Subject: [PATCH 2/2] smp: Make CSD lock acquisition atomic for debug mode
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 17:45:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716004539.13983-2-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <01070aaf-540c-403b-b589-5185f62eb29a@paulmck-laptop>
From: Chuyi Zhou <zhouchuyi@bytedance.com>
Commit b0473dcd4b1d ("smp: Improve smp_call_function_single()
CSD-lock diagnostics") changed smp_call_function_single() so that,
when CSD lock debugging is enabled, async !wait calls use the
destination CPU csd_data. That improves diagnostics, but it also removes
the single-writer property that made the old csd_lock() safe: multiple
CPUs can now prepare the same destination CPU CSD concurrently.
csd_lock() currently waits for CSD_FLAG_LOCK to clear and then sets the
bit with a non-atomic read-modify-write. Two senders can both see an
unlocked CSD, set the bit, overwrite the callback fields, and enqueue
the same llist node. Re-adding a node that is already the queue head can
make node->next point to itself, leaving the target CPU stuck walking
call_single_queue. Later synchronous work, such as a TLB shootdown, can
then remain queued and trigger soft-lockup warnings or panics.
Keep the single csd_lock() implementation, but when CSD lock debugging is
enabled, acquire CSD_FLAG_LOCK with try_cmpxchg_acquire(). This makes the
destination CPU CSD a real atomic lock in the only configuration where it
can be shared by multiple remote senders, while preserving the existing
non-debug fast path.
