Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Fix idle VS timer enqueue
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2025 11:50:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250214105047.150835-2-marco.crivellari@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250214105047.150835-1-marco.crivellari@suse.com>
MIPS re-enables interrupts on its idle routine and performs
a TIF_NEED_RESCHED check afterwards before putting the CPU to sleep.
The IRQs firing between the check and the 'wait' instruction may set the
TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag. In order to deal with this possible race, IRQs
interrupting __r4k_wait() rollback their return address to the
beginning of __r4k_wait() so that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is checked
again before going back to sleep.
However idle IRQs can also queue timers that may require a tick
reprogramming through a new generic idle loop iteration but those timers
would go unnoticed here because __r4k_wait() only checks
TIF_NEED_RESCHED. It doesn't check for pending timers.
Fix this with fast-forwarding idle IRQs return address to the end of the
idle routine instead of the beginning, so that the generic idle loop
handles both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and pending timers.
