From 40bea039593dfc7f3f9814dab844f6db43ae580b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2014 18:50:16 +0200 Subject: nohz: Restore NMI safe local irq work for local nohz kick The local nohz kick is currently used by perf which needs it to be NMI-safe. Recent commit though (7d1311b93e58ed55f3a31cc8f94c4b8fe988a2b9) changed its implementation to fire the local kick using the remote kick API. It was convenient to make the code more generic but the remote kick isn't NMI-safe. As a result: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 18062 at kernel/irq_work.c:72 irq_work_queue_on+0x11e/0x140() CPU: 3 PID: 18062 Comm: trinity-subchil Not tainted 3.16.0+ #34 0000000000000009 00000000903774d1 ffff880244e06c00 ffffffff9a7f1e37 0000000000000000 ffff880244e06c38 ffffffff9a0791dd ffff880244fce180 0000000000000003 ffff880244e06d58 ffff880244e06ef8 0000000000000000 Call Trace: [] dump_stack+0x4e/0x7a [] warn_slowpath_common+0x7d/0xa0 [] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [] irq_work_queue_on+0x11e/0x140 [] tick_nohz_full_kick_cpu+0x57/0x90 [] __perf_event_overflow+0x275/0x350 [] ? perf_event_task_disable+0xa0/0xa0 [] ? x86_perf_event_set_period+0xbf/0x150 [] perf_event_overflow+0x14/0x20 [] intel_pmu_handle_irq+0x206/0x410 [] ? arch_vtime_task_switch+0x63/0x130 [] perf_event_nmi_handler+0x2b/0x50 [] nmi_handle+0xd2/0x390 [] ? nmi_handle+0x5/0x390 [] ? lock_release+0xab/0x330 [] default_do_nmi+0x72/0x1c0 [] ? cpuacct_account_field+0xcf/0x200 [] do_nmi+0xb8/0x100 Lets fix this by restoring the use of local irq work for the nohz local kick.
