Subject: [V6 PATCH 1/6] panic/x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic on NMI
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2015 10:46:26 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151210014626.25437.13302.stgit@softrs> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20151210014624.25437.50028.stgit@softrs>
If panic on NMI happens just after panic() on the same CPU, panic()
is recursively called. As the result, it stalls after failing to
acquire panic_lock.
To avoid this problem, don't call panic() in NMI context if
we've already entered panic().
V6:
- Add a comment about panic_cpu
- Replace the magic number -1 for panic_cpu with a macro
V4:
- Improve comments in io_check_error() and panic()
V3:
- Introduce nmi_panic() macro to reduce code duplication
- In the case of panic on NMI, don't return from NMI handlers
if another CPU already panicked
V2:
- Use atomic_cmpxchg() instead of current spin_trylock() to
exclude concurrent accesses to the panic routines
- Don't introduce no-lock version of panic()
