Subject: [ 07/47] xen/smp: Fix crash when booting with ACPI hotplug CPUs.
Date: Fri, 04 May 2012 13:42:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120504204245.463144806@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120504204307.GA13761@kroah.com>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

commit cf405ae612b0f7e2358db7ff594c0e94846137aa upstream.

When we boot on a machine that can hotplug CPUs and we
are using 'dom0_max_vcpus=X' on the Xen hypervisor line
to clip the amount of CPUs available to the initial domain,
we get this:

(XEN) Command line: com1=115200,8n1 dom0_mem=8G noreboot dom0_max_vcpus=8 sync_console mce_verbosity=verbose console=com1,vga loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all
.. snip..
DMI: Intel Corporation S2600CP/S2600CP, BIOS SE5C600.86B.99.99.x032.072520111118 07/25/2011
.. snip.
SMP: Allowing 64 CPUs, 32 hotplug CPUs
installing Xen timer for CPU 7
cpu 7 spinlock event irq 361
NMI watchdog: disabled (cpu7): hardware events not enabled
Brought up 8 CPUs
.. snip..
	[acpi processor finds the CPUs are not initialized and starts calling
	arch_register_cpu, which creates /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu8/online]
CPU 8 got hotplugged
CPU 9 got hotplugged
CPU 10 got hotplugged
.. snip..
initcall 1_acpi_battery_init_async+0x0/0x1b returned 0 after 406 usecs
calling  erst_init+0x0/0x2bb @ 1

	[and the scheduler sticks newly started tasks on the new CPUs, but
	said CPUs cannot be initialized b/c the hypervisor has limited the
	amount of vCPUS to 8 - as per the dom0_max_vcpus=8 flag.
	The spinlock tries to kick the other CPU, but the structure for that
	is not initialized and we crash.]
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffed8
IP: [<ffffffff81035289>] xen_spin_lock+0x29/0x60
PGD 180d067 PUD 180e067 PMD 0
Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP
CPU 7

Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.4.0-rc2upstream-00001-gf5154e8 #1 Intel Corporation S2600CP/S2600CP
RIP: e030:[<ffffffff81035289>]  [<ffffffff81035289>] xen_spin_lock+0x29/0x60
RSP: e02b:ffff8801fb9b3a70  EFLAGS: 00010282

With this patch, we cap the amount of vCPUS that the initial domain
can run, to exactly what dom0_max_vcpus=X has specified.

In the future, if there is a hypercall that will allow a running
domain to expand past its initial set of vCPUS, this patch should
be re-evaluated.
