Hi Greg, Jiri or Liang Li

pch_uart: fix a deadlock when pch_uart as console

This looks applicable to stable-3.4, and it
was built successful for me. What do you think?

Thanks!
Yijing.

I'm queuing it for the 3.5 as well.

Also, this seems to be applicable to older kernels as well.

I've queued this up for 3.2 as well, thanks.

Hi!

I forgot to tag the following two commits for stable:

dea1d0f5f128 ("smp/hotplug: Replace BUG_ON and react useful")
9cd4f1a4e7a8 ("smp/hotplug: Move unparking of percpu threads to the control CPU")

Can you please pick them up?

Sorry for the inconveniance.

Sure, but for what kernel tree(s)?

These applied to 4.12-stable, but not 4.9-stable, and I think they need
to go there too, right?  If so, can you provide backports?

Sure. Backport for 9cd4f1a4e7a8 below. dea1d0f5f128 then applies on top.

Subject: smp/hotplug: Move unparking of percpu threads to the control CPU

Upstream commit 9cd4f1a4e7a858849e889a081a99adff83e08e4c

Vikram reported the following backtrace:
    
   BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/7/0/0x00000002
   CPU: 7 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/7 Not tainted 4.9.32-perf+ #680
   schedule
   schedule_hrtimeout_range_clock
   schedule_hrtimeout
   wait_task_inactive
   __kthread_bind_mask
   __kthread_bind
   __kthread_unpark
   kthread_unpark
   cpuhp_online_idle
   cpu_startup_entry
   secondary_start_kernel

He analyzed correctly that a parked cpu hotplug thread of an offlined CPU
was still on the runqueue when the CPU came back online and tried to unpark
it. This causes the thread which invoked kthread_unpark() to call
wait_task_inactive() and subsequently schedule() with preemption disabled.
His proposed workaround was to "make sure" that a parked thread has
scheduled out when the CPU goes offline, so the situation cannot happen.

But that's still wrong because the root cause is not the fact that the
percpu thread is still on the runqueue and neither that preemption is
disabled, which could be simply solved by enabling preemption before
calling kthread_unpark().

The real issue is that the calling thread is the idle task of the upcoming
CPU, which is not supposed to call anything which might sleep.  The moron,
who wrote that code, missed completely that kthread_unpark() might end up
in schedule().

The solution is simpler than expected. The thread which controls the
hotplug operation is waiting for the CPU to call complete() on the hotplug
state completion. So the idle task of the upcoming CPU can set its state to
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE and invoke complete(). This in turn wakes the control
task on a different CPU, which then can safely do the unpark and kick the
now unparked hotplug thread of the upcoming CPU to complete the bringup to
the final target state.

Hi,

Please include commit ("6cecdf7a161d drm/dp/mst: save vcpi with
payloads") to Stable tree.

In commit ("bb08c04dc867 drm/dp/mst: fix kernel oops when turning off
secondary monitor"), variable "mgr->payloads[i].vcpi" won't get update
without this patch.

bb08c04dc867 was backported to v3.18+, so this patch is also needed by v3.18+.

Thanks.

What stable tree(s) do you think this should be applied to?  If it
hasn't already been applied, odds are there was something preventing it
from going there (build error, or it doesn't apply?)

Do you have working backported versions?

Ah, my appologies, I was looking at the wrong one in your email above.
