Pavel Emelianov f72fa70760 [PATCH] Fix misrouted interrupts deadlocks ... While testing kernel on machine with "irqpoll" option I've caught such a lockup: __do_IRQ() spin_lock(&desc->lock); desc->chip->ack(); /* IRQ is ACKed */ note_interrupt() misrouted_irq() handle_IRQ_event() if (...) local_irq_enable_in_hardirq(); /* interrupts are enabled from now */ ... __do_IRQ() /* same IRQ we've started from */ spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* LOCKUP */ Looking at misrouted_irq() code I've found that a potential deadlock like this can also take place: 1CPU: __do_IRQ() spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */ misrouted_irq() for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) { spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */ if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) { 2CPU: __do_IRQ() spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */ misrouted_irq() for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) { spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */ if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) { As the second lock on both CPUs is taken before checking that this irq is being handled in another processor this may cause a deadlock. This issue is only theoretical. I propose the attached patch to fix booth problems: when trying to handle misrouted IRQ active desc->lock may be unlocked.
