[PATCH 4.4 56/92] powerpc/powernv: Fix NVRAM sleep in invalid context when crashing

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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c1d2a31397ec51f0370f6bd17b19b39152c263cb upstream.

Similarly to opal_event_shutdown, opal_nvram_write can be called in
the crash path with irqs disabled. Special case the delay to avoid
sleeping in invalid context.
