Subject: [UNTESTED PATCH] x86, mce: Avoid double entry of deferred errors into the genpool.
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2015 14:01:51 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3165a4989dcb45fc0306438d40d0cf2ace429c4c.1447280215.git.tony.luck@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20151111193845.GA9055@agluck-desk.sc.intel.com>
We used to have a special ring buffer for deferred errors that
was used to mark problem pages. We replaced that with a genpool.
Then later converted mce_log() to also use the same genpool. As
a result we end up adding all deferred errors to the genpool twice.
Rearrange this code. Make sure to set the m.severity and m.usable_addr
fields for deferred errors. Then if flags and mca_cfg.dont_log_ce mean
we call mce_log() we are done, because that will add this entry to the
genpool.
If we skipped mce_log(), then we still want to take action for the
deferred error, so add to the genpool.
Changed the name of the boolean "error_logged" to "error_seen", we
should set it whether of not we logged an error because the return
value from machine_check_poll() is used to decide whether storms
have subsided or not.
