[PATCH 4.15 020/163] powerpc/kernel: Block interrupts when updating TIDR

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Feb 21 2018 - 08:07:19 EST


4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 384dfd627f1ee67d028e6f14c6e9bf5a1e2a7a24 upstream.

clear_thread_tidr() is called in interrupt context as a part of delayed
put of the task structure (i.e as a part of timer interrupt). To prevent
a deadlock, block interrupts when holding vas_thread_id_lock to set/
clear TIDR for a task.

Fixes: ec233ede4c86 ("powerpc: Add support for setting SPRN_TIDR")
