Subject: NMI handling rework
Date: Thu, 07 Nov 2002 00:44:28 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3DCA0BCC.3080203@mvista.com> (raw)

Ingo et al...

Since a lot of things have started tying into the NMI handler (oprofile, 
nmi watchdog, memory errors, bus error, now the IPMI watchdog), I think 
it better to use a request/release mechanism for the NMI handlers. 
 Plus, I think the current NMI code is actually not correct, it's 
theoretically possible to miss NMIs if two occur at the same time.  So 
I'm proposing the patch at 
http://home.attbi.com/~minyard/linux-nmi-v8.diff, relative to current 
2.5.  This has been posted on lkml, and reviewed by John Levon and others.

Thanks,

-Corey
