When CPER records are found the address of the records is stashed in the struct ghes. Once the records have been processed, this address is overwritten with zero so that it won't be processed again without being re-populated by firmware. This goes wrong if a struct ghes can be processed concurrently, as can happen at probe time when an NMI occurs. If the NMI arrives on another CPU, the probing CPU may call ghes_clear_estatus() on the records before the handler had finished with them. Even on the same CPU, once the interrupted handler is resumed, it will call ghes_clear_estatus() on the NMIs records, this memory may have already been re-used by firmware. Avoid this stashing by letting the caller hold the address. A later patch will do away with the use of ghes->flags in the read/clear code too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
