This resolves deadlocks of ftrace which will queue work from arbitrary contexts, including those that have locks held that are needed for raising a soft-irq. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka --- Second try, looks much better so far. And it also removes my concerns regarding other potential cases besides ftrace. kernel/irq_work.c | 26 ++++++++++---------------- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/irq_work.c b/kernel/irq_work.c index 9dda38a..3f6ffcd 100644 --- a/kernel/irq_work.c +++ b/kernel/irq_work.c @@ -85,12 +85,9 @@ bool irq_work_queue_on(struct irq_work *work, int cpu) raise_irqwork = llist_add(&work->llnode, &per_cpu(hirq_work_list, cpu)); else - raise_irqwork = llist_add(&work->llnode, - &per_cpu(lazy_list, cpu)); -#else +#endif raise_irqwork = llist_add(&work->llnode, &per_cpu(raised_list, cpu)); -#endif if (raise_irqwork) arch_send_call_function_single_ipi(cpu); @@ -114,21 +111,20 @@ bool irq_work_queue(struct irq_work *work) if (work->flags & IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ) { if (llist_add(&work->llnode, this_cpu_ptr(&hirq_work_list))) arch_irq_work_raise(); - } else { + } else +#endif + if (work->flags & IRQ_WORK_LAZY) { if (llist_add(&work->llnode, this_cpu_ptr(&lazy_list)) && tick_nohz_tick_stopped()) +#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL raise_softirq(TIMER_SOFTIRQ); - } #else - if (work->flags & IRQ_WORK_LAZY) { - if (llist_add(&work->llnode, this_cpu_ptr(&lazy_list)) && - tick_nohz_tick_stopped()) arch_irq_work_raise(); +#endif } else { if (llist_add(&work->llnode, this_cpu_ptr(&raised_list))) arch_irq_work_raise(); } -#endif preempt_enable(); @@ -202,6 +198,8 @@ void irq_work_run(void) { #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL irq_work_run_list(this_cpu_ptr(&hirq_work_list)); + if (!llist_empty(this_cpu_ptr(&raised_list))) + raise_softirq(TIMER_SOFTIRQ); #else irq_work_run_list(this_cpu_ptr(&raised_list)); irq_work_run_list(this_cpu_ptr(&lazy_list)); @@ -211,15 +209,11 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(irq_work_run); void irq_work_tick(void) { -#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL - irq_work_run_list(this_cpu_ptr(&lazy_list)); -#else - struct llist_head *raised = &__get_cpu_var(raised_list); + struct llist_head *raised = this_cpu_ptr(&raised_list); if (!llist_empty(raised) && !arch_irq_work_has_interrupt()) irq_work_run_list(raised); - irq_work_run_list(&__get_cpu_var(lazy_list)); -#endif + irq_work_run_list(this_cpu_ptr(&lazy_list)); } /* -- 2.1.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
