[PATCH v4 04/22] x86/mce/amd: Fix threshold limit reset

From: Yazen Ghannam
Date: Tue Jun 24 2025 - 10:24:51 EST


The MCA threshold limit must be reset after servicing the interrupt.

Currently, the restart function doesn't have an explicit check for this.
It makes some assumptions based on the current limit and what's in the
registers. These assumptions don't always hold, so the limit won't be
reset in some cases.

Make the reset condition explicit. Either an interrupt/overflow has
occurred. Or the bank is being initialized.
