[patch 2/5] genirq: Add optional hardware synchronization for shutdown
From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue Jun 25 2019 - 07:24:46 EST
free_irq() ensures that no hardware interrupt handler is executing on a
different CPU before actually releasing resources and deactivating the
interrupt completely in a domain hierarchy.
But that does not catch the case where the interrupt is on flight at the
hardware level but not yet serviced by the target CPU. That creates an
interesing race condition:
CPU 0 CPU 1 IRQ CHIP
interrupt is raised
sent to CPU1
Unable to handle
immediately
(interrupts off,
deep idle delay)
mask()
...
free()
shutdown()
synchronize_irq()
release_resources()
do_IRQ()
-> resources are not available
That might be harmless and just trigger a spurious interrupt warning, but
some interrupt chips might get into a wedged state.
Provide infrastructure for interrupt chips to provide an optional
irq_inflight() callback and use it for the synchronization in free_irq().
synchronize_[hard]irq() are not using this mechanism as it might actually
deadlock unter certain conditions.
Fixes: 464d12309e1b ("x86/vector: Switch IOAPIC to global reservation mode")
