Subject: [PATCH v2] x86: Don't recursively acquire rtc_lock
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 17:12:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1314720739-28683-1-git-send-email-matt@console-pimps.org> (raw)
From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>
A deadlock was introduced on x86 in commit ef68c8f87ed1 ("x86:
Serialize EFI time accesses on rtc_lock") because efi_get_time() and
friends can be called with rtc_lock already held by
read_persistent_time(), e.g.
timekeeping_init()
read_persistent_clock() <-- acquire rtc_lock
efi_get_time()
phys_efi_get_time() <-- acquire rtc_lock <DEADLOCK>
To fix this let's push the locking down into the get_wallclock() and
set_wallclock() implementations. Only the clock implementations that
access the x86 RTC directly need to acquire rtc_lock, so it makes
sense to push the locking down into the rtc, vrtc and efi code.
The virtualization implementations don't require rtc_lock to be held
because they provide their own serialization.
