[Dle-develop] [RFC][PATCH v3 1/3] efivars: Disable external interrupt while holding efivars->lock
|
From: Seiji A. <sei...@hd...> - 2012-08-21 16:53:48

[Problem]
Currently, efivars doesn't disable interrupt while taking efivars->lock.
So, there is a risk to be deadlocking in a write callback of efi_pstore
if kernel panics in interrupt context while taking efivars->lock.
[Patch Description]
This patch disables an external interruption while holding efivars->lock as follows
- In efi_pstore_open()/efi_pstore_close(), replace spin_lock/spin_unlock with spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq
because they are called in a process context when users access to /dev/pstore.
- In unregister_efivars(), replace them with spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq
because they are called in a process context when unloading this module.
- Also, in efivar_create()/efivar_store_raw()/efivar_delete(), replace them with spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq
because they are called in a process context when users access to /sys/firmware/efi/vars/{new_var|del_var}.
- In other function calls, replace spin_lock/spin_unlock them with spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore.
