It is currently possible for FIQ handlers to re-enter gic_raise_softirq()
and lock up.
gic_raise_softirq()
lock(x);
-~-> FIQ
handle_fiq()
gic_raise_softirq()
lock(x); <-- Lockup
arch/arm/ uses IPIs to implement arch_irq_work_raise(), thus this issue
renders it difficult for FIQ handlers to safely defer work to less
restrictive calling contexts.
This patch fixes the problem by converting the cpu_map_migration_lock
into a rwlock making it safe to re-enter the function.
Note that having made it safe to re-enter gic_raise_softirq() we no
longer need to mask interrupts during gic_raise_softirq() because the
b.L migration is always performed from task context.
