From: Hidetoshi Seto Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2011 08:40:36 +0000 (-0400) Subject: x86, mce: Do not call del_timer_sync() in IRQ context X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9aaef96f61d93062556d34e15731f7d5869dd82e;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git x86, mce: Do not call del_timer_sync() in IRQ context del_timer_sync() can cause a deadlock when called in interrupt context. It is used with on_each_cpu() in some parts for sysfs files like bank*, check_interval, cmci_disabled and ignore_ce. However, use of on_each_cpu() results in calling the function passed as the argument in interrupt context. This causes a flood of nested warnings from del_timer_sync() (it runs on each CPU) caused even by a simple file access like: $ echo 300 > /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck0/check_interval Fortunately, these MCE-specific files are rarely used and AFAIK only few MCE geeks experience this warning. To remove the warning, move timer deletion outside of the interrupt context.
