[PATCH v2] PCI: hv: Disable/enable irq rather than bh in hv_compose_msi_msg()

From: Dexuan Cui
Date: Sun Jul 01 2018 - 14:22:50 EST



Commit de0aa7b2f97d ("PCI: hv: Fix 2 hang issues in hv_compose_msi_msg()")
uses local_bh_disable()/enable(), because hv_pci_onchannelcallback() can
also run in tasklet context as the channel event callback, and here we
want to avoid the race.

With CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y in the recent mainline, or old kernels that
don't have commit f71b74bca637 ("irq/softirqs: Use lockdep to assert IRQs
are disabled/enabled"), when the upper layer irq code calls
hv_compose_msi_msg() with local irq DISABLED, we'll see a warning at the
beginning of __local_bh_enable_ip():

IRQs not enabled as expected
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 408 at kernel/softirq.c:162 __local_bh_enable_ip

The warning exposes an issue in de0aa7b2f97d: local_bh_enable() can
potentially call do_softirq(), which is not supposed to run when local
irq is DISABLED. Let's fix this by using local_irq_save()/restore()
instead.

Note: hv_pci_onchannelcallback() is not a hot path because it's only
called when the PCI device is hot added and removed, which is infrequent.
