Subject: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc/watchdog: ensure watchdog data accesses are protected
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2021 18:27:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211026162740.16283-3-ldufour@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211026162740.16283-1-ldufour@linux.ibm.com>

The wd_smp_cpus_pending CPU mask should be accessed under the protection of
the __wd_smp_lock.

This prevents false alarm to be raised when the system is under an heavy
stress. This has been seen while doing LPM on large system with a big
workload.
