Subject: [PATCH v2 6.6.y, 6.1.y, 5.15.y, 5.10.y] genirq/kexec: Do not take the bus lock of an interrupt chip on the crash path
Date: Mon, 09 Nov 2026 16:47:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87eccuuhvt.ffs@fw13> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026-11-08-1-daily-reply-0008-genirq-kexec-6-6@kernel.org>
From: Igor Velkov <iav@iav.lv>
commit 717862eac6eff0eea8ac30a0c0de0bed84922aab upstream.
machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() calls irq_set_irqchip_state() for every
started interrupt. That function takes the bus lock of the chip and
desc->lock, and syncs the chip when it drops them. On the crash path
interrupts are off and the other CPUs are stopped, so a chip whose bus
transfer is completed by an interrupt never returns from the sync.
On RK3399 boards with an RK808 PMIC the RTC alarm interrupt belongs to
the regmap-irq chip of the RK808, which sits on I2C. rk808_irq_chip sets
init_ack_masked, so regmap_irq_sync_unlock() writes the ack register on
every unlock, and the I2C controller needs its own interrupt to finish
the transfer. A panic with a crash kernel loaded prints
SMP: stopping secondary CPUs
and then nothing until the watchdog resets the board.
machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() takes neither lock for the other
operations on the descriptor. Move the search for the chip that
implements irq_set_irqchip_state() into __irq_set_irqchip_state(), which
takes no locks, and call it from machine_kexec_mask_interrupts().
