From 5bf3b0a5b7b7b14323a2642c75be9776aa35f317 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:20:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 206/352] x86/mce: use swait queue for mce wakeups We had a customer report a lockup on a 3.0-rt kernel that had the following backtrace: [ffff88107fca3e80] rt_spin_lock_slowlock at ffffffff81499113 [ffff88107fca3f40] rt_spin_lock at ffffffff81499a56 [ffff88107fca3f50] __wake_up at ffffffff81043379 [ffff88107fca3f80] mce_notify_irq at ffffffff81017328 [ffff88107fca3f90] intel_threshold_interrupt at ffffffff81019508 [ffff88107fca3fa0] smp_threshold_interrupt at ffffffff81019fc1 [ffff88107fca3fb0] threshold_interrupt at ffffffff814a1853 It actually bugged because the lock was taken by the same owner that already had that lock. What happened was the thread that was setting itself on a wait queue had the lock when an MCE triggered. The MCE interrupt does a wake up on its wait list and grabs the same lock. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A BUG ON MAINLINE Sorry for yelling, but as I Cc'd mainline maintainers I want them to know that this is an PREEMPT_RT bug only. I only Cc'd them for advice. On PREEMPT_RT the wait queue locks are converted from normal "spin_locks" into an rt_mutex (see the rt_spin_lock_slowlock above). These are not to be taken by hard interrupt context. This usually isn't a problem as most all interrupts in PREEMPT_RT are converted into schedulable threads. Unfortunately that's not the case with the MCE irq. As wait queue locks are notorious for long hold times, we can not convert them to raw_spin_locks without causing issues with -rt. But Thomas has created a "simple-wait" structure that uses raw spin locks which may have been a good fit. Unfortunately, wait queues are not the only issue, as the mce_notify_irq also does a schedule_work(), which grabs the workqueue spin locks that have the exact same issue. Thus, this patch I'm proposing is to move the actual work of the MCE interrupt into a helper thread that gets woken up on the MCE interrupt and does the work in a schedulable context. NOTE: THIS PATCH ONLY CHANGES THE BEHAVIOR WHEN PREEMPT_RT IS SET Oops, sorry for yelling again, but I want to stress that I keep the same behavior of mainline when PREEMPT_RT is not set. Thus, this only changes the MCE behavior when PREEMPT_RT is configured.
