While attempting to debug a CT deadlock issue in various CI failures (most easily reproduced with gem_ctx_create/basic-files), I was seeing CPU deadlock errors being reported. This were because the context destroy loop was blocking waiting on H2G space from inside an IRQ spinlock. There no was deadlock as such, it's just that the H2G queue was full of context destroy commands and GuC was taking a long time to process them. However, the kernel was seeing the large amount of time spent inside the IRQ lock as a dead CPU. Various Bad Things(tm) would then happen (heartbeat failures, CT deadlock errors, outstanding H2G WARNs, etc.). Re-working the loop to only acquire the spinlock around the list management (which is all it is meant to protect) rather than the entire destroy operation seems to fix all the above issues. v2: (John Harrison) - Fix typo in comment message Signed-off-by: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison@Intel.com> Signed-off-by: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20211214170500.28569-5-matthew.brost@intel.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
