Subject: [PATCH] exit: Detect and fix irq disabled state in oops
Date:   Fri, 20 Jan 2023 11:18:20 +1000

If a task oopses with irqs disabled, this can cause various cascading
problems in the oops path such as sleep-from-invalid warnings, and
potentially worse.

Since commit 0258b5fd7c712 ("coredump: Limit coredumps to a single
thread group"), the unconditional irq enable in coredump_task_exit()
will "fix" the irq state to be enabled early in do_exit(), so currently
this may not be triggerable, but that is coincidental and fragile.

Detect and fix the irqs_disabled() condition in the oops path before
calling do_exit(), similarly to the way in_atomic() is handled.

Hi Peter,

Would you consider taking this through the sched tree?

Thanks,
Nick
