x86, mtrr: lock stop machine during MTRR rendezvous sequence
MTRR rendezvous sequence using stop_one_cpu_nowait() can potentially happen in parallel with another system wide rendezvous using stop_machine(). This can lead to deadlock (The order in which works are queued can be different on different cpu's. Some cpu's will be running the first rendezvous handler and others will be running the second rendezvous handler. Each set waiting for the other set to join for the system wide rendezvous, leading to a deadlock). MTRR rendezvous sequence is not implemented using stop_machine() as this gets called both from the process context aswell as the cpu online paths (where the cpu has not come online and the interrupts are disabled etc). stop_machine() works with only online cpus. For now, take the stop_machine mutex in the MTRR rendezvous sequence that gets called from an online cpu (here we are in the process context and can potentially sleep while taking the mutex). And the MTRR rendezvous that gets triggered during cpu online doesn't need to take this stop_machine lock (as the stop_machine() already ensures that there is no cpu hotplug going on in parallel by doing get_online_cpus()) TBD: Pursue a cleaner solution of extending the stop_machine() infrastructure to handle the case where the calling cpu is still not online and use this for MTRR rendezvous sequence. fixes: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=672008 Reported-by: Vadim Kotelnikov <vadimuzzz@inbox.ru> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110623182056.807230326@sbsiddha-MOBL3.sc.intel.com Cc: stable@kernel.org # 2.6.35+, backport a week or two after this gets more testing in mainline Signed-off-by: H.
