[Fix PATCH] cpu/hotplug: Fix bug report when add "nosmt" parameter with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=N

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

 



From: Lan Tianyu <Tianyu.Lan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When add "nosmt" parameter, kernel still boots up all logical cpus once
and set CR4.MCE on each CPU. This is to avoid shutting down machine
when a broadacasted MCE is observed CR4.MCE=0b. (Detail please see comment
in the cpu_smt_allowed()). Smt cpus will bring up and bring down during
kernel boot with "nosmt" parameter.

When CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=Y, CPU_DYING callbacks will be called inside
stop-machine and irq is disabled. This happens in the take_cpu_down()
callback. When CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=N,CPU_DYING callbacks will be called
with irq enabled.

smpcfd_dying_cpu() is one of CPU_DYING callbacks and it assumes to be
called when irq is disabled. smpcfd_dying_cpu() calls flush_smp_call_
function_queue() which requires to be called with irq disabled.

When CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=N and add "nosmt" parameter, smpcfd_dying_cpu()
is called with irq enalbed and this triggers BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled())
in the irq_work_run_list(). This patch is to fix the issue.

Fixes: 0cc3cd21657b ("cpu/hotplug: Boot HT siblings at least once")
