[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH] x86: avoid wrong use of all-but-self IPI shorthand
With "nosmp" I did observe a flood of "APIC error on CPU0: 04(04), Send
accept error" log messages on an AMD system. And rightly so - nothing
excludes the use of the shorthand in send_IPI_mask() in this case. Set
"unaccounted_cpus" to "true" also when command line restrictions are the
cause.
Note that PV-shim mode is unaffected by this change, first and foremost
because "nosmp" and "maxcpus=" are ignored in this case.
Fixes: 5500d265a2a8 ("x86/smp: use APIC ALLBUT destination shorthand when
possible")

While in "nosmp" mode it's probably benign that we switch to the bigsmp
APIC driver simply because there are more than 8 physical CPUs, I
suppose that's inefficient when "maxcpus=" with a value between 2 and 8
(inclusive) is in use. Question is whether that's worthwhile to find a
solution for.
