Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Distirbute the clear operation of mces_seen to Per-CPU rather than only monarch CPU
Date: Sun, 18 May 2014 23:05:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1400425504-8821-1-git-send-email-slaoub@gmail.com> (raw)
mces_seen is a Per-CPU variable which should only be accessed by Per-CPU as possible. So the
clear operation of mces_seen should also be lcoal to Per-CPU rather than monarch CPU.
Meanwhile, there is also a potential risk that mces_seen will not be be cleared if a timeout
occors in mce_end for monarch CPU. As a reuslt, the stale value of mces_seen will reappear
on the next mce.
Based on the above reasons, this patch distirbute the clear operation of mces_seen to Per-CPU
rather than only monarch CPU.
