[Issue] There is a scenario which efi_pstore may hang up: - cpuA grabs efivars->lock - cpuB panics and calls smp_send_stop - smp_send_stop sends IRQ to cpuA - after 1 second, cpuB gives up on cpuA and sends an NMI instead - cpuA is now in an NMI handler while still holding efivars->lock - cpuB is deadlocked This case may happen if a firmware has a bug and cpuA is stuck talking with it. [Solution] This patch changes a spin_lock to a spin_trylock in non-blocking paths. and if the spin_lock has already taken by another cpu, it returns without accessing to a firmware to avoid the deadlock.
