Linu Cherian reported a WARN in cleanup_srcu_struct() when shutting
down a guest running iperf on a VFIO assigned device. This happens
because irqfd_wakeup() calls srcu_read_lock(&kvm->irq_srcu) in interrupt
context, while a worker thread does the same inside kvm_set_irq(). If the
interrupt happens while the worker thread is executing __srcu_read_lock(),
updates to the Classic SRCU ->lock_count[] field or the Tree SRCU
->srcu_lock_count[] field can be lost.
The docs say you are not supposed to call srcu_read_lock() and
srcu_read_unlock() from irq context, but KVM interrupt injection happens
from (host) interrupt context and it would be nice if SRCU supported the
use case. KVM is using SRCU here not really for the "sleepable" part,
but rather due to its IPI-free fast detection of grace periods. It is
therefore not desirable to switch back to RCU, which would effectively
revert commit 719d93cd5f ("kvm/irqchip: Speed up KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING",
2014-01-16).
However, the docs are overly conservative. You can have an SRCU instance
only has users in irq context, and you can mix process and irq context
as long as process context users disable interrupts. In addition,
__srcu_read_unlock() actually uses this_cpu_dec() on both Tree SRCU and
Classic SRCU. For those two implementations, only srcu_read_lock()
is unsafe.
When Classic SRCU's __srcu_read_unlock() was changed to use this_cpu_dec(),
in commit 5a41344a3d ("srcu: Simplify __srcu_read_unlock() via
this_cpu_dec()", 2012-11-29), __srcu_read_lock() did two increments.
Therefore it kept __this_cpu_inc(), with preempt_disable/enable in
the caller. Tree SRCU however only does one increment, so on most
architectures it is more efficient for __srcu_read_lock() to use
this_cpu_inc(), and any performance differences appear to be down in
the noise.

Unlike Classic and Tree SRCU, Tiny SRCU does increments and decrements on
a single variable. Therefore, as Peter Zijlstra pointed out, Tiny SRCU's
implementation already supports mixed-context use of srcu_read_lock()
and srcu_read_unlock(), at least as long as uses of srcu_read_lock()
and srcu_read_unlock() in each handler are nested and paired properly.
In other words, it is still illegal to (say) invoke srcu_read_lock()
in an interrupt handler and to invoke the matching srcu_read_unlock()
in a softirq handler. Therefore, the only change required for Tiny SRCU
is to its comments.

This reverts commit cf39bf58af.
The commit regression to users that define both console=ttyS1
and console=ttyS0 on the command line, see
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170509082915.GA13236@bistromath.localdomain
The kernel log messages always appeared only on one serial port. It is
even documented in Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst:
"Note that you can only define one console per device type (serial,
video)."
The above mentioned commit changed the order in which the command line
parameters are searched. As a result, the kernel log messages go to
the last mentioned ttyS* instead of the first one.
We long thought that using two console=ttyS* on the command line
did not make sense. But then we realized that console= parameters
were handled also by systemd, see
http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html
"By default systemd will instantiate one serial-getty@.service on
the main kernel console, if it is not a virtual terminal."
where
"[4] If multiple kernel consoles are used simultaneously, the main
console is the one listed first in /sys/class/tty/console/active,
which is the last one listed on the kernel command line."
This puts the original report into another light. The system is running
in qemu. The first serial port is used to store the messages into a file.
The second one is used to login to the system via a socket. It depends
on systemd and the historic kernel behavior.
By other words, systemd causes that it makes sense to define both
console=ttyS1 console=ttyS0 on the command line. The kernel fix
caused regression related to userspace (systemd) and need to be
reverted.
In addition, it went out that the fix helped only partially.
The messages still were duplicated when the boot console was
removed early by late_initcall(printk_late_init). Then the entire
log was replayed when the same console was registered as a normal one.

Revert commit eed4d47efe (ACPI / sleep: Ignore spurious SCI wakeups
from suspend-to-idle) as it turned out to be premature and triggered
a number of different issues on various systems.
That includes, but is not limited to, premature suspend-to-RAM aborts
on Dell XPS 13 (9343) reported by Dominik.
The issue the commit in question attempted to address is real and
will need to be taken care of going forward, but evidently more work
is needed for this purpose.
