> machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() calls irq_set_irqchip_state() for every
> started interrupt. That function takes the bus lock of the chip and
> desc->lock, and syncs the chip when it drops them. On the crash path
> interrupts are off and the other CPUs are stopped, so a chip whose bus
> transfer is completed by an interrupt never returns from the sync.

> On RK3399 boards with an RK808 PMIC the RTC alarm interrupt belongs to
> the regmap-irq chip of the RK808, which sits on I2C. rk808_irq_chip sets
> init_ack_masked, so regmap_irq_sync_unlock() writes the ack register on
> every unlock, and the I2C controller needs its own interrupt to finish
> the transfer. A panic with a crash kernel loaded prints
>
> SMP: stopping secondary CPUs
>
> and then nothing until the watchdog resets the board.

> machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() takes neither lock for the other
> operations on the descriptor. Move the search for the chip that
> implements irq_set_irqchip_state() into __irq_set_irqchip_state(), which
> takes no locks, and call it from machine_kexec_mask_interrupts().
