4.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Alistair Popple <alistair@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 036592fbbe753d236402a0ae68148e7c143a0f0e upstream.
Commit 25642e1459ac ("powerpc/opal-irqchip: Fix double endian
conversion") fixed an endian bug by calling opal_handle_events() in
opal_event_unmask().
However this introduced a deadlock if we find an event is active
during unmasking and call opal_handle_events() again. The bad call
sequence is:
opal_interrupt()
-> opal_handle_events()
-> generic_handle_irq()
-> handle_level_irq()
-> raw_spin_lock(&desc->lock)
handle_irq_event(desc)
unmask_irq(desc)
-> opal_event_unmask()
-> opal_handle_events()
-> generic_handle_irq()
-> handle_level_irq()
-> raw_spin_lock(&desc->lock) (BOOM)
When generating multiple opal events in quick succession this would lead
to the following stall warnings:
EEH: Fenced PHB#0 detected, location: U78C9.001.WZS09XA-P1-C32
INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

(detected by 20, t=8407 jiffies, g=1325, c=1324, q=1290)
This patch corrects the problem by queuing the work if an event is
active during unmasking, which is similar to the pre-endian fix
behaviour.
