Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ACPI: APEI: GHES: Use spin_lock_irqsave() for CXL CPER work locks
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 09:28:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709162807.1957783-2-dave.jiang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709162807.1957783-1-dave.jiang@intel.com>
cxl_cper_post_event() and cxl_cper_post_prot_err() acquire
cxl_cper_work_lock and cxl_cper_prot_err_work_lock with
spin_lock_irqsave(). These producers run from ghes_do_proc() in hard IRQ
context (the GHES IRQ handler) and, for SEA/NMI notifications, from NMI
context.
The register/unregister helpers take the same two locks with a plain
spin_lock() from process context (cxl_ras_init()/cxl_ras_exit() at module
load and unload). If a GHES error interrupt is delivered to a CPU that is
holding one of these locks via the plain spin_lock(), the interrupt
handler's spin_lock_irqsave() on the same lock spins forever against a
lock the interrupted thread can no longer release.
Take these locks with spin_lock_irqsave() on the register/unregister
paths as well.
