      device-dax: switch to srcu, fix rcu_read_lock() vs pte allocation · c36eaa6c
      Dan Williams authored
      commit 956a4cd2 upstream.
      
      The following warning triggers with a new unit test that stresses the
      device-dax interface.

      Inserting a page table entry may trigger an allocation while we are
      holding a read lock to keep the device instance alive for the duration
      of the fault. Use srcu for this keep-alive protection.

      x86/mce: Make the MCE notifier a blocking one · f8bc0881
      Vishal Verma authored
      commit 0dc9c639 upstream.
      
      The NFIT MCE handler callback (for handling media errors on NVDIMMs)
      takes a mutex to add the location of a memory error to a list. But since
      the notifier call chain for machine checks (x86_mce_decoder_chain) is
      atomic, we get a lockdep splat like:
      
        BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:620
        in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 4, name: kworker/0:0
        [..]
        Call Trace:
         dump_stack
         ___might_sleep
         __might_sleep
         mutex_lock_nested
         ? __lock_acquire
         nfit_handle_mce
         notifier_call_chain
         atomic_notifier_call_chain
         ? atomic_notifier_call_chain
         mce_gen_pool_process
      
      Convert the notifier to a blocking one which gets to run only in process
      context.
      
      Boris: remove the notifier call in atomic context in print_mce(). For
      now, let's print the MCE on the atomic path so that we can make sure
      they go out and get logged at least.
