From 98cff8b23ed1c763a029ee81ea300df0d153d07d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lenny Szubowicz Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2018 11:50:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ACPI/APEI: Clear GHES block_status before panic() 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.
