There is no\nprotection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the\nchain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:\n\n http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l\u003dlinux-kernel\u0026m\u003d113018709002036\u0026w\u003d2\n\nWe noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage\nclasses:\n\n\t\"Blocking\" chains are always called from a process context\n\tand the callout routines are allowed to sleep;\n\n\t\"Atomic\" chains can be called from an atomic context and\n\tthe callout routines are not allowed to sleep.\n\nWe decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore\nthis set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking\nnotifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for \"raw\" notifiers (which is\nreally just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are\nused for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for\nregistration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are\nexplained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in\nkernel/sys.c.\n\nWith atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain\nlinks will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by\nentries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no\nguarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The\nidea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and\nblocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to\nhandle these things in their own way.)\n\nThere are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For\natomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in\na process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a\ncallout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister\nentries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code\nhad to be changed to avoid it.)\n\nSince atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use\nspinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost\nentirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much\nless frequent that calling a chain.\n\nHere is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None\nof them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.\n\n ATOMIC CHAINS\n -------------\narch/i386/kernel/traps.c:\t\ti386die_chain\narch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tia64die_chain\narch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:\t\tpowerpc_die_chain\narch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tsparc64die_chain\narch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tdie_chain\ndrivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:\txaction_notifier_list\nkernel/panic.c:\t\t\t\tpanic_notifier_list\nkernel/profile.c:\t\t\ttask_free_notifier\nnet/bluetooth/hci_core.c:\t\thci_notifier\nnet/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:\tip_conntrack_chain\nnet/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:\tip_conntrack_expect_chain\nnet/ipv6/addrconf.c:\t\t\tinet6addr_chain\nnet/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:\tnf_conntrack_chain\nnet/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:\tnf_conntrack_expect_chain\nnet/netlink/af_netlink.c:\t\tnetlink_chain\n\n BLOCKING CHAINS\n ---------------\narch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:\tpSeries_reconfig_chain\narch/s390/kernel/process.c:\t\tidle_chain\narch/x86_64/kernel/process.c\t\tidle_notifier\ndrivers/base/memory.c:\t\t\tmemory_chain\ndrivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c\t\tcpufreq_policy_notifier_list\ndrivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c\t\tcpufreq_transition_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/adb.c:\t\tadb_client_list\ndrivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c\t\tsleep_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c\t\tsleep_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c\twf_client_list\ndrivers/usb/core/notify.c\t\tusb_notifier_list\ndrivers/video/fbmem.c\t\t\tfb_notifier_list\nkernel/cpu.c\t\t\t\tcpu_chain\nkernel/module.c\t\t\t\tmodule_notify_list\nkernel/profile.c\t\t\tmunmap_notifier\nkernel/profile.c\t\t\ttask_exit_notifier\nkernel/sys.c\t\t\t\treboot_notifier_list\nnet/core/dev.c\t\t\t\tnetdev_chain\nnet/decnet/dn_dev.c:\t\t\tdnaddr_chain\nnet/ipv4/devinet.c:\t\t\tinetaddr_chain\n\nIt\u0027s possible that some of these classifications are wrong.

If they get delayed for more than 10 seconds then a\ncallback from the timer interrupt detects this condition and prints out a\nwarning message and a stack dump (once per lockup incident). The feature\nis otherwise non-intrusive, it doesnt try to unlock the box in any way, it\nonly gets the debug info out, automatically, and on all CPUs affected by\nthe lockup.\n\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan \u003cnacc@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-Off-By: Matthias Urlichs \u003csmurf@smurf.noris.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Richard Purdie \u003crpurdie@rpsys.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" } ] }
