[PATCH] arm64: smp: fix smp_send_stop() behaviour

[PATCH] arm64: smp: fix smp_send_stop() behaviour

[Cristian Marussi]

On a 2-CPUs system, when one CPU is already online if the other
panics while starting-up, smp_send_stop() will fail to send any
STOP message to the other already online core, resulting in a
system still responsive and alive at the end of the panic procedure.
This patch makes smp_send_stop() account also for the online status
of the calling CPU while evaluating how many CPUs are effectively
online: this way, an adequate number of STOPs is sent, so enforcing
a proper freeze of the system at the end of panic even under the
above conditions.

This peculiar panic-procedure behaviour was exposed hitting a BUG()
while running a KSFT cpu-hotplug test on a 2-core ARMv8 model.
Such trigger-BUG() was fixed by a distinct commit already included
in Linux 5.2-rc4 [0]

Whilst this looks ok to me, I'm worried about whether or not we have this
sort of logic elsewhere. For example, do we need to fix
crash_smp_send_stop() (and possibly machine_kexec()) too?

We should do the same in crash_smp_send_stop(), its possible a newly-online core triggers
kdump by calling panic() in the same way.

machine_kexec() is called on the last surviving cpu after migrate_to_reboot_cpu() has run.
At first glance it looks like this could never happen there, but kexec re-enables
cpu-hotplug (commit 011e4b02f1da), and we can reschedule before we start moving memory
around, so I'm not convinced its immune...



Thanks,

James

I'll look into machine_kexec() behavior in these regards.

I think we certainly have such logic in crash_smp_send_stop() too at least,
maybe it is just less easily exposed given the different use case of the function.

This wanted to be just a fix only against the observed troubled panic, but I
could extend it to cover similar issues spotted by code analysis, if deemed worth.

Yes, please. Makes sense to fix these all at once.

What about other architectures?  This, or very similar code, is present
on other architectures too.

Thanks for the review,

indeed glancing quickly at other arch's, there is a lot of common things and
subtle differences in handling these situations...potentially some common logic
to fix once for all and abstract out of arch specific code...(or at least try to
do it)....so now a question arises to me: is it still worth to properly fix on
arm64 at first extending this patch (easier and quicker maybe) or should I opt
directly for the abstraction party ?

Thanks

Cristian

Re: [PATCH] arm64: smp: fix smp_send_stop() behaviour

Hi Itaru

thanks for the review.

If you mean udelay(1) it is just that I avoided modifying anything which was not
strictly related to the fix addressed by this patch.

Thanks

Cristian
