Subject: [GIT pull] ras fix for 4.11
Date: Sun, 23 Apr 2017 13:55:40 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.20.1704231346130.2399@nanos> (raw)

Linus,

please pull the latest ras-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git ras-urgent-for-linus

The MCE atomic notifier callchain invokes callbacks which might
sleep. Convert it to a blocking notifier and prevent calls from atomic
context.

Thanks,

	tglx
