ACPI / SMBus: Fix boot stalls / high CPU caused by reentrant code
In the SBS initialisation, a reentrant call to wait_event_timeout()
causes an intermittent boot stall of several minutes usually following
the "Switching to clocksource tsc" message. Another symptom of this bug
is high CPU usage from programs (Firefox, upowerd) querying the battery
state. This is caused by:
1. drivers/acpi/sbshc.c wait_transaction_complete() calls
wait_event_timeout():
if (wait_event_timeout(hc->wait, smb_check_done(hc),
msecs_to_jiffies(timeout)))
2. ___wait_event sets task state to uninterruptible
3. ___wait_event calls the "condition" smb_check_done()
4. smb_check_done (sbshc.c) calls through to ec_read() in
drivers/acpi/ec.c
5. ec_guard() is reached which calls wait_event_timeout()
if (wait_event_timeout(ec->wait,
ec_transaction_completed(ec),
guard))
ie. wait_event_timeout() is being called again inside evaluation of
the previous wait_event_timeout() condition
5. The EC IRQ handler calls wake_up() and wakes up the sleeping task in
ec_guard()
6. The task is now in state running even though the wait "condition" is
still being evaluated
7. The "condition" check returns false so ___wait_event calls
schedule_timeout()
8. Since the task state is running, the scheduler immediately schedules
it again
9. This loop usually repeats for around 250 seconds even though the
original wait_event_timeout was only 1000ms.
The timeout is incorrect because each call to schedule_timeout()
usually returns immediately, taking less than 1ms, so the jiffies
timeout counter is not decremented. The task is now stuck in a
running state, and so is highly likely to be immediately
rescheduled, which takes less than a jiffy. The loop will never exit
if all schedule_timeout() calls take less than a jiffy.
Fix this by replacing SMBus reads in the wait_event_timeout condition
with checks of a boolean value that is updated by the EC query handler.
