From 768aec0b5bccbd460bcf6e9131f19b5a26f3862d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Vorontsov Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:21:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250: fix shared interrupts issues with SMP and RT kernels With SMP kernels _irqsave spinlock disables only local interrupts, while the shared serial interrupt could be assigned to the CPU that is not currently starting up the serial port. This might cause issues because serial8250_startup() routine issues IRQ-triggering operations before registering the port in the IRQ chain (though, this is fine to do and done explicitly because we don't want to process any interrupts on the port startup). With RT kernels and preemptable hardirqs, _irqsave spinlock does not disable local hardirqs, and the bug could be reproduced much easily: $ cat /dev/ttyS0 & $ cat /dev/ttyS1 irq 42: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Call Trace: [C0475EB0] [C0008A98] show_stack+0x4c/0x1ac (unreliable) [C0475EF0] [C004BBD4] __report_bad_irq+0x34/0xb8 [C0475F10] [C004BD38] note_interrupt+0xe0/0x308 [C0475F50] [C004B09C] thread_simple_irq+0xdc/0x104 [C0475F70] [C004B3FC] do_irqd+0x338/0x3c8 [C0475FC0] [C00398E0] kthread+0xf8/0x100 [C0475FF0] [C0011FE0] original_kernel_thread+0x44/0x60 handlers: [] (serial8250_interrupt+0x0/0x138) Disabling IRQ #42 After this, all serial ports on the given IRQ are non-functional. To fix the issue we should explicitly disable shared IRQ before issuing any IRQ-triggering operations. I also changed spin_lock_irqsave to the ordinary spin_lock, since it seems to be safe: chain does not contain new port (yet), thus nobody will interfere us from the ISRs.
