Subject: [next][bug] rcu_dyntick_kick_cpu() kills ARM SMP.
Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 16:08:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E09EE75.9040204@arm.com> (raw)
Paul,
I've updated my -next tree (to next-20110628) today, and discovered
that my favorite ARM board wouldn't boot anymore:
[...]
Hierarchical RCU implementation.
NR_IRQS:128 nr_irqs:128 128
Console: colour dummy device 80x30
Calibrating delay loop... 83.35 BogoMIPS (lpj=416768)
pid_max: default: 32768 minimum: 301
Mount-cache hash table entries: 512
CPU: Testing write buffer coherency: ok
Calibrating local timer... 104.04MHz.
CPU1: Booted secondary processor
CPU1: Unknown IPI message 0x1
CPU2: Booted secondary processor
CPU2: Unknown IPI message 0x1
CPU3: Booted secondary processor
CPU3: Unknown IPI message 0x1
Brought up 4 CPUs
SMP: Total of 4 processors activated (333.92 BogoMIPS).

... and here it dies.
The offending commit is b983032b7 (rcu: Avoid grace-period overflow for
long dyntick-idle periods). rcu_dyntick_kick_cpu() tries to do a CPU
cross-call with interrupts disabled, which kills the box. Reverting this
patch results in a working system.
My RCU-foo being rather low, I haven't dug deeper into this. Please let
me know if you want me to test anything.
Cheers,
M.
