Subject: x86/mce: suspicious RCU usage in 4.13.4
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2017 15:00:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9840bf0d-6756-75eb-1a2d-d3aace235244@redhat.com> (raw)

Hello,

A Fedora user has reported an issue about suspicious RCU usage in
dev-mcelog. It looks like perhaps the notifier call chain is not
acquiring the mce_chrdev_read_mutex? The traceback is

[36915.633804] =============================
[36915.633805] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
