[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/pseries/mobility: handle premature return from H_JOIN

Mon Mar 15 19:00:45 AEDT 2021


The pseries join/suspend sequence in its current form was written with
the assumption that it was the only user of H_PROD and that it needn't
handle spurious successful returns from H_JOIN. That's wrong;
powerpc's paravirt spinlock code uses H_PROD, and CPUs entering
do_join() can be woken prematurely from H_JOIN with a status of
H_SUCCESS as a result. This causes all CPUs to exit the sequence
early, preventing suspend from occurring at all.

Add a 'done' boolean flag to the pseries_suspend_info struct, and have
the waking thread set it before waking the other threads. Threads
which receive H_SUCCESS from H_JOIN retry if the 'done' flag is still
unset.
