kernel-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.src.rpm

Subject: [x86_64] 'ide0=noprobe' crashes the kernel
Message-id: 46D43C41.8050807@redhat.com
O-Subject: [RHEL5.2 PATCH] "ide0=noprobe" crashes the kernel early
Bugzilla: 241338

BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241338

Description: x86_64 kernel crashes early during boot when "ide0=noprobe"
parameter is passed on the command line.
The crash is caused by ide_setup() enabling interrupts inadvertently:

ide_setup()
  init_ide_data()
    init_hwif_default()
      ide_default_io_base()
	pci_find_device()

pci_find_device() uses a rwsem. Unlike i386, x86_64 uses
GENERIC_RWSEM_SPINLOCK implementation which enables interrupts.
The bug was spotted and analyzed by Gerd Hoffmann on a Xen HVM machine.

Solution: IDE just needs to know whether there are any PCI devices in
the system. The patch introduces a new function no_pci_devices() to
provide the answer. This avoids the call to pci_find_device().

Upstream status: The patch is upstream since commit
ed4aaadb1a7913f509f05d3e67840541a180713f ('fix jvc cdrom drive lockup'),
released in 2.6.23-rc1.

KABI impact: This adds a new exported function
int no_pci_devices(void);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(no_pci_devices);

Testing: Gerd Hoffmann confirmed a kernel with this patch fixed the bug.

Thanks,
Michal
