This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ARM: 9317/1: kexec: Make smp stop calls asynchronous to the 6.1-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: arm-9317-1-kexec-make-smp-stop-calls-asynchronous.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4090d1bf30dece5c330c4897d2e61dd824378693 Author: Mårten Lindahl <marten.lindahl@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Aug 8 09:37:32 2023 +0100 ARM: 9317/1: kexec: Make smp stop calls asynchronous [ Upstream commit 8922ba71c969d2a0c01a94372a71477d879470de ] If a panic is triggered by a hrtimer interrupt all online cpus will be notified and set offline. But as highlighted by commit 19dbdcb8039c ("smp: Warn on function calls from softirq context") this call should not be made synchronous with disabled interrupts: softdog: Initiating panic Kernel panic - not syncing: Software Watchdog Timer expired WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/smp.c:753 smp_call_function_many_cond unwind_backtrace: show_stack dump_stack_lvl __warn warn_slowpath_fmt smp_call_function_many_cond smp_call_function crash_smp_send_stop.part.0 machine_crash_shutdown __crash_kexec panic softdog_fire __hrtimer_run_queues hrtimer_interrupt Make the smp call for machine_crash_nonpanic_core() asynchronous.
