From 673a6092ce5f5bec45619b7a7f89cfcf8bcf3c41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Don Zickus Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2011 16:18:48 -0500 Subject: x86: Convert some devices to use DIE_NMIUNKNOWN They are a handful of places in the code that register a die_notifier as a catch all in case no claims the NMI. Unfortunately, they trigger on events like DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, which depending on when they registered may collide with other handlers that have the ability to determine if the NMI is theirs or not. The function unknown_nmi_error() makes one last effort to walk the die_chain when no one else has claimed the NMI before spitting out messages that the NMI is unknown. This is a better spot for these devices to execute any code without colliding with the other handlers. The two drivers modified are only compiled on x86 arches I believe, so they shouldn't be affected by other arches that may not have DIE_NMIUNKNOWN defined.
