From a89b91fcb07c09703a82e09c759e5307a84bd297 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Hildenbrand Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2020 15:53:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/powernv/memtrace: Fix crashing the kernel when enabling concurrently commit d6718941a2767fb383e105d257d2105fe4f15f0e upstream. It's very easy to crash the kernel right now by simply trying to enable memtrace concurrently, hammering on the "enable" interface loop.sh: #!/bin/bash dmesg --console-off while true; do echo 0x40000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable done [root@localhost ~]# loop.sh & [root@localhost ~]# loop.sh & Resulting quickly in a kernel crash. Let's properly protect using a mutex.
