Calling arch_update_cpu_topology from a CPU hotplug state machine callback hits a deadlock because the function tries to get a read lock on cpu_hotplug_lock while the state machine still holds a write lock on it.
Since all callers of arch_update_cpu_topology except rtasd already hold cpu_hotplug_lock, this patch changes the function to use stop_machine_cpuslocked and creates a separate function for rtasd which still tries to obtain the lock. Michael Bringmann investigated the bug and provided a detailed analysis of the deadlock on this previous RFC for an alternate solution: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/771293/ Signed-off-by: Thiago Jung Bauermann <bauer...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> --- Notes: This patch applies on tip/smp/hotplug, it should probably be carried there. arch/powerpc/include/asm/topology.h | 6 ++++++ arch/powerpc/kernel/rtasd.c | 2 +- arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c | 22 +++++++++++++++++++--- 3 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/topology.h b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/topology.h index 8b3b46b7b0f2..a2d36b7703ae 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/topology.h +++ b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/topology.h @@ -43,6 +43,7 @@ extern void __init dump_numa_cpu_topology(void); extern int sysfs_add_device_to_node(struct device *dev, int nid); extern void sysfs_remove_device_from_node(struct device *dev, int nid); +extern int numa_update_cpu_topology(bool cpus_locked); #else @@ -57,6 +58,11 @@ static inline void sysfs_remove_device_from_node(struct device *dev, int nid) { } + +static inline int numa_update_cpu_topology(bool cpus_locked) +{ + return 0; +} #endif /* CONFIG_NUMA */ #if defined(CONFIG_NUMA) && defined(CONFIG_PPC_SPLPAR) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/rtasd.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/rtasd.c index 3650732639ed..0f0b1b2f3b60 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/rtasd.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/rtasd.c @@ -283,7 +283,7 @@ static void prrn_work_fn(struct work_struct *work) * the RTAS event. */ pseries_devicetree_update(-prrn_update_scope); - arch_update_cpu_topology(); + numa_update_cpu_topology(false); } static DECLARE_WORK(prrn_work, prrn_work_fn); diff --git a/arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c b/arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c index 371792e4418f..b95c584ce19d 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c @@ -1311,8 +1311,10 @@ static int update_lookup_table(void *data) /* * Update the node maps and sysfs entries for each cpu whose home node * has changed.
