The caller must hold sparse_irq_lock. Several code pathes expect that an active bit in the sparse bitmap also has a valid interrupt descriptor. Unfortunately that's not true. The (de)allocation is a two step process, which holds the sparse_irq_lock only across the queue/remove from the radix tree and the set/clear in the allocation bitmap. If a iteration locks sparse_irq_lock between the two steps, then it might see an active bit but the corresponding irq descriptor is NULL. If that is dereferenced unconditionally, then the kernel oopses. Of course, all iterator sites could be audited and fixed, but.... There is no reason why the sparse_irq_lock needs to be dropped between the two steps, in fact the code becomes simpler when the mutex is held across both and the semantics become more straight forward, so future problems of missing NULL pointer checks in the iteration are avoided and all existing sites are fixed in one go.

commit 12ac1d0f6c3e95732d144ffa65c8b20fbd9aa462 upstream.

for_each_active_irq() iterates the sparse irq allocation bitmap. The caller
must hold sparse_irq_lock. Several code pathes expect that an active bit in
the sparse bitmap also has a valid interrupt descriptor.

Unfortunately that's not true. The (de)allocation is a two step process,
which holds the sparse_irq_lock only across the queue/remove from the radix
tree and the set/clear in the allocation bitmap.

If a iteration locks sparse_irq_lock between the two steps, then it might
see an active bit but the corresponding irq descriptor is NULL. If that is
dereferenced unconditionally, then the kernel oopses. Of course, all
iterator sites could be audited and fixed, but....

There is no reason why the sparse_irq_lock needs to be dropped between the
two steps, in fact the code becomes simpler when the mutex is held across
both and the semantics become more straight forward, so future problems of
missing NULL pointer checks in the iteration are avoided and all existing
sites are fixed in one go.

Expand the lock held sections so both operations are covered and the bitmap
and the radixtree are in sync.

genirq: Prevent chip buslock deadlock 2016-01-22T21:40:09+00:00 Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de 2015-12-13T17:12:30+00:00 18020036abfe56b51b08f2e337482ce8b2237eea commit abc7e40c81d113ef4bacb556f0a77ca63ac81d85 upstream. If a interrupt chip utilizes chip->buslock then free_irq() can deadlock in the following way: CPU0 CPU1 interrupt(X) (Shared or spurious) free_irq(X) interrupt_thread(X) chip_bus_lock(X) irq_finalize_oneshot(X) chip_bus_lock(X) synchronize_irq(X) synchronize_irq() waits for the interrupt thread to complete, i.e. forever. Solution is simple: Drop chip_bus_lock() before calling synchronize_irq() as we do with the irq_desc lock. There is nothing to be protected after the point where irq_desc lock has been released. This adds chip_bus_lock/unlock() to the remove_irq() code path, but that's actually correct in the case where remove_irq() is called on such an interrupt. The current users of remove_irq() are not affected as none of those interrupts is on a chip which requires buslock.

commit abc7e40c81d113ef4bacb556f0a77ca63ac81d85 upstream.

If a interrupt chip utilizes chip->buslock then free_irq() can
deadlock in the following way:

CPU0				CPU1
				interrupt(X) (Shared or spurious)
free_irq(X)			interrupt_thread(X)
chip_bus_lock(X)

synchronize_irq() waits for the interrupt thread to complete,
i.e. forever.

Solution is simple: Drop chip_bus_lock() before calling
synchronize_irq() as we do with the irq_desc lock. There is nothing to
be protected after the point where irq_desc lock has been released.

This adds chip_bus_lock/unlock() to the remove_irq() code path, but
that's actually correct in the case where remove_irq() is called on
such an interrupt. The current users of remove_irq() are not affected
as none of those interrupts is on a chip which requires buslock.

genirq: Sanitize spurious interrupt detection of threaded irqs 2014-07-11T12:33:34+00:00 Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de 2013-03-07T13:53:45+00:00 00ff92c2da9ed2bba1f1df324129e7767eeda63a commit 1e77d0a1ed7417d2a5a52a7b8d32aea1833faa6c upstream. Till reported that the spurious interrupt detection of threaded interrupts is broken in two ways: - note_interrupt() is called for each action thread of a shared interrupt line. That's wrong as we are only interested whether none of the device drivers felt responsible for the interrupt, but by calling multiple times for a single interrupt line we account IRQ_NONE even if one of the drivers felt responsible. - note_interrupt() when called from the thread handler is not serialized. That leaves the members of irq_desc which are used for the spurious detection unprotected. To solve this we need to defer the spurious detection of a threaded interrupt to the next hardware interrupt context where we have implicit serialization. If note_interrupt is called with action_ret == IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, we check whether the previous interrupt requested a deferred check. If not, we request a deferred check for the next hardware interrupt and return. If set, we check whether one of the interrupt threads signaled success. Depending on this information we feed the result into the spurious detector.

It is similar for CPU0 atomic_read() threads_active also.

genirq: Always force thread affinity 2013-01-03T03:33:05+00:00 Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de 2012-11-03T10:52:09+00:00 b8bc403446ea63e0285e50c1add8d7afc1e851d4 commit 04aa530ec04f61875b99c12721162e2964e3318c upstream. Sankara reported that the genirq core code fails to adjust the affinity of an interrupt thread in several cases: 1) On request/setup_irq() the call to setup_affinity() happens before the new action is registered, so the new thread is not notified. 2) For secondary shared interrupts nothing notifies the new thread to change its affinity. 3) Interrupts which have the IRQ_NO_BALANCE flag set are not moving the thread either. Fix this by setting the thread affinity flag right on thread creation time. This ensures that under all circumstances the thread moves to the right place. Requires a check in irq_thread_check_affinity for an existing affinity mask (CONFIG_CPU_MASK_OFFSTACK=y) Reported-and-tested-by: Sankara Muthukrishnan <sankara.m@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LFD.2.02.1209041738200.2754@ionos Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> 
commit 04aa530ec04f61875b99c12721162e2964e3318c upstream.

Sankara reported that the genirq core code fails to adjust the
affinity of an interrupt thread in several cases:

 1) On request/setup_irq() the call to setup_affinity() happens before
    the new action is registered, so the new thread is not notified.

 2) For secondary shared interrupts nothing notifies the new thread to
    change its affinity.

 3) Interrupts which have the IRQ_NO_BALANCE flag set are not moving
    the thread either.

Fix this by setting the thread affinity flag right on thread creation
time. This ensures that under all circumstances the thread moves to
the right place. Requires a check in irq_thread_check_affinity for an
existing affinity mask (CONFIG_CPU_MASK_OFFSTACK=y)
