[Problem] There is a scenario which efi_pstore fails to log messages in a panic case. - CPUA holds an efi_var->lock in either efivarfs parts or efi_pstore with interrupt enabled. - CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop(). - CPUA stops with holding the lock. - CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC) but it returns without logging messages. [Patch Description] This patch disables an external interruption while holding efivars->lock as follows. In efi_pstore_write() and get_var_data(), spin_lock/spin_unlock is replaced by spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore because they may be called in an interrupt context. In other functions, they are replaced by spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq. because they are all called from a process context. By applying this patch, we can avoid the problem above with a following senario. - CPUA holds an efi_var->lock with interrupt disabled. - CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop(). - CPUA receives the IPI after releasing the lock because it is disabling interrupt while holding the lock. - CPUB waits for one sec until CPUA releases the lock. - CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC) And it can hold the lock successfully.
