Hi Ingo,
Thank you for fixing typos!
OK, I'll fix them and rename to ioapic_zap_locks().
Thank you again!

Prevent crash_kexec() from deadlocking of ioapic_lock.
s/of/on
When crash_kexec() is executed on a cpu, the cpu will get
ioapic_lock in disable_IO_APIC(). So if the cpu gets NMI
while locking ioapic_lock, a deadlock wiil happen. In
s/will
this patch, ioapic_lock is initialized before
disable_IO_APIC().
To confirm this deadlocking, you'll set up as follows:
s/deadlocking/deadlock
1. Add mdelay(1000) after raw_spin_lock_irqsave() in
native_ioapic_set_affinity()@arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c
Although the deadlocking can occur without this modification, it will
increase the potential of the deadlocking problem.
s/deadlocking/deadlock
2. Build and install the kernel
3. Set up the OS which will run panic() and kexec when NMI is injected
# echo "kernel.unknown_nmi_panic=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
# vim /etc/default/grub
add "nmi_watchdog=0 crashkernel=256M" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line
# grub2-mkconfig
4. Reboot the OS
5. Run following command for each vcpu on the guest
# while true; do echo <CPU num> > /proc/irq/<IO-APIC-edge or
IO-APIC-fasteoi>/smp_affinitity; done;
By running this command, cpus will get ioapic_lock for setting affinity.
6. Inject NMI (push a dump button or execute 'virsh inject-nmi <domain>' if you
use VM)
After injecting NMI, panic() is called in an nmi-handler context.
Then, kexec will normally run in panic(), but the operation will be stopped
by deadlock of ioapic_lock in crash_kexec()->machine_crash_shutdown()->
s/of/on
native_machine_crash_shutdown()->disable_IO_APIC()->clear_IO_APIC()->
clear_IO_APIC_pin()->ioapic_read_entry().
I suppose we could do this patch if it's a common
occurance.
A few minor details need fixing:
