From 75aa803835a5e868292a476fd9b5099ffb619619 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Piggin Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2020 00:26:13 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] ppc/spapr: Ignore common "ibm,nmi-interlock" Linux bug Linux kernels call "ibm,nmi-interlock" in their system reset handlers contrary to PAPR. Returning an error because the CPU does not hold the interlock here causes Linux to print warning messages. PowerVM returns success in this case, so do the same for now.
