the next possible reboot triggered by the crash dump. [1]

Another scenario, where the crash/stop code path was known to be executed
twice, was during a normal panic/crash with crash_kexec_post_notifiers=1;
since this issue is similar, fold also this case-handling into this new
logic.
