[RFC PATCH v3] pci: Concurrency issue during pci enable bridge

Show key headers only | View raw

Concurrency issue is observed during pci enable bridge called
for multiple pci devices initialization in SMP system.

Setup details:
 - SMP system with 8 ARMv8 cores running Linux kernel(4.11).
 - Two EPs are connected to PCIe RC through bridge as shown
   in the below figure.

                   [RC]
                    |
                 [BRIDGE]
                    |
               -----------
              |           |
             [EP]        [EP]

Issue description:
After PCIe enumeration completed EP driver probe function called
for both the devices from two CPUS simultaneously.
From EP probe function, pci_enable_device_mem called for both the EPs.
This function called pci_enable_bridge enable for all the bridges
recursively in the path of EP to RC.

Inside pci_enable_bridge function, at two places concurrency issue is
observed.

Place 1:
  CPU 0:
    1. Done Atomic increment dev->enable_cnt
       in pci_enable_device_flags
    2. Inside pci_enable_resources
    3. Completed pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &cmd)
    4. Ready to set PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY (0x2) in
       pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, cmd)
  CPU 1:
    1. Check pci_is_enabled in function pci_enable_bridge
       and it is true
    2. Check (!dev->is_busmaster) also true
    3. Gone into pci_set_master
    4. Completed pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &old_cmd)
    5. Ready to set PCI_COMMAND_MASTER (0x4) in
       pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, cmd)

By the time of last point for both the CPUs are read value 0 and
ready to write 2 and 4.
After last point final value in PCI_COMMAND register is 4 instead of 6.

Place 2:
  CPU 0:
    1. Done Atomic increment dev->enable_cnt in
       pci_enable_device_flags
