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.
