Subject: [PATCH] reboot: call syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()
Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 17:25:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1364981136-25629-1-git-send-email-chenhc@lemote.com> (raw)
As commit 40dc166c (PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core
subsystems PM) say, syscore_ops operations should be carried with one
CPU on-line and interrupts disabled. However, after commit f96972f2d
(kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()),
syscore_shutdown() is called before disable_nonboot_cpus(), so break
the rules. We have a MIPS machine with a 8259A PIC, and there is an
external timer (HPET) linked at 8259A. Since 8259A has been shutdown
too early (by syscore_shutdown()), disable_nonboot_cpus() runs without
timer interrupt, so it hangs and reboot fails. This patch call
syscore_shutdown() a little later (after disable_nonboot_cpus()) to
avoid reboot failure.
