| |
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit 98cff8b23ed1c763a029ee81ea300df0d153d07d ]
In __ghes_panic() clear the block status in the APEI generic error status block for that generic hardware error source before calling panic() to prevent a second panic() in the crash kernel for exactly the same fatal error.
Otherwise ghes_probe(), running in the crash kernel, would see an unhandled error in the APEI generic error status block and panic again, thereby precluding any crash dump.
