[PATCH v5 08/34] cxlflash: Fix to avoid CXL services during EEH

Matthew R. Ochs mrochs at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Fri Oct 2 01:55:26 AEST 2015


During an EEH freeze event, certain CXL services should not be
called until after the hardware reset has taken place. Doing so
can result in unnecessary failures and possibly cause other ill
effects by triggering hardware accesses. This translates to a
requirement to quiesce all threads that may potentially use CXL
runtime service during this window. In particular, multiple ioctls
make use of the CXL services when acting on contexts on behalf of
the user. Thus, it is essential to 'drain' running ioctls _before_
proceeding with handling the EEH freeze event.

Create the ability to drain ioctls by wrapping the ioctl handler
call in a read semaphore and then implementing a small routine that
obtains the write semaphore, effectively creating a wait point for
all currently executing ioctls.
