From b9acc49ee9464f8f8232a790045d057eb158e869 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arun KS Date: Wed, 7 May 2014 02:41:23 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Fix deadlock scenario with smp_send_stop() If one process calls sys_reboot and that process then stops other CPUs while those CPUs are within a spin_lock() region we can potentially encounter a deadlock scenario like below. CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- spin_lock(my_lock) smp_send_stop() handle_IPI() disable_preemption/irqs while(1); spin_lock(my_lock) <--- Waits forever We shouldn't attempt to run any other tasks after we send a stop IPI to a CPU so disable preemption so that this task runs to completion. We use local_irq_disable() here for cross-arch consistency with x86.
