Subject: [PATCH -tip] x86, mce: CE in last bank prevents panic by unknown MCE
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:20:36 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A94E244.3020301@jp.fujitsu.com> (raw)
[based on tip/x86/mce]
If MCE handler is called but none of mces_seen have machine check event
which might signal the MCE (i.e. event higher than MCE_KEEP_SEVERITY),
panic with "Machine check from unknown source" will be taken since the
MCE is assumed to be signaled from external agent or so.
Usually mces_seen never point MCE_KEEP_SEVERITY event such as CE.
But it can happen because initial value of mces_seen is accidentally
modified by mce_no_way_out() - in case if mce_no_way_out() run through
all banks and the last bank has the CE, mces_seen points the CE and
the "panic by unknown" will not be taken.
This patch fix this undesired behavior, and clarify the logic.
