Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Handle broadcasted MCE gracefully with kexec
Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2017 10:50:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170313095019.19351-1-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
From: Xunlei Pang <xlpang@redhat.com>
When we are about to kexec a crash kernel and right then and there a
broadcasted MCE fires while we're still in the first kernel and while
the other CPUs remain in a holding pattern, the #MC handler of the
first kernel will timeout and then panic due to never completing MCE
synchronization.
Handle this in a similar way as to when the CPUs are offlined when that
broadcasted MCE happens.
