[RFC PATCH v3] pci: Concurrency issue during pci enable bridge
From: Srinath Mannam
Date: Fri Aug 04 2017 - 10:57:51 EST
Concurrency issue is observed during pci enable bridge called
for multiple pci devices initialization in SMP system.
Setup details:
- SMP system with 8 ARMv8 cores running Linux kernel(4.11).
- Two EPs are connected to PCIe RC through bridge as shown
in the below figure.
[RC]
|
[BRIDGE]
|
-----------
| |
[EP] [EP]
Issue description:
After PCIe enumeration completed EP driver probe function called
for both the devices from two CPUS simultaneously.
>From EP probe function, pci_enable_device_mem called for both the EPs.
This function called pci_enable_bridge enable for all the bridges
recursively in the path of EP to RC.
Inside pci_enable_bridge function, at two places concurrency issue is
observed.
Place 1:
CPU 0:
1. Done Atomic increment dev->enable_cnt
in pci_enable_device_flags
2. Inside pci_enable_resources
3. Completed pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &cmd)
4. Ready to set PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY (0x2) in
pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, cmd)
CPU 1:
1. Check pci_is_enabled in function pci_enable_bridge
and it is true
2. Check (!dev->is_busmaster) also true
3. Gone into pci_set_master
4. Completed pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &old_cmd)
5. Ready to set PCI_COMMAND_MASTER (0x4) in
pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, cmd)
By the time of last point for both the CPUs are read value 0 and
ready to write 2 and 4.
After last point final value in PCI_COMMAND register is 4 instead of 6.
Place 2:
CPU 0:
1. Done Atomic increment dev->enable_cnt in
pci_enable_device_flags
