Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc: Fix smp_send_stop NMI IPI handling
Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2018 21:35:12 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180425113512.20595-1-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
The NMI IPI handler for a receiving CPU increments nmi_ipi_busy_count
over the handler function call, which causes later smp_send_nmi_ipi()
callers to spin until the call is finished.
The smp_send_stop function never returns, so the busy count is never
decremeted, which can cause the system to hang in some cases. For
example panic() will call smp_send_stop early on, then later in the
reboot path, pnv_restart will call smp_send_stop again, which hangs.
Fix this by adding a special case to the smp_send_stop handler to
decrement the busy count, because it will never return.
Fixes: 6bed3237624e3 ("powerpc: use NMI IPI for smp_send_stop")
