[Xen-devel] [040/111] xen: Do not suspend IPI IRQs.

[Greg KH <gregkh@xxxxxxx>]

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4877c737283813bdb4bebfa3168c1585f6e3a8ca upstream.

In general the semantics of IPIs are that they are are expected to
continue functioning after dpm_suspend_noirq().

Specifically I have seen a deadlock between the callfunc IPI and the
stop machine used by xen's do_suspend() routine. If one CPU has already
called dpm_suspend_noirq() then there is a window where it can be sent
a callfunc IPI before all the other CPUs have entered stop_cpu().

If this happens then the first CPU ends up spinning in stop_cpu()
waiting for the other to rendezvous in state STOPMACHINE_PREPARE while
the other is spinning in csd_lock_wait().
