[PATCH] Fix misrouted interrupts deadlocks
While testing kernel on machine with "irqpoll" option I've caught such a
lockup:
__do_IRQ()
spin_lock(&desc->lock);
desc->chip->ack(); /* IRQ is ACKed */
note_interrupt()
misrouted_irq()
handle_IRQ_event()
if (...)
local_irq_enable_in_hardirq();
/* interrupts are enabled from now */
...
__do_IRQ() /* same IRQ we've started from */
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* LOCKUP */
Looking at misrouted_irq() code I've found that a potential deadlock like
this can also take place:
1CPU:
__do_IRQ()
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
misrouted_irq()
for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */
if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) {
2CPU:
__do_IRQ()
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */
misrouted_irq()
for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) {
As the second lock on both CPUs is taken before checking that this...
