attilio 2010-04-19 23:27:54 UTC FreeBSD src repository Modified files: sys/kern kern_shutdown.c Log: SVN rev 206878 on 2010-04-19 23:27:54Z by attilio Fix a deadlock in the shutdown code: When performing a smp_rendezvous() or more likely, on amd64 and i386, a smp_tlb_shootdown() the caller will end up with the smp_ipi_mtx spinlock held, busy-waiting for other CPUs to acknowledge the operation. As long as CPUs are suspended (via cpu_reset()) between the active mask read and IPI sending there can be a deadlock where the caller will wait forever for a dead CPU to acknowledge the operation. Please note that on CPU0 that is going to be someway heavier because of the spinlocks being disabled earlier than quitting the machine. Fix this bug by calling cpu_reset() with the smp_ipi_mtx held. Note that it is very likely that a saner offline/online CPUs mechanism will help heavilly in fixing similar cases as it is likely more bugs of this type may arise in the future.
