[PATCH] x86/apic: Fix the issues in x2apic_disable()
Posted by Yuntao Wang 1 year, 5 months ago 
There are two issues in x2apic_disable().

The first issue is that the 'pr_warn' in 'if (x2apic_hw_locked())' will
never be executed, because when x2apic_hw_locked() evaluates to true,
x2apic_state should be X2APIC_ON_LOCKED. However, the current logic in
x2apic_disable() is that if x2apic_state is not X2APIC_ON, it returns
early, so the subsequent logic will not be executed.

Therefore, 'if (state != X2APIC_ON)' should be changed to
'if (state < X2APIC_ON)', so that when x2apic_state is X2APIC_ON_LOCKED,
the corresponding warning log can be printed.

The second issue is that the current logic of x2apic_disable() first sets
x2apic_mode and x2apic_state to 0 and X2APIC_DISABLED, respectively, and
then tries to disable x2APIC. However, when the APIC is locked in x2APIC
mode, that is, x2apic_state is X2APIC_ON_LOCKED, x2APIC cannot be disabled,
which causes the final values of the x2apic_mode/x2apic_state variables to
be inconsistent with the actual state of x2APIC.

Let's fix these issues.

There is no point in overwriting the state in case it is < ON, no?

Are you saying that we should replace 'goto out' with a return statement?

However, when x2apic_disable() is called, it's possible that x2apic_state
is X2APIC_OFF. In that case, we should set x2apic_state to X2APIC_DISABLED.

So, I think overwriting the state is necessary.

Thanks,
Yuntao

What for? It can't be enabled later on and for the rest of the system it
does not matter whether the state is OFF or DISABLED. Either case says:
X2APIC is not enabled.

x86/apic: Make x2apic_disable() work correctly

x2apic_disable() clears x2apic_state and x2apic_mode unconditionally, even
when the state is X2APIC_ON_LOCKED, which prevents the kernel to disable
it thereby creating inconsistent state.

Due to the early state check for X2APIC_ON, the code path which warns about
a locked X2APIC cannot be reached.

Test for state < X2APIC_ON instead and move the clearing of the state and
mode variables to the place which actually disables X2APIC.

[ tglx: Massaged change log. Added Fixes tag. Moved clearing so it's at the
  	right place for back ports ]
