[PATCH] rtc/rtc-cmos: Initialize hpet timer before irq is registered

From: Pratyush Anand
Date: Thu Sep 15 2016 - 00:08:43 EST


We have observed on few x86 machines with rtc-cmos device that
hpet_rtc_interrupt() is called just after irq registration and before
cmos_do_probe() could call hpet_rtc_timer_init().

So, neither hpet_default_delta nor hpet_t1_cmp is initialized by the time
interrupt is raised in the given situation, and this results in NMI
watchdog LOCKUP.

It has only been observed sporadically on kdump secondary kernels.

See the call trace:

This patch moves hpet_rtc_timer_init() before IRQ registration, so that we
can gracefully handle such spurious interrupts. It also masks HPET RTC
interrupts, in case IRQ registration fails.

We were able to reproduce the problem in maximum 15 trials of kdump
secondary kernel boot on an hp-dl160gen8 FCoE host machine without this
patch. However, more than 35 trials went fine after applying this patch.
