Subject: [PATCH 1/6] irq_work: Re-raise pending irq_work after system resume
Date: Mon,  2 Nov 2026 09:40:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102074039.26983-2-adrian.hunter@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102074039.26983-1-adrian.hunter@intel.com>

irq_work_queue() raises the irq_work self-interrupt only when adding
work to an empty raised_list.  Once raised_list is non-empty, further
queueing assumes the interrupt is already pending and will eventually
process the list.

That assumption can fail across system suspend.  irq_work queued after
arch_suspend_disable_irqs() and before the interrupt controller is
suspended, for example from NMI context, may leave its self-interrupt
pending in hardware.  If that pending interrupt state is lost during
suspend, hibernation restore, or kexec jump, raised_list remains
non-empty after resume but nothing will process it.

Subsequent irq_work added to raised_list will not raise another
interrupt because the list is already non-empty.  Architectures that use
an irq_work interrupt and do not process raised_list from the tick can
therefore leave irq_work pending indefinitely.  A caller waiting in
irq_work_sync() may then spin forever, for example when closing a perf
event whose pending irq_work never executes.

For suspend, hibernation, and kexec jump, only the CPU that remains
online is affected.  The other CPUs are taken offline beforehand, and
smpcfd_dying_cpu() runs irq_work_run() on each CPU before it is removed,
so checking the local raised_list is sufficient.

Add irq_work_resend(), which re-raises the irq_work self-interrupt when
raised_list is non-empty, and invoke it from syscore_resume() after
interrupt controllers have been restored.  Also invoke it from the
syscore_suspend() failure path, after the already-suspended callbacks
have been resumed, because callers do not call syscore_resume() in that
case.  This restores a lost irq_work interrupt on the CPU that remains
online for suspend-to-RAM, hibernation, and kexec jump.

If the original interrupt was not lost, the extra self-interrupt is
harmless.

Example S3 with perf record that always loses a self-IPI:

 # echo deep > /sys/power/mem_sleep
 # cat /sys/power/mem_sleep
 s2idle [deep]
 # perf record -e power:suspend_resume --no-buffering -C 0 -o /tmp/s3.data &
 [2] 2147
 # rtcwake -m mem -s 10
 rtcwake: wakeup from "mem" using /dev/rtc0
 # kill -INT %2
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.892 MB /tmp/s3.data ]

 Now perf record is stuck in irq_work_sync() which spins forever:

 # perf record -C 0 -- sleep 1 | perf report --stdio
 # Overhead  Command  Shared Object      Symbol
 # ........  .......  .................  ................................
 #
     99.98%  perf     [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] irq_work_sync
      0.02%  perf     [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ktime_get_update_offsets_now

 Eventually resulting in hung tasks:

 INFO: task kworker/u8:1:35 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
       Not tainted 7.3.0 #2
 task:kworker/u8:1    state:D stack:0     pid:35    tgid:35    ppid:2      task_flags:0x4208060 flags:0x00080000
 Workqueue: events_unbound fsnotify_mark_destroy_workfn
