3.8.13.14 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx> commit 522e66464467543c0d88d023336eec4df03ad40b upstream. In reboot and crash path, when we shut down the local APIC, the I/O APIC is still active. This may cause issues because external interrupts can still come in and disturb the local APIC during shutdown process. To quiet external interrupts, disable I/O APIC before shutdown local APIC.

It's a fine change nevertheless. ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/x86/kernel/crash.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c | 8 ++++---- 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/crash.c b/arch/x86/kernel/crash.c index e0e0841..18677a9 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/crash.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/crash.c @@ -127,12 +127,12 @@ void native_machine_crash_shutdown(struct pt_regs *regs) cpu_emergency_vmxoff(); cpu_emergency_svm_disable(); - lapic_shutdown(); #ifdef CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC /* Prevent crash_kexec() from deadlocking on ioapic_lock. */ ioapic_zap_locks(); disable_IO_APIC(); #endif + lapic_shutdown(); #ifdef CONFIG_HPET_TIMER hpet_disable(); #endif diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c b/arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c index 90fd119..44135ec 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c @@ -629,6 +629,10 @@ static void native_machine_emergency_restart(void) void native_machine_shutdown(void) { /* Stop the cpus and apics */ +#ifdef CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC + disable_IO_APIC(); +#endif + #ifdef CONFIG_SMP /* The boot cpu is always logical cpu 0 */ @@ -657,10 +661,6 @@ void native_machine_shutdown(void) lapic_shutdown(); -#ifdef CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC - disable_IO_APIC(); -#endif - #ifdef CONFIG_HPET_TIMER hpet_disable(); #endif -- 1.8.3.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
