From 404aae5d420ec543e2e8434f7ec0edf5e2d2b0c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2008 10:29:20 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix runtime error in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_amd_64.c This problem is due to the kobject rework recently done in this file. The mce_amd_64.c code uses some wierd forward calls to back out of the recursive way the code creates kobjects. Because of this, we need to verify that we have really created a kobject before calling kobject_uevent(). Many thanks to Yinghai Lu for reporting the problem and testing.
