Subject: [PATCH v5 2/8] optee: Refuse to load the driver under the kdump kernel
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2021 17:33:11 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210614223317.999867-3-tyhicks@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210614223317.999867-1-tyhicks@linux.microsoft.com>

Fix a hung task issue, seen when booting the kdump kernel, that is
caused by all of the secure world threads being in a permanent suspended
state:

 INFO: task swapper/0:1 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
       Not tainted 5.4.83 #1
 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

The invoke_fn hook returned OPTEE_SMC_RETURN_ETHREAD_LIMIT, indicating
that the secure world threads were all in a suspended state at the time
of the kernel crash. This intermittently prevented the kdump kernel from
booting, resulting in a failure to collect the kernel dump.

Make kernel dump collection more reliable on systems utilizing OP-TEE by
refusing to load the driver under the kdump kernel.
