Subject: [PATCH V2] smp: Give WARN()ing when calling smp_call_function_many()/single() in serving irq
Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2013 22:10:12 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1361023812.11130.15.camel@cliu38-desktop-build> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1361023075.11130.12.camel@cliu38-desktop-build>

Currently the functions smp_call_function_many()/single() will
give a WARN()ing only in the case of irqs_disabled(), but that
check is not enough to guarantee execution of the SMP
cross-calls.

In many other cases such as softirq handling/interrupt handling,
the two APIs still can not be called, just as the
smp_call_function_many() comments say:

  * You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
  * hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler. Preemption
  * must be disabled when calling this function.

There is a real case for softirq DEADLOCK case:

CPUA                            CPUB
                                spin_lock(&spinlock)
                                Any irq coming, call the irq handler
                                irq_exit()
spin_lock_irq(&spinlock)
<== Blocking here due to
CPUB hold it
                                  __do_softirq()
                                    run_timer_softirq()
                                      timer_cb()
                                        call smp_call_function_many()
                                          send IPI interrupt to CPUA
                                            wait_csd()

Then both CPUA and CPUB will be deadlocked here.

So we should give a warning in the nmi, hardirq or softirq context as well.

Moreover, adding one new macro in_serving_irq() which indicates
we are processing nmi, hardirq or sofirq.
