Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Fix NMI IPI timeouts
Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2018 12:01:04 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181126020107.17250-1-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
The first two patches fix timeouts and deadlocks using NMI IPIs.
The xmon deadlock fails with a timeout so it wasn't really noticed.
The infinite timeout only hits when the system is in really bad shape
or the sreset handler is broken somehow (e.g., running a guest and no
KVM test in the handler).
Patch 1 is a necessary fix. Patch 2 is a bigger change, we could live
without it because the sender will eventually time out and break the
deadlock.
Thanks,
Nick
