What happens if a system describes two GHES sources, one using an irq the other SEA? The SEA error can interrupt the irq error while its holding the above lock. I guess this is also why all the NMI code in that file is separate.

This race condition does seem valid. We are using the same acknowledgment for all our HEST table entries, so our firmware will not populate more than one entry at a time. That gets us around this race condition. Thanks, Tyler

This way round you are already safe: The CPU masks interrupts when it takes the exception, they should still be masked by the time we get in here... The other way round is a lot more fun! What happens if APEI is processing some error record that was notified via an interrupt, and then takes the Synchronous External Abort, and ends up back in this code? Masking interrupts doesn't stop the external-abort, and trying to take the ghes_ioremap_lock_irq will deadlock. What happens if we interrupt printk() holding all its locks is another thing I haven't worked out yet. > This race condition does seem valid.

Ah, so your firmware will wait for the interrupt-signalled error to be finished before it triggers the Synchronous External Abort. I think this would still be a linux bug if the firmware didn't do this. x86 could have done the same with NMI notifications, but we have all this 'if (in_nmi)' to allow interrupts-masked GHES handling to be interrupted. What do you think to re-using the 'if (in_nmi)' code for SEA? We can argue that SEA is NMI-like in that it can't be masked, and it interrupts code that had interrupts masked. It 'should' be as simple as putting 'HAVE_NMI' in arm64's Kconfig, and wrapping the atomic notifier call with nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() from linux/hardirq.h. (...famous last words...) This probably answers my printk() questions too, but I need to look into it some more.

I looked through this and it seems like re-using the NMI code should work. I'll add the use of the in_nmi code in the next patchset. Thanks, Tyler
