Subject: [PATCH v4 06/12] smp: Enable preemption early in smp_call_function_many_cond
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 19:30:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331113103.2197007-7-zhouchuyi@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260331113103.2197007-1-zhouchuyi@bytedance.com>

Disabling preemption entirely during smp_call_function_many_cond() was
primarily for the following reasons:

- To prevent the remote online CPU from going offline. Specifically, we
want to ensure that no new csds are queued after smpcfd_dying_cpu() has
finished. Therefore, preemption must be disabled until all necessary IPIs
are sent.

- To prevent current CPU from going offline. Being migrated to another CPU
and calling csd_lock_wait() may cause UAF due to smpcfd_dead_cpu() during
the current CPU offline process.

- To protect the per-cpu cfd_data from concurrent modification by other
tasks on the current CPU. cfd_data contains cpumasks and per-cpu csds.
Before enqueueing a csd, we block on the csd_lock() to ensure the
previous async csd->func() has completed, and then initialize csd->func and
csd->info. After sending the IPI, we spin-wait for the remote CPU to call
csd_unlock(). Actually the csd_lock mechanism already guarantees csd
serialization. If preemption occurs during csd_lock_wait, other concurrent
smp_call_function_many_cond calls will simply block until the previous
csd->func() completes:

task A                    task B

sd->func = fun_a
send ipis

                preempted by B
               --------------->
                        csd_lock(csd); // block until last
                                       // fun_a finished

                        csd->func = func_b;
                        csd->info = info;
                            ...
                        send ipis

                switch back to A
                <---------------

csd_lock_wait(csd); // block until remote finish func_*

Previous patches replaced the per-cpu cfd->cpumask with task-local cpumask,
and the percpu csd is allocated only once and is never freed to ensure
we can safely access csd. Now we can enable preemption before
csd_lock_wait() which makes the potentially unpredictable csd_lock_wait()
preemptible and migratable.
