[PATCH 4.14 133/159] powerpc/watchdog: Do not trigger SMP crash from touch_nmi_watchdog

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 22 2017 - 04:21:26 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 80e4d70b06863e0104e5a0dc78aa3710297fbd4b ]

In xmon, touch_nmi_watchdog() is not expected to be checking that
other CPUs have not touched the watchdog, so the code will just call
touch_nmi_watchdog() once before re-enabling hard interrupts.

Just update our CPU's state, and ignore apparently stuck SMP threads.

Arguably touch_nmi_watchdog should check for SMP lockups, and callers
should be fixed, but that's not trivial for the input code of xmon.
