Subject: [PATCH] arm64: neon: Add preemption protection for kernel_neon_busy
Date: Mon,  9 Jul 2018 20:19:43 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1531138783-21418-1-git-send-email-yandong77520@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Yandong Zhao <yandong77520@gmail.com>

Dear Dave,

The scenario for this bug is:
The A process is sched out when the CPU0 executes the function
raw_cpu_read(kernel_neon_busy) and just gets the address of
kernel_neon_busy without reading.
The B process starts running kernel_neon_begin() on CPU0, and the variable
kernel_neon_busy on CPU0 becomes true. At this time, the A process is
executed on CPU1 and the kernel_neon_busy value is CPU0 (true),so BUG_ON()!

crash64> kernel_neon_busy
PER-CPU DATA TYPE:
  bool kernel_neon_busy;
PER-CPU ADDRESSES:
  [0]: ffffffc07fee30a0
  [1]: ffffffc07fef90a0
  [2]: ffffffc07ff0f0a0
  [3]: ffffffc07ff250a0

          CPU0                                       CPU1
           |                                          |
A task have get addr ffffffc07fee30a0                 |
      and sched out                                   |
           |                                          |
B task kernel_neon_begin()                            |
	[ffffffc07fee30a0]=1                              |
           |                                          |
           |                               A task sched in and read
		   |                            [ffffffc07fee30a0]==1,so BUG_ON.
           |                                          |
B task kernel_neon_end()                              |
 [ffffffc07fee30a0]=0                                 |
           |                                          |
