Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kgdb, x86: Avoid invoking kgdb_nmicallback twice per NMI
Date: Mon,  6 Oct 2008 14:14:14 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1223320455-9266-2-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1223320455-9266-1-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com>

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

Stress-testing KVM's latest NMI support with kgdbts inside an SMP guest,
I came across spurious unhandled NMIs while running the singlestep test.
Looking closer at the code path each NMI takes when KGDB is enabled, I
noticed that kgdb_nmicallback is called twice per event: One time via
DIE_NMI_IPI notification, the second time on DIE_NMI. Removing the first
invocation cures the unhandled NMIs here.
