[PATCH] x86/MCE/AMD: Fix thinko about thresholding_en
From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Sat Nov 19 2016 - 05:34:34 EST
From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>
So adding thresholding_en et al was a good thing for removing the
per-CPU thresholding callback, i.e., threshold_cpu_callback.
But, in order for it to work and especially that test in
mce_threshold_create_device() so that all thresholding banks get
properly created and not the whole thing to fail with a NULL ptr
dereference at mce_cpu_pre_down() when we offline the CPUs, we need to
set the thresholding_en flag *before* we start creating the devices.
Yap, it failed because thresholding_en wasn't set at the time
we were creating the banks so we didn't create any and then at
mce_cpu_pre_down() -> mce_threshold_remove_device() time, we would blow
up.
And the fix is actually easy: we have thresholding on the system when we
have managed to set the thresholding vector to amd_threshold_interrupt()
earlier in mce_amd_feature_init() while we were picking apart the
thresholding banks and what is set and what not.
So let's do that.
