Before this patch we would patch all of the pv_lock_ops sites using alternative assembler. Then later in the bootup cycle change the unlock_kick and lock_spinning to the Xen specific - without re patching. That meant that for the core of the kernel we would be running with the baremetal version of unlock_kick and lock_spinning while for modules we would have the proper Xen specific slowpaths. As most of the module uses some API from the core kernel that ended up with slowpath lockers waiting forever to be kicked (b/c they would be using the Xen specific slowpath logic). And the kick never came b/c the unlock path that was taken was the baremetal one. On PV we do not have the problem as we initialise before the alternative code kicks in. The fix is to make the updating of the pv_lock_ops function be done before the alternative code starts patching. Note that this patch fixes issues discovered by commit |
