Although mmiowb() is concerned only with serialising MMIO writes occuring in contexts where a spinlock is held, the call to mmiowb_set_pending() from the MMIO write accessors can occur in preemptible contexts, such as during driver probe() functions where ordering between CPUs is not usually a concern, assuming that the task migration path provides the necessary ordering guarantees. Unfortunately, the default implementation of mmiowb_set_pending() is not preempt-safe, as it makes use of a a per-cpu variable to track its internal state. This has been reported to generate the following splat on riscv: | BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1 | caller is regmap_mmio_write32le+0x1c/0x46 | CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.8.0-rc3-hfu+ #1 | Call Trace: | walk_stackframe+0x0/0x7a | dump_stack+0x6e/0x88 | regmap_mmio_write32le+0x18/0x46 | check_preemption_disabled+0xa4/0xaa | regmap_mmio_write32le+0x18/0x46 | regmap_mmio_write+0x26/0x44 | regmap_write+0x28/0x48 | sifive_gpio_probe+0xc0/0x1da Although it's possible to fix the driver in this case, other splats have been seen from other drivers, including the infamous 8250 UART, and so it's better to address this problem in the mmiowb core itself. Fix mmiowb_set_pending() by using the raw_cpu_ptr() to get at the mmiowb state and then only updating the 'mmiowb_pending' field if we are not preemptible (i.e. we have a non-zero nesting count).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
