Subject: [PATCH 1/1] virtio/s390: fix race on airq_areas[]
Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2019 00:58:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190723225817.12800-1-pasic@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
The access to airq_areas was racy ever since the adapter interrupts got
introduced to virtio-ccw, but since commit 39c7dcb15892 ("virtio/s390:
make airq summary indicators DMA") this became an issue in practice as
well. Namely before that commit the airq_info that got overwritten was
still functional. After that commit however the two infos share a
summary_indicator, which aggravates the situation. Which means
auto-online mechanism occasionally hangs the boot with virtio_blk.

Fixes: 96b14536d935 ("virtio-ccw: virtio-ccw adapter interrupt support.")

* We need definitely this fixed for 5.3. For older stable kernels it is
to be discussed. @Connie what do you think: do we need a cc stable?
* I have a variant that does not need the extra mutex but uses cmpxchg().
Decided to post this one because that one is more complex. But if there
is interest we can have a look at it as well.
