Subject: x86/mce: Avoid potential deadlock due to printk() in MCE context
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f29a7aff4bd60ebc3da4982f80144a4158c4c74a;p=linux-beck.git

x86/mce: Avoid potential deadlock due to printk() in MCE context

Printing in MCE context is a no-no, currently, as printk() is
not NMI-safe. If some of the notifiers on the MCE chain call do
so, we may deadlock. In order to avoid that, delay printk() to
process context where it is safe.
