For example (x86 case): CPU 0: oops_end() crash_kexec() mutex_trylock() // acquired nmi_shootdown_cpus() // stop other cpus CPU 1: panic() crash_kexec() mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire smp_send_stop() // stop other cpus infinite loop If CPU 1 calls smp_send_stop() before nmi_shootdown_cpus(), kdump fails. In another case: CPU 0: oops_end() crash_kexec() mutex_trylock() // acquired io_check_error() panic() crash_kexec() mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire infinite loop Clearly, this is an undesirable result. To fix this problem, this patch changes crash_kexec() to exclude others by using atomic_t panic_cpu. V4: - Use new __crash_kexec(), no exclusion check version of crash_kexec(), instead of checking if panic_cpu is the current cpu or not V2: - Use atomic_cmpxchg() instead of spin_trylock() on panic_lock to exclude concurrent accesses - Don't introduce no-lock version of crash_kexec() Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai Cc: Eric Biederman Cc: Vivek Goyal Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Michal Hocko --- include/linux/kexec.h | 1 + kernel/kexec_core.c | 26 +++++++++++++++++++++++++- kernel/panic.c | 4 ++-- 3 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/kexec.h b/include/linux/kexec.h index d140b1e..f0cd2fa 100644 --- a/include/linux/kexec.h +++ b/include/linux/kexec.h @@ -237,6 +237,7 @@ extern int kexec_purgatory_get_set_symbol(struct kimage *image, unsigned int size, bool get_value); extern void *kexec_purgatory_get_symbol_addr(struct kimage *image, const char *name); +extern void __crash_kexec(struct pt_regs *); extern void crash_kexec(struct pt_regs *); int kexec_should_crash(struct task_struct *); void crash_save_cpu(struct pt_regs *regs, int cpu); diff --git a/kernel/kexec_core.c b/kernel/kexec_core.c index 201b453..4edb20a 100644 --- a/kernel/kexec_core.c +++ b/kernel/kexec_core.c @@ -853,7 +853,8 @@ int kimage_load_segment(struct kimage *image, struct kimage *kexec_crash_image; int kexec_load_disabled; -void crash_kexec(struct pt_regs *regs) +/* No panic_cpu check version of crash_kexec */ +void __crash_kexec(struct pt_regs *regs) { /* Take the kexec_mutex here to prevent sys_kexec_load * running on one cpu from replacing the crash kernel @@ -876,6 +877,29 @@ void crash_kexec(struct pt_regs *regs) } } +void crash_kexec(struct pt_regs *regs) +{ + int old_cpu, this_cpu; + + /* + * Only one CPU is allowed to execute the crash_kexec() code as with + * panic().
