From b73d40c6178f2c8b2d574db566b47f36e3d12072 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2006 18:40:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] s390: instruction processing damage handling In case of an instruction processing damage (IPD) machine check in kernel mode the resulting action is always to stop the kernel. This is not necessarily the best solution since a retry of the failing instruction might succeed. Add logic to retry the instruction if no more than 30 instruction processing damage checks occured in the last 5 minutes.
