From e5ab012c3271990e8457055c25cafddc1ae8aa6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:15:36 +0100 Subject: nohz: Make tick_nohz_irq_exit() irq safe As it stands, irq_exit() may or may not be called with irqs disabled, depending on __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED that the arch can define. It makes tick_nohz_irq_exit() unsafe. For example two interrupts can race in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(): the inner most one computes the expiring time on top of the timer list, then it's interrupted right before reprogramming the clock. The new interrupt enqueues a new timer list timer, it reprogram the clock to take it into account and it exits. The CPUs resumes the inner most interrupt and performs the clock reprogramming without considering the new timer list timer. This regression has been introduced by: 280f06774afedf849f0b34248ed6aff57d0f6908 ("nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logic") Let's fix it right now with the appropriate protections. A saner long term solution will be to remove __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED and mandate that irq_exit() is called with interrupts disabled.

This can happen on architectures which do not define __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED. __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED should go away and we want to make it mandatory to call irq_exit() with interrupts disabled. As a temporary protection disable interrupts for those architectures which do not define __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED and add a WARN_ONCE when an architecture which defines __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED calls irq_exit() with interrupts enabled.

This workaround was necessary because some archs may call irq_exit() with irqs enabled and there is still some code in the end of this function that is not covered by the HARDIRQ_OFFSET but want to stay non-preemptible. Now that irq are always disabled in irq_exit(), the whole code is guaranteed not to be preempted. We can thus remove this hack.
