Subject: [PATCH] arm64: kexec: Check if IRQ is already masked before masking
Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2024 05:05:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241126050509.4426-1-farbere@amazon.com> (raw)

During machine kexec, the function machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() is
responsible for masking all interrupts. However, the current
implementation unconditionally calls the irq_mask() function for each
interrupt descriptor, even if the interrupt is already masked.

This commit adds a check to verify if the interrupt is not already
masked before calling the irq_mask() function. This change avoids
redundant masking operations and potential issues that might arise from
attempting to mask an already masked interrupt.

A specific issue was observed in the crash kernel flow after unbinding a
device (prior to kexec) that used a GPIO as an IRQ source. The warning
was triggered by the gpiochip_disable_irq() function, which attempted to
clear the FLAG_IRQ_IS_ENABLED flag when FLAG_USED_AS_IRQ was not set:

```
void gpiochip_disable_irq(struct gpio_chip *gc, unsigned int offset)
{
	struct gpio_desc *desc = gpiochip_get_desc(gc, offset);

	if (!IS_ERR(desc) &&
	    !WARN_ON(!test_bit(FLAG_USED_AS_IRQ, &desc->flags)))
		clear_bit(FLAG_IRQ_IS_ENABLED, &desc->flags);
}
```

This issue began after commit a8173820f441 ("gpio: gpiolib: Allow GPIO
IRQs to lazy disable"), which replaced IRQ disable/enable hooks with
mask/unmask hooks in some cases. The irq_disable hook was protected
against disabling an already disabled IRQ, but the irq_mask hook in
machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() was not.

When a driver that uses a GPIO-irq is unbound, the corresponding IRQ is
released, invoking __irq_disable() and irq_state_set_masked().
Subsequently, machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() attempts to call the
chip->irq_mask() function again. This invokes gpiochip_irq_mask() and
gpiochip_disable_irq(), and since FLAG_USED_AS_IRQ has already been
cleared, this results in a warning being printed.
