Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2012 15:59:31 -0400 From: Chen Gong <gong.chen@...ux.intel.com> To: tglx@...utronix.de Cc: tony.luck@...el.com, bp@...64.org, x86@...nel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Chen Gong <gong.chen@...ux.intel.com> Subject: [PATCH 2/5] x86: mce: Serialize mce injection raise_mce() fiddles with global state, but lacks any kind of serialization. Add a mutex around the raise_mce() call, so concurrent writers do not stomp on each other toes.
