commit 2fe20210fc5f5e62644678b8f927c49f2c6f42a7 upstream.
When booting with amd_iommu=off, the following WARNING message appears:
AMD-Vi: AMD IOMMU disabled on kernel command-line ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/workqueue.c:2772 flush_workqueue+0x42e/0x450 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.5.0-rc3-amd-iommu #6 Hardware name: Lenovo ThinkSystem SR655-2S/7D2WRCZ000, BIOS D8E101L-1.00 12/05/2019 RIP: 0010:flush_workqueue+0x42e/0x450 Code: ff 0f 0b e9 7a fd ff ff 4d 89 ef e9 33 fe ff ff 0f 0b e9 7f fd ff ff 0f 0b e9 bc fd ff ff 0f 0b e9 a8 fd ff ff e8 52 2c fe ff <0f> 0b 31 d2 48 c7 c6 e0 88 c5 95 48 c7 c7 d8 ad f0 95 e8 19 f5 04 Call Trace: kmem_cache_destroy+0x69/0x260 iommu_go_to_state+0x40c/0x5ab amd_iommu_prepare+0x16/0x2a irq_remapping_prepare+0x36/0x5f enable_IR_x2apic+0x21/0x172 default_setup_apic_routing+0x12/0x6f apic_intr_mode_init+0x1a1/0x1f1 x86_late_time_init+0x17/0x1c start_kernel+0x480/0x53f secondary_startup_64+0xb6/0xc0 ---[ end trace 30894107c3749449 ]--- x2apic: IRQ remapping doesn't support X2APIC mode x2apic disabled
The warning is caused by the calling of 'kmem_cache_destroy()' in free_iommu_resources(). Here is the call path:
free_iommu_resources kmem_cache_destroy flush_memcg_workqueue flush_workqueue
The root cause is that the IOMMU subsystem runs before the workqueue subsystem, which the variable 'wq_online' is still 'false'. This leads to the statement 'if (WARN_ON(!wq_online))' in flush_workqueue() is 'true'.
Since the variable 'memcg_kmem_cache_wq' is not allocated during the time, it is unnecessary to call flush_memcg_workqueue(). This prevents the WARNING message triggered by flush_workqueue().
