[PATCH v7 10/25] ACPI / APEI: Tell firmware the estatus queue consumed the records

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ACPI has a GHESv2 which is used on hardware reduced platforms to
explicitly acknowledge that the memory for CPER records has been
consumed. This lets an external agent know it can re-use this
memory for something else.

Previously notify_nmi and the estatus queue didn't do this as
they were never used on hardware reduced platforms. Once we move
notify_sea over to use the estatus queue, it may become necessary.

Add the call. This is safe for use in NMI context as the
read_ack_register is pre-mapped by ghes_new() before the
ghes can be added to an RCU list, and then found by the
notification handler.
