4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicholas Krause <xerofoify@xxxxxxxxx> commit fbedcaf43fba35677c01a4ae51e6f79edf4049ba upstream. After the workqueue cleanup, we're registering workqueues based on the presence of an ->edac_check function. When that is the case, we're setting OP_RUNNING_POLL. But we forgot to check that in edac_mc_reset_delay_period(), leading to: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000015d10 IP: [ .. ] queued_spin_lock_slowpath PGD 3ffcc8067 PUD 3ffc56067 PMD 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: ...
