This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled video: hyperv_fb: Avoid taking busy spinlock on panic path to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: video-hyperv_fb-avoid-taking-busy-spinlock-on-panic-.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 47fb477dc91442936c54b416ab3cf7035dc44435 Author: Guilherme G. Piccoli <gpiccoli@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 19 19:17:29 2022 -0300 video: hyperv_fb: Avoid taking busy spinlock on panic path [ Upstream commit 1d044ca035dc22df0d3b39e56f2881071d9118bd ] The Hyper-V framebuffer code registers a panic notifier in order to try updating its fbdev if the kernel crashed. The notifier callback is straightforward, but it calls the vmbus_sendpacket() routine eventually, and such function takes a spinlock for the ring buffer operations. Panic path runs in atomic context, with local interrupts and preemption disabled, and all secondary CPUs shutdown. That said, taking a spinlock might cause a lockup if a secondary CPU was disabled with such lock taken. Fix it here by checking if the ring buffer spinlock is busy on Hyper-V framebuffer panic notifier; if so, bail-out avoiding the potential lockup scenario.
