+From b3b7c4795ccab5be71f080774c45bbbcc75c2aaf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] x86/MCE: Serialize sysfs changes
+
+The check_interval file in
+
+ /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck<cpu number>
+
+directory is a global timer value for MCE polling. If it is changed by one
+CPU, mce_restart() broadcasts the event to other CPUs to delete and restart
+the MCE polling timer and __mcheck_cpu_init_timer() reinitializes the
+mce_timer variable.
+
+If more than one CPU writes a specific value to the check_interval file
+concurrently, mce_timer is not protected from such concurrent accesses and
+all kinds of explosions happen. Since only root can write to those sysfs
+variables, the issue is not a big deal security-wise.
+
+However, concurrent writes to these configuration variables is void of
+reason so the proper thing to do is to serialize the access with a mutex.
+
+Boris:
+
+ - Make store_int_with_restart() use device_store_ulong() to filter out
+ negative intervals
+ - Limit min interval to 1 second
+ - Correct locking
+ - Massage commit message
