These functions contend for # mmio_atsd_usage, an unsigned long used as a bitmask. # # The accesses to mmio_atsd_usage are done using test_and_set_bit_lock() # and clear_bit_unlock(). As implemented, both of these will require # a (successful) stwcx to that same cache line. # # What we end up with is thread A, attempting to unlock, being slowed by # other threads repeatedly attempting to lock. A's stwcx instructions # fail and retry because the memory reservation is lost every time a # different thread beats it to the punch. # # There may be a long-term way to fix this at a larger scale, but for # now resolve the immediate problem by gating our call to # test_and_set_bit_lock() with one to test_bit(), which is obviously # implemented without using a store. # # Fixes: 1ab66d1fbada ("powerpc/powernv: Introduce address translation services for Nvlink2") # Signed-off-by: Reza Arbab <arbab@linux.ibm.com> # Acked-by: Alistair Popple <alistair@popple.id.au> # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64le-linux/bin/powerpc64le-linux-gcc --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 a6fcdbf95d7907bc5d5a669adb86e6bda72d738b # < make -s -j 10 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-next_powernv_defconfig+STRICT_RWX_ppc64le CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64le-linux/bin/powerpc64le-linux- powernv_defconfig # Added to kconfig CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n # Added to kconfig CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX=y # yes \n \| make -s -j 10 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-next_powernv_defconfig+STRICT_RWX_ppc64le CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64le-linux/bin/powerpc64le-linux- oldconfig yes: standard output: Broken pipe yes: write error # make -s -j 10 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-next_powernv_defconfig+STRICT_RWX_ppc64le CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64le-linux/bin/powerpc64le-linux- /kisskb/src/net/Makefile:24: CC cannot link executables.
