From f36c5227cd88b6340c40d62b05859e8213740a97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Mason Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:40:17 +1000 Subject: powerpc/eeh: Don't panic when EEH_MAX_FAILS is exceeded This patch changes the EEH_MAX_FAILS action from panic to printing an error message. Panicking under under this condition is too harsh. Although performance will be affected and the device may not recover, the system is still running, which at the very least should allow for a more graceful shutdown. The patch also removes the msleep() within a spinlock, which can lead to a deadlock and is not recommended.
