[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 199/273] ARCv2: SMP: Emulate IPI to self using software triggered interrupt

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Mon Mar 07 2016 - 18:26:14 EST


4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit bb143f814ea488769ca2e79e0b376139cb5f134b upstream.

ARConnect/MCIP Inter-Core-Interrupt module can't send interrupt to
local core. So use core intc capability to trigger software
interrupt to self, using an unsued IRQ #21.

This showed up as csd deadlock with LTP trace_sched on a dual core
system. This test acts as scheduler fuzzer, triggering all sorts of
schedulting activity. Trouble starts with IPI to self, which doesn't get
delivered (effectively lost due to H/w capability), but the msg intended
to be sent remain enqueued in per-cpu @ipi_data.

All subsequent IPIs to this core from other cores get elided due to the
IPI coalescing optimization in ipi_send_msg_one() where a pending msg
implies an IPI already sent and assumes other core is yet to ack it.
After the elided IPI, other core simply goes into csd_lock_wait()
but never comes out as this core never sees the interrupt.

Fixes STAR 9001008624
