If kdump is enabled, the handling of shooting down CPUs does not use the
RESET_VECTOR irq before trying to use NMIs to shoot down the CPUs.
For normal errors that is fine. MCEs, however, are already running in
an NMI, so sending them an NMI won't do anything. The MCE code is set
up to receive the RESET_VECTOR because it disables CPUs, but it won't
^ should be "enables irqs"
work on the NMI-only case.
There is already code in place to scan for the NMI callback being ready,
simply call that from the MCE's wait_for_panic() code so it will pick up
and handle it if an NMI shootdown is requested. This required
propagating the registers down to wait_for_panic().

After looking at it a bit, I think this is the proper way to fix the
issue, though I'm not an expert on this code so I'm not sure.
I have not even tested this patch, I have only compiled it. But from
what I can tell, things waiting in NMIs for a shootdown should call
run_crash_ipi_callback() in their wait loop.
Hi,
In my VM (using qemu-kvm), Kump is enabled, used mce-inject injects an
uncorrectable error. I has an issue with the IPMI driver's panic
handling running while the other CPUs are sitting in "wait_for_panic()"
with interrupt on, and IPMI interrupts interfering with the panic
handling, As a result, IPMI panic hangs for more than 3000 seconds.
After I has patched and tested this patch, the problem of IPMI hangs has
disappeared. It should be a solution to the problem.
Thanks,
Wu Bo
