This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled xen/time: Fix kasprintf splat when allocating timer%d IRQ to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From e1557b7cf8f08121f7df3da00b040e18be042ad2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2013 15:18:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] xen/time: Fix kasprintf splat when allocating timer%d IRQ line. commit 7918c92ae9638eb8a6ec18e2b4a0de84557cccc8 upstream. When we online the CPU, we get this splat: smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x2 installing Xen timer for CPU 1 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /home/konrad/ssd/konrad/linux/mm/slab.c:3179 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/1 Pid: 0, comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 3.9.0-rc6upstream-00001-g3884fad #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810c1fea>] __might_sleep+0xda/0x100 [<ffffffff81194617>] __kmalloc_track_caller+0x1e7/0x2c0 [<ffffffff81303758>] ? kasprintf+0x38/0x40 [<ffffffff813036eb>] kvasprintf+0x5b/0x90 [<ffffffff81303758>] kasprintf+0x38/0x40 [<ffffffff81044510>] xen_setup_timer+0x30/0xb0 [<ffffffff810445af>] xen_hvm_setup_cpu_clockevents+0x1f/0x30 [<ffffffff81666d0a>] start_secondary+0x19c/0x1a8 The solution to that is use kasprintf in the CPU hotplug path that 'online's the CPU. That is, do it in in xen_hvm_cpu_notify, and remove the call to in xen_hvm_setup_cpu_clockevents. Unfortunatly the later is not a good idea as the bootup path does not use xen_hvm_cpu_notify so we would end up never allocating timer%d interrupt lines when booting. As such add the check for atomic() to continue.
