Subject: [RFC PATCH powerpc] Fix a lazy irq related WARING in arch_local_irq_restore()
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2012 11:56:02 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1348458962.2475.8.camel@ThinkPad-T420> (raw)
This patch tries to fix a WARNING in irq.c(below), when doing cpu offline/online.
The reason is that if the preferred offline state is CPU_STATE_INACTIVE, when
cpu offline, pseries_mach_cpu_die() calls extended_cede_processor() to cede
the processor. After the hv call returns, the MSR_EE is enabled, while
the irq_happened in paca should already be set as PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS.
Then when the cpu is put online again, the warning is reported when
start_secondary() tries to enable irq. [ Sometimes, we don't see this warning,
that's because when we come to local_irq_enable(), there might already have been
some interrupts occurred, e.g. PACA_IRQ_DEC is already set. ]
The patch tries to clear MSR_EE by calling __hard_irq_disable() after cede
returns, and before calling start_secondary_resume().
