Subject: [PATCH 3.4 143/214] efivars: Disable external interrupt while holding efivars->lock
3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@...hat.com>
commit 81fa4e581d9283f7992a0d8c534bb141eb840a14 upstream.
[Problem]
There is a scenario which efi_pstore fails to log messages in a panic case.
- CPUA holds an efi_var->lock in either efivarfs parts
or efi_pstore with interrupt enabled.
- CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop().
- CPUA stops with holding the lock.
- CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC)
but it returns without logging messages.
[Patch Description]
This patch disables an external interruption while holding efivars->lock
as follows.
In efi_pstore_write() and get_var_data(), spin_lock/spin_unlock is
replaced by spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore because they may
be called in an interrupt context.
In other functions, they are replaced by spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq.
because they are all called from a process context.
By applying this patch, we can avoid the problem above with
a following senario.
- CPUA holds an efi_var->lock with interrupt disabled.
- CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop().
- CPUA receives the IPI after releasing the lock because it is
disabling interrupt while holding the lock.
- CPUB waits for one sec until CPUA releases the lock.
- CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC)
And it can hold the lock successfully.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
- Drop efivarfs changes
- Adjust context
- Drop change to efi_pstore_erase(), which is implemented using
efi_pstore_write() here]
