Subject: [PATCH] pci: aer: wait till the workqueue completes before free memory
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2015 15:32:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151217143243.GA9654@linutronix.de> (raw)
I start a binary which should flash the FPGA and re-enumare the PCI-BUS
and find a new device. It works most of the time. With SLUB debug it
crashes on each iteration with something like this (compressed output):
| pcieport 0000:00:00.0: AER: Multiple Corrected error received: id=0000
| Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x27ef9e3e
| Faulting instruction address: 0x602f5328
| Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
| Workqueue: events aer_isr
| GPR24: dd6aa000 6b6b6b6b 605f8378 605f8360 d99b12c0 604fc674 606b1704 d99b12c0
| NIP [602f5328] pci_walk_bus+0xd4/0x104
Register 25 has the user-after magic. As it turns out, the old PCIe
device is leaving, generates an error before it left, aer_irq() is fired,
it schedules a work item. What happens now is that free_irq() is
invoked, all resources are gone *before* the aes_isr() work item is
completed.
So to fix this, I flush the workqueue to ensure that there is no more
work pending.

Bjorn, this could deserve a stable tag. However it seems to have been
like that even in v2.6.20.
