Subject: [GIT PULL] EDAC fixes for 3.14
Hi Linus,
please pull the below tag to receive fixes for setting the EDAC core
polling timeout through sysfs.
You're surely wondering why the patches are not based on an rc. Well,
Andrew sent you 79040cad3f82 ("drivers/edac/edac_mc_sysfs.c: poll
timeout cannot be zero sent you") already (it got in in -rc2) but it is
not enough as a fix because for one, setting too low polling intervals
(< 1sec) don't make any sense and cause unnecessary polling load on the
system.
Then, even if we set some interval, we explode with
[ 4143.094342] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/workqueue.c:1393 __queue_work+0x1d7/0x340()
because the workqueue setup path is used also for the timeout period
resetting and we're doing INIT_DELAYED_WORK() on an already active
workqueue. Which is total bollocks. So this is taken care of by the
second patch, whole diff below.
I've CCed stable for those two.
@Greg: Greg, can you please take 79040cad3f82 before you apply those two
below?
Thanks!
