Subject: [PATCH] arm64: neon: Fix function may_use_simd() return error status
Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2018 11:29:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1531366178-17630-1-git-send-email-yandong77520@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Yandong Zhao <yandong77520@gmail.com>

It does not matter if the caller of may_use_simd() migrates to
another cpu after the call, but it is still important that the
kernel_neon_busy percpu instance that is read matches the cpu the
task is running on at the time of the read.

This means that raw_cpu_read() is not sufficient. kernel_neon_busy
may appear true if the caller migrates during the execution of
raw_cpu_read() and the next task to be scheduled in on the initial
cpu calls kernel_neon_begin().

This patch replaces raw_cpu_read() with this_cpu_read() to protect
against this race.

Fixes: cb84d11e1625 ("arm64: neon: Remove support for nested or hardirq kernel-mode NEON")
