Subject: [PATCH v2] riscv: Disable preemption while handling PR_RISCV_CTX_SW_FENCEI_OFF
Date: Tue, 03 Sep 2024 15:52:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240903-fix_fencei_optimization-v2-1-8025f20171fc@rivosinc.com> (raw)

The icache will be flushed in switch_to() if force_icache_flush is true,
or in flush_icache_deferred() if icache_stale_mask is set. Between
setting force_icache_flush to false and calculating the new
icache_stale_mask, preemption needs to be disabled. There are two
reasons for this:

1. If CPU migration happens between force_icache_flush = false, and the
   icache_stale_mask is set, an icache flush will not be emitted.
2. smp_processor_id() is used in set_icache_stale_mask() to mark the
   current CPU as not needing another flush since a flush will have
   happened either by userspace or by the kernel when performing the
   migration. smp_processor_id() is currently called twice with preemption
   enabled which causes a race condition. It allows
   icache_stale_mask to be populated with inconsistent CPU ids.

Resolve these two issues by setting the icache_stale_mask before setting
force_icache_flush to false, and using get_cpu()/put_cpu() to obtain the
smp_processor_id().
